Mohammad, M. S. "Technical/vocational secondary education planning in Iraq." Thesis, University of Salford, 1989. http://usir.salford.ac.uk/2115/.

Full text
Abstract:
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) has proposed that economic growth in developing countries can best be achieved through a good delivery of technical/vocational education targeted to the specific needs of the country and its economy. In Iraq, the state regards technical/vocational education within the secondary system of education as the main source of the middle-rank skilled labour needed to satisfy the requirements of the economy. This study analyses the development of technical/vocational secondary education policies in Iraq. It seeks to examine this system in relation to the country's geopolitical, economic, social and cultural circumstances. The first chapter considers the arguments for and against I technical and vocational: education. The second chapter is concerned with Iraq's geopolitical position and examines the structure of its society. It will also examine the evolution and development of the Iraqi economy, with the main focus on the period after 1968. The third chapter is an analysis of the existing Iraqi educational system, including principles, aims and priorities, levels of education and quantitative growth, education finance and administration, curriculum and examination system. The fourth chapter reviews the nature of and growing need for technical and vocational education throughout the history of the country. The fifth chapter evaluates the existing system of technical and vocational education by firstly, examining its characteristics and then the problems facing it. Implications for planning and the reform of technical and vocational education in Iraq emerge from the conclusions and suggestions which constitute the final part.

Abstract:
This thesis was written as part of a process to secure funds for developing a "Preparatory Vocational Education" training academy for entry-level "Irrigation Technicians." Research revealed that funding for vocational program development was being awarded to "All-inclusive" or academy-style programs. These programs provide instruction necessary for students with zero experience to compete as entry-level journeymen. This project is based on a partial proposal draft for a U.S. Department of Labor Grant.

Shadow, Cyndie. "An Exploration of Knowledge Transfer and Career College Executive Succession Planning." Thesis, Walden University, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10975343.

Full text
Abstract:

The career college sector of the post secondary education industry contributes more than $20 billion to the U.S. economy annually, but turnover in executive leader roles at career colleges is extremely high. Usually, such turnover occurs without succession planning or knowledge transfer for the new executive. The purpose of this exploratory case study was to explore the need for knowledge transfer when executive turnover occurs in career colleges. This single case study was framed on theories of knowledge addressing concepts such as knowledge stickiness, transfers, and gaps. The overarching research question concerned how lack of knowledge transfer during executive leadership succession at a career college influences stakeholder engagement, where stakeholders are executives, administrators, and faculty. The conceptual framework for this study was Szulanski’s sticky knowledge concept, which pertains to how knowledge transfer from one executive leader to the next may be blocked. Knowledge attrition can be the basis for declining performance and outcomes in an institution such as a career college. In this bounded, exploratory case study using semistructured interviews with stakeholders, the aim was to understand how to improve knowledge transfer in these colleges so that they may remain available for the students they serve, who usually represent the first generation in their families to obtain any postsecondary certification. This aim is socially significant because completion of career education can be a factor leading individuals into the middle class. Social change for a portion of the underserved population can certainly emanate from educational opportunities that lead to career placement, which is why understanding executive succession in career colleges has significance in American society.

Abstract:
From 2010, the South African vocational skills education is offered by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) through the Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges. TVET colleges need to be transformed in order to empower young learners with the skills required by the various sectors of the economy. The purpose of this study was to assess the implementation of the National Certificate (Vocational) Plant Production module in Training and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Colleges. The sample for this study is concurrent triangulation whereby complementary methods of data sources were brought together to offset each other‘s weaknesses. The sample for this study consisted of participants from three TVET colleges: one deep rural, one semi-rural/semi-urban and one urban in terms of geographical location. A total of 18 participants were interviewed: 2 subject advisors engaged by the colleges, 1 lecturer from college A, 3 lecturers from college B, 2 lecturers from college C, 4 graduates from college B, 3 graduates from college C and 3 employers .Research design for this study has features of both a survey and a case study. The mixed-method approach was applied using document analysis, questionnaires and interviews for data collection. The researcher found out that there is a disparity between the Plant Production guidelines and their implementation and assessment. Among the main reasons for failure to implement the guidelines properly are poor or inadequate infrastructure for doing practical work, high rate of student absenteeism within the investigated categories, and the high drop-out rate at Levels 2–4. To minimize the challenges in offering the Plant Production module, the study recommends that since some colleges cannot afford purchasing large sizes of land to properly implement the Plant Production guidelines, the government and the DHET should link the Primary Agriculture training to the land reform program where students can be trained under the land reform program.

