A Comparative Multi-Case Study of Agricultural Education Teachers in Reference to the Implementation of Academic IntegrationGill, Bart Eugene 2011 May 1900 (has links)
Many agricultural educators fail to integrate core subject concepts into their classrooms. Current research addresses the perceptions of agricultural educators regarding core subject integration, but little research notes the barriers that are identified in the perception studies and the action of agricultural educators needed to overcome those barriers. The purpose of this study was to identify the path progressive agricultural educators, who are successful in integrating core subject concepts, particularly STEM, in their classroom followed. Additionally, to determine the tools and resources the progressive agricultural educators believe other agricultural educators need in order to follow a similar path. Overall the participants in the study all followed similar paths to become progressive in academic integration. All participants appeared to be highly self-motivated individuals because they seek out professional development opportunities in order to continuously improve the teaching in their classrooms and increase rigor within their curriculum. Collaboration between agricultural educators and core subject educators is crucial to increasing rigor in the agricultural education classroom (Myers & Thompson, 2008). Administrators at the participating schools were supportive of the idea of academic integration in the agricultural science classroom. According to the participants, longer professional development workshops are needed for teachers to successfully advance in the area of academic integration along with resource sharing opportunities between other agricultural educators and potentially core subject teachers. The participants all possess adequate facilities to conduct academic integration and believe available facilities and budgets affect the success of academic integration, because without proper facilities and supplies it is difficult for teachers to incorporate inquiry based instruction. According to the participants budgets also are a constraint for teachers when attempting to advance. If the teacher’s budget does not allow for extra purchases, then the teacher should take it upon themselves to seek out additional fiscal support to assist in classroom instruction, by writing grants or asking the local community for support.

An Assessment of Student Performance in Career and Technical Education Programs and On Core Academic Subject AreasSnow, Annie Jeanette 12 May 2012 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to examine the quality of career and technical education programs on high school students. Specifically, the study addressed the percentage of CTE completers meeting Carl Perkins’ placement indicators in the areas of post secondary education, employment in the field trained or related field, and the military. The study examined whether the percentage of dropout for CTE students was reduced between 2006 and 2010. The study examined whether significant differences existed between CTE participants and non-CTE participants (regular high school students) based on their scores in United States History, English II Writing, English II Multiple Choice, Biology I, and Algebra I. The study also addressed significant differences among the CTE participants in the MS-CPAS scores based on gender. This study employed the ex post facto research design. The researcher used percentages and t-tests to determine the findings of the study. The population for thestudy was 675 participants. The researcher used the sample size calculator (http://www.surveysystem.com) to select representative sample size of the population based on 95% confidence level. A systematic random sampling was used to select the 140 CTE completers and 245 non-CTE participants for the study. Findings for the study indicated that from 2006 to 2010, CTE completers continued their education, entered the workforce, and enlisted in the military at percentages that met Carl Perkins’ accountability standards for placement. Results revealed that that there was no progress made in the dropout rate for Noxubee County High School. Additional findings showed that there were no statistical significant differences between CTE completers and non-CTE participants based on test scores in the Mississippi academic core subjects that included United States History, English II Writing, English II Multiple Choice, Biology I, and Algebra I. The researcher also found that there were statistical significant differences in the MS-CPAS scores based on gender.

Möjligheter och hinder för ämnesintegration : En studie av karaktärsämneslärares uppfattning av ämnesintegration på IndustriprogrammetAndersson, Martin January 2012 (has links)
Ämnesintegration är ett sätt att organisera undervisning för att eleven ska se det som förmedlas i ett större perspektiv, i syfte att skapa en helhetssyn på kunskaper, i ett effektivare lärande. Meningen är att elevernas motivation ska öka liksom måluppfyllnaden för undervisningen. Studien har för avsikt att undersöka hur karaktärsämneslärare på Industriprogrammet uppfattar ämnesintegration. Det som undersöks är vilka möjligheter och hinder för ämnesintegration karaktärsämneslärarna uppfattar genom kvalitativa intervjuer med 6st karaktärsämneslärare på Industriprogrammet. Undersökningen kompletteras också med en jämförelse av kärnämneslärares uppfattning om infärgning i en annan studie. Resultaten visar att karaktärsämneslärarna uppfattar fler möjligheter än hinder och har hittat sätt att övervinna hindren för att jobba ämnesintegrerat. Möjligheterna beskrivs som ökande motivation hos eleverna, snabbare inlärning och helhetssyn på kunskaperna. Hindren beskrivs som kunskapssyn, brist på kommunikation och tid. Lösningarna beskrivs som att ta initiativ, skapa gemensam tid och tydliga och enkla mål. / A correlated curriculum is a way to give the subject relevance in a wider context to strengthen the pupils’ education. The idea is that students' motivation will increase for their studies, as the goals to aim for. This study intends to find out vocational teachers perception of a correlated curriculum within the Industrial programme. The studies of opportunities and obstacles of a correlated curriculum are made through qualitative interviews with six vocational teachers within the Industrial programme. The study compares vocational teachers understanding of a correlated curriculum with the perceptions of core subject teachers of another study. The results show that vocational teachers perceive more opportunities than obstacles and have found ways to overcome barriers to integrated working substance. The possibilities are described as increasing motivation, accelerated learning and a holistic approach to knowledge. The obstacles are described as approach to knowledge, lack of communication and time. The solutions are described as taking the initiative, creating common time, clear and simple goals.

PERCEPTION INFLUENCED BY PHENOMENA: IDENTIFY CORE-SUBJECT TEACHER PERCEPTIONS OF CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATIONTucker, Sheri Lynn 01 June 2019 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to identify the perception influenced by phenomena impacting core-subject teacher perceptions of career technical education (CTE). Studies show that CTE is highly successful at preparing California’s students for college and career (Friedman, 2006). However, some educators see “CTE maintain less value in helping to encourage student success” (Shanklin, 2014, p. 3). The phenomenological study examined the perception influencing lived experiences with focus groups and one-on-one interviews. Core-subject teachers participated in these face-to-face interviews. Findings show that core-subject teachers are biased against CTE. Analysis of the survey results determined perception influenced by phenomena experienced by core-subject instructors included perfectionistic characteristics among parents, a society obsessed with outdoing the other person and very little evidence of educational reforms. The study asked questions to raise the teachers’ perceptions of the rigor and relevance in CTE, to identify support that teachers give students applying to CTE instead of college, and how do teachers support the integrated curriculum. Future results will see educational leaders and teachers improve the perception of CTE using new training. A policy change would allow English Language Learners exiting an English Language Development centered schedule on being eligible for CTE at any age. Essential to the future of CTE are (1) lengthening the school day to accommodate a more diversified schedule and (2) eliminating the requirement to stay in one industry sector for up to four years.

Managing the teaching of life orientation by principals at selected former model C secondary schools in the Nelson Mandela MetropoleOosthuizen, Willem Cronje 06 1900 (has links)
Life Orientation, a core subject of the South African secondary school curriculum since 1996, is still not taught successfully in the majority of secondary schools. This study was conducted in former Model C secondary schools in the Nelson Mandela Metropole in order to identify challenges and problems with regard to the management of the teaching of the subject. If the subject were managed properly by principals the Departmental outcomes would have been achieved and problems would not have existed.
In this study the managerial challenges of the teaching of Life Orientation have been identified by means of mixed method research, in terms of the four main management tasks, namely leading, planning, organising and controlling. The views of principals were obtained through a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The data was synthesised, multi-dimensional management problems were identified and recommendations were made with regard to managing the important subject of Life Orientation. / Educational Leadership and Management / M.
