Purposive sampling was used to select 25 supervisors each from Gombe and Bauchi states and, totalling 50 respondents. The instrument was a structured questionnaire which was validated and pilot tested to obtain its reliability coefficient (Cronbach's Alpha) of 0.98. Data collected were analyzed using AMOS 18 statistical packages for windows. Findings of this study revealed that the supervisors have perceived the employability skills needed bygraduates for teaching agricultural science in secondary schools as important and thegraduates are competent. It is recommended that all the employability skills be retained or included in the university agriculture education curriculum.

Industrial training program was known as the dual system program curriculum in vocational high schools. It was implemented for three to six months. This study examined the difference and relationship between job involvements towards job satisfactions in industrial training activities which were implemented for vocational school students. Data were collected from 300 vocational high school students using questionnaire. The selection of respondents was based on simple randomized sampling methods. The results of questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive analysis, one way ANOVA, and Person Correlation analysis with 99% level of reliability. Results showed that the level of students’ job involvements and job satisfactions were high. The study showed that there was no difference between students’ job involvements and job satisfactions with respect to the three groups, three months, four months and six months.

The leadership styles profile (LSP) and emotional intelligence questionnaire were used as research instruments. Data analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, Independent t test and One Way ANOVA. Results showed: (1) There was significant relationship between EI and two styles of leadership; (2) The relationship between self-awareness and leadership styles were not statistically significant; (3) There was positive statistically significant relationship between self-regulation and open style; (4) There was direct significant relationship between motivation and open style but indirect significant relationship with motivation and closed style; (5) There was positive statistically significant relationship between empathy and open style but negative relationship between empathy and closed style .

These learners do not qualify for employment because employers prefer well-trained experienced employees. A limited number (12 500 annually) of learnership and apprenticeship opportunities are also out of reach because they have to compete with better-qualified candidates. High unemployment rates (25.3%) and very high youth unemployment (48%) signifies their bleak prospects. The poor success rate of these learners, attempting further education at FET colleges, implies inappropriateness of the existing curricula at these colleges to address their educational needs. Their educational foundation, primarily based on language, mathematics and science proficiency, is insufficient for progress in mainstream further education at schools or Further Education and Training colleges. The aim of this study is therefore to investigate the educational situation and propose a curriculum for a specific field, which can serve as an example for further research and establishment of appropriate curricula over the spectrum of learner aptitudes and interests. For this purpose, the field of engineering was selected to reduce the research to manageable size, uniform characteristics and a specific curriculum focus. Addressing their quest for skills and qualifications can be met with transdisciplinary practicum-based education obviating the linguistic-logic-mathematical predilection of mainstream education. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Educational foundation, constructivism, knowledge integration, transdisciplinary, practicum-based, differentiated development.","PeriodicalId":154366,"journal":{"name":"Vocational and Technical Education","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122782442","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}

Terms and concepts were not enough defined and research on Design and Craft education was wanting. The participants’ attitudes to Design and Craft were positive and the Design and Craft was popular amongst students. Nevertheless, findings showed a little understanding of the dissimilarity between basic concepts such as Art, Design and Craft. Every of the interviewees thought Design and Craft were significant subjects for individualized education and wanted to give them a more prominent role in general education. Design and Craft in the Icelandic National Curriculum has not been fully realised. The research acknowledged that schools have not allocated additional hours for the subjects, yet though local authorities were helpful and flexibility existed in the time timetable.

The article acknowledges that the debate about conceptualization, particularly concerning the equivalence in English of what in Germanic and Latin languages is termed ‘didactics’, is well documented in the research literature (e.g. Wetsbury, Hoppmann & Riquarts, 2000). There is a claim in this article concerning the need to transcend the language discussion; it argues that there is indeed a need, particularly relevant for VET, to develop a close linkage between what some authors (e.g. Wenerstam & Hansen, 2006) consider “an empirically based” side of didactics associated to empirical findings and the “non-empirical” associated theoretical constructs for understanding the teaching-learning process. The article intends to critically revisit a number of influential didactical works both from German, Nordic and Anglo-Saxon contexts in search to contribute to the development of didactics for specific intricate subject of vocational education and training. The article does not intend to propose alternative solutions but suggest lines of development, encourage discussions and the further research that is required.","PeriodicalId":154366,"journal":{"name":"Vocational and Technical Education","volume":"605 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123246911","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}

Germany and Bangladesh were considered as study area of the paper. Although both countries are initiating conservation policies to mitigate the problems, the degree of sustainability varies from one country to the other. Among the policies, at least the incentive-based policy of agri-environmental schemes are successful and sustainable in Brandenburg even after the termination of the program. These schemes help raise farmers’ awareness of soil degradation problems through information distribution and learning processes. Apparently, lack of awareness of the problem among farmers is the first barrier to policy implementation. Obligatory policies such as the Nitrate Directive of Germany and the Fertiliser Regulation Guide of Bangladesh seem promising in achieving greater impacts. However these impacts can be achieved only when the policies are backed with effective and efficient governance structures that can be able to implement, monitor and evaluate the progress as well as sanction defaulters. Combinations of voluntary and obligatory policies across different sectors are necessary for desire result.","PeriodicalId":154366,"journal":{"name":"Vocational and Technical Education","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122555330","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}