Abstract:

Historically, vocational education has been sex-typed by program area, following patterns in the work force. Increasing enrollments and employment of females and males in fields traditionally dominated by the opposite sex is one of the goals of vocational educators. In order to do this, vocational educators need to understand the individuals who now choose nontraditional programs and why they make the choices they do. Two questions guided this study: l. How do high school students come to make the decision to enroll in vocational programs nontraditional for their sex? 2. How do these students think about their current training in relation to their future plans?

Abstract:
The study was aimed at discovering the extent to which the education system of Venda satisfies the human resource needs of that area. Chapter one not only outlines the aim of the study but also defines certain terminology used in the text. It also gives an outline of the research methodology. Chapter two identifies the theoretical guidelines with regard to how the education system is related to human resource needs. In defining the education system the chapter indicates that education cannot be divorced from the society in which it exists and therefore must be seen as a social, cultural and economic phenomenon. Chapter three examines the manner in which human resources function as a determinant of the education system. In examining the meaning of human resources it indicates the importance of developing the skills of the people as well as indicating the importance of attitudes towards work of the people, thus showing that skills and attitudes together help create good human resources for the growth and development of society. Chapter four indicates general educational needs as well as the criteria to be used for the purposes of this research. It indicates that basic skills should be developed in all people so that they can be able to adjust properly to the workplace. It emphasises the importance of reading, writing, computation and speaking abilities as the basis for education which intends to develop good human resources. Chapter five is the empirical study. It therefore indicates how the postal questionnaire was used. It also contains the results of the empirical study, and explains them. Chapter six gives the conclusions as well as the recommendations that are a result of this research. It concludes that the education system and society are bound together and should not be separated, that human resource development is an important aim of education systems and therefore development should not be one-sided but should be complete, that is, it should include social and cultural skills and economic development. Thus education in Venda should not ignore this, and should be of a good quality as from the lowest standards, so that whether a person has an education of up to Standard 5, 8 or 10 it should not be an insurmountable handicap to adjustment to the work situation.

Full text
Abstract:
From our earliest history, gifted women from Sappho and Harriet Tubman to Eleanor Roosevelt and Nadine Gordimer have enhanced our lives through their gifts and accomplishments. Since many of these gifted women have succeeded in the face of almost insurmountable obstacles, it is often assumed that all gifted women will be able to achieve without outside help. However, many gifted women do not realize their potential and end up squandering their gifts in menial tasks, underpaid jobs, and unfulfilled lives. Thus, career development for gifted women is an essential task.For women who possess a variety of talents, one of the best ways to be fulfilled is through the balancing of multiple roles, such as family and work. Consequently, one aspect of career development, which is of great importance to gifted women in particular, is the decision about whether to engage in multiple roles and how to do so successfully. Since juggling multiple roles requires prior planning and serious commitment, one of the best ways to assist gifted young women in these tasks is to gain information about how the decision was made and determine their level of commitment to it. As with many career decisions, knowledge about, and encouragement for, particular choices may depend upon mentors and role models.Mentors and role models can be invaluable but their impact in helping with preparation for a lifestyle involving multiple roles is unknown. To determine who their mentors and role models are and how they affect attitudes toward multiple roles, 101 gifted high school women completed a demographics question and the Attitudes Toward Multiple Role Planning scale (ATMRP). Data were analyzed via frequency counts, chisquare, and MANOVA procedures.Contrary to expectations, study participants did not have significantly more role models than they did mentors nor was any one group mentioned most often as mentors and role models. As anticipated, most gifted young women did plan to combine family and paid employment in their lives. However, no significant group differences on the A'TMRP were found between those with mentors and role models and those without. Conclusions and implications are discussed.

Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate if there are any possible gaps in the offering Vocational Curriculum Report 191, in terms of knowledge, skills and link to the world of work. This study was a case study of three Technical and Vocational Education and Training Colleges that offer Vocational Curriculum Report 191, and it was geographically limited to the province of the Eastern Cape. The five main findings from this study were that firstly, the curriculum offers theory without practice. Secondly, there is a mismatch between what is offered as curriculum at Technical and Vocational Education and Training Colleges and what the labour market wants. Thirdly, lecturers do not have the practical exposure that relates to their fields of study. Fourthly, Vocational Curriculum Report 191 does not promote self-employment of its students and lastly, the curriculum is outdated and does not comply with the criteria of current employment opportunities. The study recommends that the curriculum be reviewed and revised. Technical and Vocational Education and Training colleges need to have in site practice facilities to cater for the practical application of theoretical knowledge of students. Partnerships between Technical and Vocational Education and Training Colleges, the labour market and Sector Education and Training Authorities are strongly recommended in this study.

Since 1990, IDEA has required a transition-focused IEP for adolescents with special needs. There have been limited data on whether culturally and/or linguistically diverse (CLD) students in Kansas were receiving transition services to mitigate or remedy their marginalized, disenfranchised, and dis-empowered status. This study examined transition practices for CLD students with special needs in Kansas. The hypothesis tested was that Kansas schools address the multicultural needs of exceptional students in transition practice. There were two research questions. First, do considerations of multicultural needs figure into transition practices in Kansas schools? Second, are multicultural needs taken into account to a greater extent in certain areas of transition? A review of research literature yielded multicultural considerations relevant to the five domains of transition: 1) self-care, domestic living; 2) recreation and leisure; 3) communication and social skills; 4) vocational skills; and 5) community participation skills. An Internet survey with 22 Likert items covering these multicultural needs and concerns was administered via e-mail. A total of 582 valid e-mail addresses were used, comprising contact information developed from a sample frame of a KSDE database of resource-room teachers. The survey e-mail and follow-up were sent to every contact, covering 190 of the 293 unified school districts of Kansas. The completed sample was 178, for a response rate of 30.58%. Data were analyzed from the 93 participants whose responses indicated experience as caseworkers in the past three years on transition-focused IEP teams for at least one student in any of the three CLD groups of interest in the present study—African Americans, Native American Indians, or Hispanic/Latinos. Means and standard deviations were calculated for the frequencies of choices on the 22 Likert items. Pearson's chi-square testing was used to determine significance. Survey results indicated that on 17 of 22 items there was 80% or higher agreement among caseworkers that their school communities were addressing the multicultural needs and concerns of students and families in transition practices. Discussion includes participants' comments. Recommendations are given to increase the roles of cultural and linguistic heritages in transition in Kansas schools, especially in the skill-areas of community participation and communication-and-social skills.

La construction d’une offre de formation professionnelle destinées aux personnes actives - demandeurs d’emploi, salariés et étudiants - représente un gage de garantie pour les entreprises qui y voient un moyen de recruter du personnel qualifié et pour les institutions étatiques un moyen de maintenir sa compétitivité au sein de l’économie de marché.Notre étude s’est donc axée sur Libye dont les conséquences de la guerre civile influent le tissu économique ainsi que le marché de l’emploi. La problématique générale de la recherche : « quelle devrait être la structuration de l’offre de formation et d’enseignement professionnelle appropriée et intégrable au système national et pouvant répondre aux besoins des entreprises installées en Lybie ? »Un cadre théorique a été élaboré donnant lieu à la définition conceptuelle de l’offre de formation professionnelle ainsi que les deux modèles majeurs d’offre de formation dont d’autres pays se sont inspirés. Sa construction s’articule autour d’une approche planifiée dit Top Down dont l’Etat centralise sa prise de décision en matière de politique éducative ou d’une approche prospective dit Bottom up dont l’Etat décentralise l’offre de formation par un système de partenariat public-privé.D’un point de vue méthodologique, le cadre empirique s’est construit autour du modèle de recherche-action en vue d’établir une démarche de « projet d’actions ». Cette étude a été enrichie d’une enquête qualitative et d’une enquête quantitative.Les analyses révèlent que bien que difficilement applicable la structuration de l’offre de formation libyenne devrait s’inspirer de l’approche Bottom up.

