Practical logic : curriculum structures in an adult education programSt. Clair, William 05 1900 (has links)
This case study examines influences on the selection and delivery of
knowledge in the employment preparation provision of a trade union in British
Columbia. Bernstein's theories of curricular code and Bourdieu's perspectives on
social and cultural capital are used to analyse data collected by interviews,
observation, and documentary analysis. The emergent themes are organisational
structure, pedagogic practice, diversity and difference, and the good employee ideal,
with each of these demonstrating the tension between the philosophical orientation
of the organisation, as a representative of the labour movement, and the demands
of the funding and policy structures within which it operates. Analysis illustrates
the way curriculum is shaped by forces external to the immediate educational
setting, the most pervasive being the requirement to function as an effective means
of transferring cultural and social capital to unemployed people. The possibility of
using employment preparation as a mechanism to achieve progressive ends is
severely limited by the need to acknowledge the priorities of funders,
administrators, learners, and the neo-liberal backdrop against which the programs
operate. The study implies approaches to curriculum emphasising decisions taken
by instructors and learners mask wider structural influences on knowledge
formation, and more research on the sociology of knowledge in adult education is
called for.

Vocational curriculum report 191(NATED) as a curriculum: a case study of three Eastern Cape TVET CollegesSixabayi, Siyabonga Prince January 2016 (has links)
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.

An Analysis of Enrollment Patterns in Required General Education Courses and the Related Success, as Measured by Grade Point Average, of Technical-Occupational Students in a Multi-Campus Urban Community CollegeHines, Linda Kay, 1942- 12 1900 (has links)
This study investigated the following with regard to technical-occupational students in a multi-campus urban community college: The enrollment patterns in required general education courses at specific intervals of course work; the relation between successful completion of certain required general education courses (English and mathematics) and academic success as measured by grade point average; and the profiles or basic characteristics (age, GPA, sex, and high school graduation status) of (a) the student who had completed a specified amount of general education course work and (b) the graduate who had attained a higher grade point average in technical course work than in general education course work. The data was obtained from the academic records of 328 current student, selected by established criteria, and 284 graduates of six technical-occupational programs. The six programs were chosen by pairs to represent white-collar, technical-skilled, and blue-collar oriented occupations. Data on enrollment patterns were analyzed according to percentage in frequency distributions. Differences in mean grade point averages for completers and non-completers of English and mathematics were analyzed using the t-test. Significant variance among the groups representing types of occupations was analyzed using the chi-square test for independence. The Pearson Product Moment test was used to investigate correlations between grade point average and amount of general education work completed. Among the major findings were the following: over 57 per cent of the current students had completed general education requirements at a level proportional to their total program enrollments; current students tended to avoid enrollment in English more than in mathematics; current students who had completed mathematics had a higher mean GPA than those who had not completed mathematics; graduates who completed mathematics during the first half of the program had a higher mean GPA than those who completed mathematics later; a negative correlation was detected between GPA and the amount of general education course work completed; and more than 81 per cent of the graduates had a higher GPA in technical course work than in general education course work.

Commercial Job Opportunity Survey of McAllen, TexasJones, Willie W. 08 1900 (has links)
"The survey of commercial job opportunities in the City of McAllen, Texas, was undertaken for the purpose of determining: 1. The numerical importance of training for the different kinds of local commercial positions. 2. The desired age, sex, training, and experience for employees in the different commercial positions of the City. 3. Information to be used in the revision of the commercial curriculum of the McAllen Senior High School and in the vocational guidance of students, and in the placement of graduates. 4. The importance and kinds of office equipment in general use locally. 5. The means by which employers of the City of McAllen, Texas, obtain commercial employees. A local survey seemed desirable in order to understand the local situation and needs in regard to commercial courses offered in the high school, and to revise the commercial curriculum intelligently."--leaf 1.
