Research MethodologySample Demographics This research was conducted by My College Options . In the fallof 2015 and spring of 2016, business educators and DECAadvisors were invited to lead an activity in the classroom, as wellas at the State and International Career DevelopmentConferences, encouraging students to register for the MyCollege Options College Planning Program. As part of thatprocess, students provided their attitudes and interests relatedto business careers and their involvement with DECA. The dataanalysis and research findings resulting from that process areshared in this report.Sampling ErrorThe margin of error and the confidence interval below are ameasurement of how well the DECA research results representthe entire student community. For example, in theory, one couldsay that if we performed the survey 100 times, the results foreach respondent would fall within the margin of error above orbelow the percentage reported 99 out of 100 times.Respondent Group.All studentsSample.45,274Estimated Population.249,250Margin of Error (MOE-99%). /- 0.05%Nonsampling ErrorIt is possible that question wording and logistical difficulties inresearch studies can introduce error or bias into the findings,in addition to that caused by non-response and sampling error.Students# of Classroom DECA Members.9,097# of SCDC Respondents.30,832# of ICDC Respondents.12,874APPENDICES# of total DECA rican Middle Eastern.2%White.60%Other.3%Prefer not to respond.8%Graduation tors# of Educator .41%School TypePublic.99%Private.1%78