The general problem of research: "What should be the structuring of the training and vocational training offer that is appropriate and integrable with the national system and that can meet the needs of businesses established in Libya? "A theoretical framework has been developed giving rise to the conceptual definition of vocational training provision as well as the two major models of training offer that other countries have been inspired by. Its construction revolves around a planned approach called Top Down, the state centralizes its decision-making in educational policy or a prospective approach called Bottom up, the state decentralizes the training offer by a system. public-private partnership.From a methodological point of view, the empirical framework was built around the research-action model with a view to establishing a "project of actions" approach. This study was enriched by a qualitative survey and a quantitative survey.The analyzes reveal that although it is difficult to apply the structuring of the Libyan training offer should be inspired by the Bottom up approach. With these elements, some recommendations have been proposed.KEYWORDSVocational Training, Libya, Market Economy, Top down, Bottom up

The aim of the investigation is to assess the extent to which various initiatives aimed at improving the status of a technical subject like Home Economics (H/E), have helped to transform the attitudes and perceptions of teachers and students in a school in Zimbabwe. The study was carried out at Rusununguko Secondary School in Zimbabwe, where H/E was one of the technical subjects within a curriculum mainly dominated by academic subjects. Students and teachers' attitudes and perceptions towards H/E were assessed along the following dimensions: 1. The extent to which H/E is subjected to gender stereotyping; 2. The extent to which H/E is viewed as suitable for slow learners and low-achieving students; 3. The extent to which the subject suffers from subject choice constraints; 4. The extent to which H/E is viewed in terms of low academic and occupational expectations; 5. The extent to which the subject is perceived as offering low-status knowledge when compared to other subjects.

Abstract:
Vocational and technical education (EFA) passed in recent years to take a strategic value to regional development, with a result of changes occurring in professional and technical education for decades. The main objective of this study was to investigate the role of vocational and technical education in regional development. Initially we analyzed the relation between human capital, education and economic development through a survey of theories and key representatives of human capital. Then the evolution of the historical process of professional education in Brazil was shown from the beginnings to the present day, highlighting their transformations and based on a story by building more than 100 years. Having socioeconomic data from IBGE and RAIS to support an approach to regional development was made highlighting regional dynamics and socioeconomic characteristics of Brazilian regions, emphasizing the demographic, economic and social aspects. Then the relationship between vocational and technological education and development was shown in the Brazilian regions showing the interaction between them by examining the Locational Quotient ", and also the data of the Ministry of Education (MEC) on vocational and technical education. Finally, we verify the causal relationship between the professional and technological education and regional development addressing the contribution of EFA regions, and also of public policies for EFA. The study showed in general the existence of a relationship between EPT and regional development, even with some limitations that did not allow us a deeper analysis.
A educação profissional e tecnológica (EPT) passou nos últimos anos a assumir um valor estratégico para o desenvolvimento regional, sendo resultado das transformações ocorridas no ensino profissional e técnico ao longo de décadas. O objetivo principal do presente trabalho foi verificar o papel da educação profissional e tecnológica no desenvolvimento regional. Inicialmente foi analisada a relação entre o capital humano, educação e o desenvolvimento econômico através de um levantamento das teorias e principais representantes do capital humano. Em seguida foi mostrada a evolução do processo histórico da educação profissional no Brasil desde os primórdios até os dias atuais destacando suas transformações, fundamentada numa história de construção de mais de 100 anos. Tendo como suporte os dados socioeconômicos do IBGE e da RAIS, foi feita uma abordagem do desenvolvimento regional destacando a dinâmica regional e a caracterização socioeconômica das regiões brasileiras, enfatizando os aspectos demográficos, econômicos e sociais. Em seguida foi mostrada a relação entre educação profissional e tecnológica e o desenvolvimento nas regiões brasileiras mostrando a interação entre ambos através da análise do Quociente Locacional , e também dos dados do Ministério da Educação (MEC) sobre a educação profissional e tecnológica. Por fim, verificamos a relação de causalidade entre a educação profissional e tecnológica e o desenvolvimento regional abordando a contribuição da EPT nas regiões, e também das políticas públicas para a EPT. O estudo mostrou de um modo geral a existência de uma relação entre a EPT e o desenvolvimento regional quando analisada e comparada com a oferta de cursos por setores produtivos da EPT, com o PIB por setores e o quociente locacional das regiões e mesorregiões.

