Abstract

ABSTRACT The capability approach provides a broader view of Vocational and Technical Education (VTE), acknowledging its multiple purposes, including citizenship preparation for discussing and challenging the rules and practices prevailing in society. Based on ethnographic data, this paper seeks to understand how two Chilean high schools conceptualise their students and VTE, concerning their students’ marginalisation, linking this to citizenship education. Each school presented a different awareness of students’ marginality situation, and it was possible to observe how this meant different actions associated with citizenship education. Findings show that in the school with greater awareness of students’ marginality, VTE takes elements from the capability approach and provides active citizenship training, while at the school with lower awareness of marginality, students are trained in more passive citizenship. The importance of citizenship education for VTE, the significance of the capability approach to transforming this education, and its potential impact on public policies and the construction of society are discussed.

中等职业技术教育中的边缘化和公民教育。能力方法的愿景

摘要能力方法为职业技术教育（VTE）提供了更广泛的视角，承认其多重目的，包括为讨论和挑战社会中普遍存在的规则和做法做好公民准备。基于人种学数据，本文试图了解智利两所高中是如何将学生和VTE概念化的，涉及学生的边缘化，并将其与公民教育联系起来。每所学校对学生的边缘化状况都有不同的认识，可以观察到这意味着与公民教育相关的不同行动。研究结果表明，在对学生边缘性意识更强的学校，职业教育从能力方法中汲取元素，提供积极的公民身份培训，而在边缘性意识较低的学校，学生接受的公民身份训练更为被动。讨论了公民教育对职业教育的重要性，能力方法对转变公民教育的意义，以及公民教育对公共政策和社会建设的潜在影响。

期刊介绍： Journal of Human Development and Capabilities: A Multi-Disciplinary Journal for People-Centered Development is the peer-reviewed journal of the Human Development and Capabilities Association. It was launched in January 2000 to promote new perspectives on challenges of human development, capability expansion, poverty eradication, social justice and human rights. The Journal aims to stimulate innovative development thinking that is based on the premise that development is fundamentally about improving the well-being and agency of people, by expanding the choices and opportunities they have. Accordingly, the Journal recognizes that development is about more than just economic growth and development policy is more than just economic policy: it cuts across economic, social, political and environmental issues. The Journal publishes original work in philosophy, economics, and other social sciences that expand concepts, measurement tools and policy alternatives for human development. It provides a forum for an open exchange of ideas among a broad spectrum of academics, policy makers and development practitioners who are interested in confronting the challenges of human development at global, national and local levels.
