These instructors have the industry experience and in-depth content knowledge that is critical in the vocational classroom, but they are missing an important piece of instruction: basic knowledge of pedagogical theory. It is clear that CTE schools must provide initial and ongoing training opportunities for instructors; however, it is difficult for these schools to identify what type of training is most appropriate (Cannon et al., 2011). Since few studies have been conducted to determine teacher in-service needs in CTE, finding training programs that fit the specific needs of CTE instructors is a significant challenge. However, this is a need that must be met because of the impact CTE can have on the economic vitality of our nation. The purpose of this research study was to uncover the thoughts and recommendations of CTE instructors and administrators at three post-secondary technical schools regarding pedagogical training for CTE faculty.","PeriodicalId":154366,"journal":{"name":"Vocational and Technical Education","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122522241","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}

Fifty small scale entrepreneurs in six regions of Ghana were purposively selected to demonstrate how to take body measurements and cut patterns for a lady’s fitting dress. Measurement and pattern cutting procedures used by the garment producers were found to be different from what were taught at the Universities. All the demonstrators marked the measurements on their fabrics and cut the garments direct without paper patterns (freehand cutting). Their allowances for seams, hems and openings were larger than those in instructions for teaching at the Universities. Reasons for the demonstrators’ use of freehand cutting method were that: cutting instructions were fewer and easier to commit into memory, making the process fast and the best option for the Ghanaian market’s increasing demand for new and fashionable custom-made garments; the pattern drafting method entailed a lot of work which attracted high charges their clients could not pay; drafted patterns did not produce fitting garments for many of their clients; freehand cutting was the most cost effective option; deep turnings for hems and seams were allowed in freehand cutting for future changes in design, figure and use. To the garment producers, making and keeping patterns of their clients for future use was not necessary, because girth measurement changes of Ghanaian women were very frequent. To bridge the gap between skill training in pattern cutting in the University and industrial practice, it is recommended that the University should involve entrepreneurs in the Garment Industry in their curriculum development and skill training. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Drafting, freehand cutting, small scale garment producers, pattern cutting.","PeriodicalId":154366,"journal":{"name":"Vocational and Technical Education","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116932980","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}

Quality of work life is a process by which interest groups in the organization will learn how to work better together, how to determine for themselves what activities, changes and improvements are desirable and effective to the organization to be more efficient; as teachers at technical schools have different integration in the organization, work life and social dependence, overall living space from the other theoretical schools, thus, leading to different development of human capability and growth opportunities. Sample consisted of 410 high school teachers selected by cluster sampling. The questionnaire of quality of work Life (QWL) was used. The reliability of the instrument was calculated to be 0.98 by Cronbach alpha. The data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that (a) the quality of work Life among technical and theoretical high school teachers in Kordestan was average; and (b) there was no meaningful relationship between high school type (technical and theoretical) and quality of work life. There were no differences in types of high schools ' QWL and all technical and theoretical high schools in Kordestan province have the same quality of work life. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Quality of work life, organization health, high school teachers, technical schools, theoretical schools.","PeriodicalId":154366,"journal":{"name":"Vocational and Technical Education","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132745840","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}

There is need for corresponding changes in the educational sector. It is the responsibility of the teachers training institutions to produce teaching manpower in accordance with the changes in the society. This paper examined the extent to which business teacher education programmes in Nigeria are ICT compliant. A 20-item questionnaire was administered to 45 business lecturers from the University of Calabar, Cross River University of Technology (CRUTECH) and College of Education, Akamkpa, Cross River State. Three research questions were formulated based on the specific purposes and tested using weighted mean. Findings revealed among others, that pre-service business teacher production programmes in Cross River State are not ICT compliant. It was recommended, among others, that ICT tasks should be integrated into business teacher education curriculum in Nigeria to enhance business teacher quality in the information age. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Teacher quality, information age, pre-service, business teacher production, communication technology.","PeriodicalId":154366,"journal":{"name":"Vocational and Technical Education","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114656519","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}
