Data on 1076 students who enrolled in 2002 in degree programmes in a large polytechnic in the Auckland region were used for this study. A series of regression models were established, the findings suggest that the more papers students take in the first year the more likely they are to complete their Bachelor degree qualifications within three years. Demographic characteristics did not have significant effect on the likelihood for completion. Grade Point Average GPA in the second year was a significant predictor for retention through to the third year but not for the likelihood of completion in the third year. It was suggested that the high level of student engagement with the polytechnic is a possible reason for the high completion rate, particularly among groups of students who are traditionally under-represented in higher education. A significant proportion of tertiary students (30% in 2002) in New Zealand study at polytechnics or institutes of technology (Ministry of Education, 2002a). Hence, a good understanding of student pathways within the polytechnic sector is critical for any intervention aimed at improving educational outcomes within this sector. The current study focuses on students enrolled in degree programmes at a large polytechnic in 2002 and follows their pathways and achievements throughout a period of three years (to the end of 2004). The purpose of this study is to scope the nature and value of data held by a large New Zealand Polytechnic (henceforth: NZP) to assist in evaluating the effectiveness of student pathways and achievements of different groups of students within degree programmes at the NZP.  \u0000 \u0000   \u0000 \u0000   \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Undergraduate students, polytechnics, vocational training.","PeriodicalId":154366,"journal":{"name":"Vocational and Technical Education","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130180061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rapidly increasing flows of goods and services across national borders have been the most visible aspect of the increasing integration of the global economy in recent decades. There is a vast body of literature which shows that trade is good for economic growth which in turn is also good for poverty reduction. The economic theory suggests that trade liberalization may raise labour productivity in the developing economies but it also has differential impact on their wages and employment. Higher trade has mostly been associated with higher employment but lower wages. In this context the impact of trade liberalization on employment is of particular significance. The present study has examined the changes in the employment scenario of India following the pursuance of the trade liberalization strategy and the possible effects of further trade liberalization. \u0000 \u0000   \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Liberalization, globalization, wages, economy, employment, unemployment, recession.","PeriodicalId":154366,"journal":{"name":"Vocational and Technical Education","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121387145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The emergence of a new school subject. Innovation education in compulsory schools","authors":"S. Jónsdóttir","doi":"10.18999/bulitv.4.20","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18999/bulitv.4.20","url":null,"abstract":"Innovation Education and Practical Use of I{nowledge was introduced into the Icelandic National Curriculum for compulsory schools in 1999, where it is defined by the curriculum writers as a \"school subject\" but is not allocated any direct time in the recommended guidelines for subjects. This paper describes a master's research project from the University of Iceland, Faculty of Pedagogy and Education which focuses on how Innovation Education emerged in Iceland and how the subject has developed; what mal{es the sllbject special; and what factors; int~rnal and external, have influenced its dissemination. The paper will include an overview of the data collection and analysis methods and an overview of the findings. In Innovation Education it is assllmed that everyone can be creative and the emphasis is on enhancing creative activities of students through direct connection,s t~ everyday life. Educational innovations based on this Irind of approach have struggled against the strong underlying factors inherent in the institutional culture of education. There are several factors influencing the implementation of the Innovation E\"ducation curriculum in Iceland, and whether or not it is maintained. As identified by this research, these factors include the role of teachers and their professional philosophies; school culture; the role of the head teacher; assessment; emphasis on acad,emic learning; and access to information and teaching materials. Diverse research methods have been utilised during this re\"search. The blllir of data collection can be categorised as having used qualitative methods; statistical methods such as questionnaires were used to measure the dissemination of the subject. Interviews and ob'servations were used to gather data from students, teachers, head teachers, pioneers in Innovation Education, entrepreneurs and ministry officials. Documentation of various kinds was also consulted, including reports, laws, curriculum, teaching materials and products from Innovation Education lessons. The research indicates in conclusion that curriculum formulation and implementation is a complex inte11play of connected factors that are not completely predictable. It seems of more use to view changes within education systems as an organic rather than a linear progression, more comparable to biological evolution than to the production process of a factory. It is important to recognise the fundamental factors, inherent in the hidden curriculum, and verify their powers to influence the development of the subject. In this research an attempt is being made to understand and analyse how a new school subject is emerging. The subject researched here is Innovation Education (IE) which started emerging in Icelandic compulsory schools in the early 1990s and was formalized in the National Curriculum for Compulsory Schools in 1999 (A iJalnamslc1,a.