Abstract:
Agriculture is a one billion dollar industry in the state of California, yet science and agriculture are overlooked in elementary and middle schools. Instead, an emphasis is placed on writing, reading, and math, subjects that are tested at the state level. As a result, fourth and eighth graders in California placed 38th out of 41 in a National Science Assessment Test. In the spring of 2003, science will be included in the statewide test; therefore, elementary and middle school will have to address the subject of science and its impact on the school day. In 2002 the California State Board of Education approved a new California Science Framework, which suggests implementing an integrated approach to teaching science in the classroom.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Democratic South African government inaugurated in 1994 identified the need for intermediate skills that are required to contribute to the growth of the economy and to reduce the high unemployment rate. Further Education and Training Colleges (FETC) were established after 1994 by merging the former 152 technical colleges into 50 FETCs. The function of these FETCs was to offer intermediate skills to the youth, women, and employed and unemployed South Africans. The South African government introduced a number of strategies, Acts and policies to support the colleges and to implement demand-driven intermediate skills programmes which would close the skills gap and improve the growth of the economy. These policies seek to ensure that skills offered at colleges are aligned to the needs of industry and to make sure that the college programmes will be in demand in the work place. The study presented is aimed at investigating this alignment by evaluating how apprentices in the final stage of their vocational training perform and meet the demands at their work places. A number of strategies used by different countries to support and develop their education systems are discussed. The discussion is directed at considering how vocational education ensures a positive contribution to skills development and what its impact is on the growth of the economy. This study provides a comprehensive policy and legislative framework which governs and supports the higher education institutions and the FETCs. The study was designed to determine whether welding apprentices from the College are, according to the work place staff and management and stakeholder bodies, appropriately equipped with vocational skills and knowledge to execute their duties at the work place. The evaluation and analysis of the data extracted from the responses of the interviews and questionnaires are presented and discussed. The results enabled the researcher to conclude that the evaluation of apprentice performance at the work place provides significant insight into the question of how vocational training and knowledge at the WCFETC meet the demands at the work place. Conclusions are drawn and recommendations are made.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die demokratiese Suid-Afrikaanse Regering, wat in 1994 ingehuldig is, het die behoefte aan intermediêre vaardighede om die groei van die ekonomie en die van die hoë werkloosheidssyfer te verlig, geïdentifiseer. Verdere Onderwys en Opleiding Kolleges (VOOKS) is na 1994 totstand gebring deur die samesmelting van 152 voormalige Tegniese kolleges tot 50 VOOKS. Die funksie van die Verdere Onderwys en Opleiding Kolleges was om intermediêre vaardighede aan die jeug, vrouens en Suid-Afrikaners in diens of werkloos, te verskaf. Die Suid-Afrikaanse Regering het ´n aantal strategieë, wette en beleidsrigtings aangeneem om die kolleges te ondersteun en om die aanvraag-gedrewe intermediêre vaardigheidsprogramme te implementeer wat dan die vaardigheidsgaping sou vernou en die groei van die ekonomie sou bevorder. Hierdie beleidsrigting beoog om te verseker dat vaardighede wat by die Kolleges aangebied word, belyn is met die industrie as ook om te verseker dat die kollege programme benodig word in die werksplek. Die studie is gemik daarop om hierdie belyning te ondersoek en te evalueer hoe vakleerlinge in die laaste stadium van hulle ambagsopleiding vaar, en voldoen aan die eise van die werksplek. ´n Aantal strategieë wat deur verskillende lande gebruik word, om hulle eie opvoedingsstelsels te ontwikkel, word bespreek. Die bespreking verwys na hoe ambagsopvoeding ´n toevoeging tot vaardigheidsontwikkeling kan verseker en wat die impak daarvan op die groei van die ekonomie het. ´n Alomvattende beleid en ´n wetsraamwerk, wat Hoër OpvoedingsInstansies en die Verdere Onderwys en Opleiding Kolleges beheer en ondersteun, word verskaf. Die studie is ontwerp om te bepaal of die sweis vakleerlinge van die kollege, volgens die werksplek personeel en -bestuur en belanghebbende liggame, toepaslik toegerus en bevoeg is met ambagsvaardighede en kennis om die pligte van die werksplek uit te voer. Die evaluering en analise van die data, afgelei van die terugvoering van die onderhoude en vraelyste, word weergegee en voledig bespreek. Die resultate stel die navorser in staat om tot die gevolgtrekking te kom dat die evaluering van vakleerling-werksverrigting by die werksplek merkbare insig tot die vraag hoe ambagsopleiding en kennis by die Weskus VOOK aan die eise van die werksplek voldoen. Gevolgtrekkings en aanbevelings word aangebied.

