通过了《学校到工作机会法》，通过提供工作学习机会，帮助学生从教育过渡到就业。在美国，72%的高中提供以工作为基础的学习机会。这是第一项研究，描述学校的表现和学校为基础的行为就读于STW程序的学生，并比较他们与非工作和其他工作的students.MethodsIn 2003年，问卷调查进行了管理，以五个学区和一个大型城市学校在威斯康星州。在2008年和2010年之间，完成了分析，以表征STW的学生，并将他们与其他students.ResultsOf的6,519名学生年龄在14-18岁的分析，461人参与了STW计划（7%），3,108人非工作（48%），2,950人是其他工作的学生（45%）。与其他学生相比，STW学生的平均成绩不太可能超过2.0，更有可能有三次或三次以上的无故缺课，更有可能在学校赞助的活动中花费<1小时。持有多份工作也负面影响了学生的学业成绩。ConclusionsSchool-to-Work学生报告较差的学业成绩和更多的不健康的学校相关行为相比，非工作的学生和其他工作的学生。虽然许多因素都对学生在学校表现不佳有影响，但需要对参加STW课程的学生进行更多的研究，以了解参与是否对学生的学业成绩产生负面影响。
PurposeThe School-to-Work (STW) Opportunities Act was passed to aid students in transitioning from education to employment by offering work-based learning opportunities. In the United States, 72% of high schools offer work-based learning opportunities for credit. This is the first study to describe school performance and school-based behaviors among students enrolled in STW programs and compare them with nonworking and other-working students.MethodsIn 2003, a questionnaire was administered to five school districts and one large urban school in Wisconsin. Between 2008 and 2010, analyses were completed to characterize STW students and compare them with other students.ResultsOf the 6,519 students aged 14–18 years included in the analyses, 461 were involved in an STW program (7%), 3,108 were non-working (48%), and 2,950 were other-working students (45%). Compared with other students, STW students were less likely to have a grade point average >2.0, more likely to have three or more unexcused absences from school, and more likely to spend <1 hour in school-sponsored activities. Holding multiple jobs also negatively affected a student's academic performance.ConclusionsSchool-to-Work students reported poorer academic performance and more unhealthy school-related behaviors compared with nonworking students and other-working students. Whereas many factors have a role in why students perform poorly in school, more research on students enrolled in STW programs is needed to understand whether participating has a negative impact on students' academic achievement.
