This report examines vocational/technical coursetaking among public high school graduates between 1982 and 1998. The report focuses on trends in vocational/technical coursetaking overall, in introductory technology and computer-related coursetaking, and in the ways in which high school students combine vocational/technical and academic coursetaking. The report analyzes these trends by examining high school transcripts for the graduating classes of 1982, 1990, 1992, 1994, and 1998. Transcripts provide information on the courses that graduates took in grades 9 through 12. For simplicity's sake, the report refers to this information as 'high school coursetaking.' With the exception of the section on vocational/technical coursetaking by grade level, which examines coursetaking in each of grades 9 through 12 separately, the report describes the cumulative coursework that graduates took in high school. The report uses the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Secondary School Taxonomy (SST) to classify courses into broad course groupings.