The competitive, stimulated by constant innovations for management process and velocity in decisions making, makes the past to be despised, instead of, it is utilized like learning model. When if despise the precious knowledge origin of past experience, the organization will be fated to repeating mistakes. This work has like objective investigates the existence of practice return to formation of explicit organizational memory for preservation of knowledge, as well as, the existence of practice of the utilization this knowledge during the process of the planning for SENAC S??o Paulo, an organization of national distinction in the segment professional education. To answer to the problem of research was carried out a single case study, period from September 2007 to May 2008, involve two stages: at first, carried out a bibliographical research and documentary, so that identify theories about creation of knowledge within organizations, about formation of organizational memory and theirs processes and still about the planning. The research method was quantitative with analyses of the content. The adopted methodology proposed to classify two analysis groups: groups of managers of the functional areas and group of development areas and offer of products, soon afterwards we tried to identify existences of differences between the two groups. Taking into account the interviewees' perceptions, the results indicate that both groups manifested similar positions. These Results revealed that, there is use of organizational memory during the process of tactical planning, however, it could happen with large effective case there were explicit methodologies or motivated institutional for the guard or maintenance of memory. The research demonstrated that, the absence of the explicitness and incentive, the individual memory becomes a strong reference to recovery of historical information

This work is linked to the Graduate Program (sensu) in Education at the University of West Paulista, in the line of research Educational Institution: Organization and Management. The main objective of this research was to identify how the management of a public institution of the federal network of vocational and technological education is perceived by the director and teachers. To meet these goals, the research adopted a qualitative approach being developed in case study format, taking as reference a public institution of the federal network of vocational and technological education, located in the state of São Paulo. For its systematization, this work was organized in three studies. The first was held in order to present as historically builds the process of education linked to the construction project of vocational and technological education, portrayed in the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology. The methodology was guided in bibliographical study survey. We conducted a survey of scientific publications produced in Brazil in the last 16 years, between 2000 and 2015, the Scielo database (Scientific Electronic Library Online) and IBICT database (Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology). In the second study, we sought to identify and analyze how the director of a public institution of the federal professional and technological education network includes school management. The semi-structured interview, used as a data collection instrument, made it possible for information to be organized and analyzed, providing data to analyze the school management in the research institution. The third study aimed to identify how the school management in the context of the public institution of the federal network of vocational and technological education is perceived by teachers. Also we used semi-structured interviews as a tool for data collection. Counted with the participation of 15 teachers. In this case, the organization and data analysis were performed from the Collective Subject Discourse technique (DSC). The results, in general, showed that the challenge of the director and teachers, public institution of the federal network of vocational and technological education is to guide the pedagogical actions to meet the integrated basic education proposal to vocational and technological training, with a view to emancipating training. The school management in this institution needs to be reflected in their context and in its complexity, as the director and teachers need to understand the importance of their educational policy actions, as well as develop educational planning, so that the entire work organization school is the result of collective participation based on democratic principles. So the school management needs to have a more effective participation of the director, so that it leads along with the teachers the political-pedagogical project of the school, which is in preparation, prioritizing pedagogical issues.

No segundo estudo, buscou-se identificar e analisar como o diretor de uma instituição pública da rede federal de ensino profissional e tecnológico compreende a gestão escolar. A entrevista semiestruturada, utilizada como instrumento de coleta de dados, possibilitou que as informações fossem organizadas e analisadas, oferecendo dados para analisar a gestão escolar na instituição pesquisada. O terceiro estudo teve como objetivo identificar como a gestão escolar no contexto da instituição pública da rede federal de ensino profissional e tecnológico é percebida pelos docentes. Também utilizou-se de entrevista semiestruturada, como instrumento para coleta de dados. Contou-se com a participação de 15 docentes. Neste caso, a organização e análise dos dados foram realizadas a partir da técnica do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC). Os resultados, de forma geral, evidenciaram que o desafio do diretor e dos docentes, da instituição pública da rede federal de ensino profissional e tecnológico, é nortear as ações pedagógicas para ir ao encontro da proposta de educação básica integrada à formação profissional e tecnológica, com vistas à formação emancipadora. A gestão escolar, nesta instituição, precisa ser refletida no seu contexto e na sua complexidade, visto que o diretor e os docentes precisam compreender a importância das suas ações políticas educacionais, assim como desenvolver o planejamento pedagógico, de maneira que toda a organização do trabalho escolar seja resultado de participação coletiva fundamentado em princípios democráticos

