Abstract

This mixed methods study investigated the effectiveness of work-based learning (WBL) experiences in secondary Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) programs, focusing on bridging the gap between secondary education and workforce readiness. Participants included secondary FCS teachers from public middle and high schools in Texas. The findings highlight WBL integration challenges due to varying levels of awareness, training, and industry partnerships among FCS educators. Enhancements in teacher training and stronger industry–education partnerships are recommended to improve the quality and diversity of WBL, aiming to better prepare students for dynamic workforce demands.

中学家庭与消费科学工作学习培训的有效性

这项混合方法研究调查了中学家庭与消费科学（FCS）课程中基于工作的学习（WBL）体验的有效性，重点是缩小中学教育与劳动力准备之间的差距。参与者包括得克萨斯州公立初中和高中的中级家庭与消费科学教师。研究结果突出表明，由于家庭与消费科学教育工作者的认识水平、培训水平和行业合作关系各不相同，WBL 整合面临挑战。建议加强师资培训和产教合作，以提高 WBL 的质量和多样性，从而使学生更好地为动态的劳动力需求做好准备。
