Abstract

The Transformation of Three Colleges to Institutes of Technology and Advanced Learning Gina Marie Antonacci University of Toronto, Canada This qualitative, exploratory study focuses on the transformation of three of Ontario’s public colleges as they became Institutes of Technology and Advanced Learning (ITALs) with the capacity to offer up to 15 percent of their programming as baccalaureate degrees. The data were gathered through interviews with past and present policy and institutional leaders, as well as current ITAL administrators and faculty. In addition, a document analysis provided insight into the manner in which the transformation was reflected through publications and documents. This study found that as the ITALs transformed incrementally, there was a shift in their institutional identities. As they began to offer degrees, in addition to their traditional credentials, the ITALs changed. They introduced new regulations, policies and processes, resulting in a change to the manner in which the institutions operated on a daily basis. As they transformed, the ITALs experienced challenges as the new rules, regulations and responsibilities of degree offering were introduced and layered on to their traditional program offerings. At the same time, the transformation provided meaningful opportunities for the ITALs as their mandate evolved. This study addresses the transformed mandate of the ITALs and contemplates the possibility of an alternate post-secondary system design in Ontario.

三所高等院校转型为技术高等教育学院

三所学院向技术和高等教育学院的转型吉娜·玛丽·安东纳奇加拿大多伦多大学这一定性的探索性研究主要关注安大略省三所公立学院向技术和高等教育学院(ITALs)的转型，这些学院有能力提供高达15%的课程作为学士学位。这些数据是通过采访过去和现在的政策和机构领导人，以及现任ITAL管理人员和教师收集的。此外，对文件的分析提供了通过出版物和文件反映这种转变的方式的见解。本研究发现，随着ital的渐进式转型，其机构身份也发生了变化。随着他们开始在传统的证书之外提供学位，ITALs也发生了变化。它们引入了新的规章、政策和程序，从而改变了各机构日常运作的方式。在转型的过程中，ITALs经历了挑战，因为新的规则、规定和学位提供的责任被引入并分层到他们的传统项目中。与此同时，随着ITALs任务的演变，这种转变为它们提供了有意义的机会。本研究解决了ITALs的转变任务，并考虑了安大略省另一种高等教育系统设计的可能性。联系Gina Marie Antonacci gina.antonacci@humber.ca学位和年份:博士，2020导师:教授Leesa Wheelahan，多伦多大学，加拿大职业教育与培训杂志2021，卷73,NO。4,609 https://doi.org/10.1080/13636820.2021.1995653©2021 The Vocational Aspect of Education Ltd

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