Full text
Abstract:
Although manpower and educational planning have been used in Malaysia for a considerable time to ensure an adequate supply of qualified manpower for the economy, the problem of skilled manpower shortages still persists. Estimated employment targets forecasted by planners to meet the economic needs of the country often clash with the needs and capabilities of vocational students who are seeking employment in the labour market. These students face the problem of occupational choices. Sometimes their occupational preferences tend to be far removed from the demand of the country's manpower needs, resulting in shortages and surpluses in certain occupational categories. The upwardly distorted, educational system, the narrow range of available careers, inadequate careers information and limited careers guidance have frequently been cited as reasons why vocational stream students manifest these unrealistic career ambitions. A study of vocational stream students' occupational expectations could generate a wide range of information for formulating appropriate policies for the development of the vocational education system and the labour market. Unfortunately, despite the usefulness of such information, there is a paucity of research in this area. In view of the above, the study was formulated to achieve the following objectives: 1) to concentrate on the extent to which students of vocational schools are aware of national manpower needs and how their occupational expectations relate to them; 2) to explore the extent to which factors other than manpower needs may affect students' occupational expectations; 3) to investigate the role played by careers guidance in the vocational school in helping students to make their occupational decisions; 4) to acquire an understanding of the role of the technical and vocational education planners in relation to the way manpower and educational planning has developed and operates. To explore possible explanations for the persistence of manpower needs and students' occupational expectations, two kinds of data were used: sample surveys and interview data. A total of 420 Form V vocational stream students were surveyed. The interviews were conducted with three groups of key informants: 28 vocational stream students, 3 careers guidance and counselling teachers and 4 technical and vocational education planners. The analysis of the data confirms that: 1) a majority of vocational stream students were unaware of the country's skilled manpower requirements although there were efforts made by the schools to help them prepare for future occupations; 2) vocational stream students' occupational expectations were often not in accordance with the country's skilled manpower requirements. Vocational students' occupational expectations were unrealistic. Students tend to place priority on their own individual needs rather than being influenced by the occupational structure of the country; 3) except for job security and parents, other factors that affected vocational stream students' choice of expected occupations were not dominant. However, students' occupational expectations were negatively related to their fathers' present occupations; 4) the vocational course specialisation was a significant determinant in selecting expected occupations of vocational stream students, however, these did not make them renounce other occupations; 5) male vocational stream students were more likely to exhibit extrinsic reasons for job expectations than were vocational stream female students who showed a marked preference for people-oriented aspects of occupational expectations; 6) the secondary vocational schools' careers guidance and counselling programmes were generally appreciated and thought to be helpful, there is very little evidence that they provided the source of careers information; 7) there are limitations in manpower and educational planning models, and there is a lack of some of the conditions required for their optimal functioning. The secondary vocational schools are not demand driven, their output has not matched actual industrial requirements.

Abstract:
The main problem being investigated is why there were such divergent views on the appropriate curriculum for ANC education-in-exile from within the ANC, and in the light of this contestation, what happened in reality to curriculum practice at the institutions. The arguments for Academic, Political and Polytechnic Education are contextualized in the curriculum debates of the times, that is, the 20th century international policy discourse, the African curriculum debates and Apartheid Education in South Africa. This study examines how Academic Education, despite the sharp debates, was institutionalised at the SOMAFCO High School. It also analyses the arguments for and various notions of Political and Polytechnic Education as well as what happened to these in practice at the school. The SOMAFCO Primary School went through three phases of curriculum development. The school opened in 1980 under a ‘caretaker’ staff and without a structured curriculum. During the second phase 1980-1982 a progressive curriculum was developed by Barbara and Terry Bell. After the Bells resigned in 1982, a conventional academic curriculum was implemented by Dennis September, the new principal.

Abstract:
Career Academy instructors’ technical literacy is vital to the academic success of students. This nonexperimental ex post facto study examined the relationships between the level of technical literacy of instructors in career academies and student academic performance. It was also undertaken to explore the relationship between the pedagogical training of instructors and the academic performance of students. Out of a heterogeneous population of 564 teachers in six targeted schools, 136 teachers (26.0 %) responded to an online survey. The survey was designed to gather demographic and teaching experience data. Each demographic item was linked by researchers to teachers’ technology use in the classroom. Student achievement was measured by student learning gains as assessed by the reading section of the FCAT from the previous to the present school year. Linear and hierarchical regressions were conducted to examine the research questions. To clarify the possibility of teacher gender and teacher race/ethnic group differences by research variable, a series of one-way ANOVAs were conducted. As revealed by the ANOVA results, there were not statistically significant group differences in any of the research variables by teacher gender or teacher race/ethnicity. Greater student learning gains were associated with greater teacher technical expertise integrating computers and technology into the classroom, even after controlling for teacher attitude towards computers. Neither teacher attitude toward technology integration nor years of experience in integrating computers into the curriculum significantly predicted student learning gains in the regression models. Implications for HRD theory, research, and practice suggest that identifying teacher levels of technical literacy may help improve student academic performance by facilitating professional development strategies and new parameters for defining highly qualified instructors with 21st century skills. District professional development programs can benefit by increasing their offerings to include more computer and information communication technology courses. Teacher preparation programs can benefit by including technical literacy as part of their curriculum. State certification requirements could be expanded to include formal surveys to assess teacher use of technology.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Students graduate from Boland College after obtaining the National Certificates N4 – N6 in Tourism. I have been working at Boland College Stellenbosch Campus as a tourism lecturer for 12 years and over the past few years I have found that students have been struggling to find employment in the tourism industry on completion of their studies. The national tourism curriculum offered at FET colleges was implemented in 1995 with the last renewal in 2001 for selected subjects. The tourism industry, however, is a vibrant, ever-changing industry which stands in direct contrast with a static, needs-insensitive and unchanging curriculum. The aim of this study was to establish in which respects the current national tourism curriculum corresponds, or does not correspond, with what the tourism industry in Stellenbosch requires from entry-level employees in terms of expected skills, knowledge and attitudes. Qualitative methods were used to generate data from employers representing the tourism industry in Stellenbosch, graduates and lecturers from Boland College. Research participants were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. The data was analysed by doing verbatim transcriptions of the interviews, using coding and an Excel spread sheet analysis. The results revealed specific areas where the current national tourism curriculum does not correspond with the expectations and needs that the tourism industry in Stellenbosch has from entry-level employees in terms of expected skills, knowledge and attitudes.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Studente ontvang ‘n kwalifikasie in Toerisme nadat hulle die Nasionale Sertifikate N4 – N6 in Toerisme voltooi het. Ek werk die afgelope 12 jaar as toerismedosent by Boland Kollege Stellenbosch Kampus. Gedurende die afgelope paar jaar het ek gevind dat studente sukkel om werk te kry in die toerismebedryf nadat hulle hul studies voltooi het. Die nasionale toerisme-kurrikulum wat by VOO Kolleges aangebied word, is in 1995 geïmplementeer en die laaste keer in 2001 hernu en boonop slegs in sekere vakke. Die toerismebedryf is egter ‘n lewendige, vinnig-veranderende industrie in direkte teenstelling met die statiese, onveranderde kurrikulum wat oënskynlik nie sensitief genoeg is vir die behoeftes van die toerismebedryf nie. Die doel van hierdie studie was om vas te stel in watter mate die huidige nasionale toerisme-kurrikulum ooreenstem, of nie ooreenstem nie, met wat die toerismebedryf in Stellenbosch verwag van intreevlak-werknemers in terme van verwagte vaardighede, kennis en houdings. Kwalitatiewe metodes is gebruik om data te genereer en onderhoude is gevoer met werkgewers wat die toerismebedryf in Stellenbosch verteenwoordig asook gegradueerdes en dosente van Boland Kollege. Daar is hoofsaaklik gebruik gemaak van semi-gestruktueerde onderhoude. Die data-analise het bestaan uit verbatim getranskribeerde onderhoude, die kodering daarvan asook ‘n genoteerde Excel-ontledingstaat. Die resultate van die studie dui op spesifieke aspekte van die nasionale toerisme kurrikulum wat nie ooreenstem met die verwagtinge en behoeftes wat die toerisme-industrie in Stellenbosch het van intreevlak werknemers in terme van vaardighede, kennis en houdings nie.
