Potential Use Of On-Board Radar For Bird Detection And Avoidance, Pete Stephan Aug 2000

Potential Use Of On-Board Radar For Bird Detection And Avoidance, Pete Stephan

Bird Strike Committee-USA/Canada Joint Annual Meeting: 2nd (2000)

An approach to the reduction of military bird strike costs is proposed. Financial return-on-investment would be maximized by focusing on the most expensive bird strikes without requiring new investment in hardware. Most of the dollar cost of military bird strikes results from strikes in the military-unique high-speed/low-altitude flight regime over remote areas. Avoiding these birds motivates a short time from detection of the bird until the pilot avoidance response because single raptors are now causing a large fraction of the losses. Ground-based sensors with communications links to pilots would be expensive because of the geographic extent of the ranges where …

Stress Management For Teachers In Vocational Education And Training Sector, Gloria, Ching Wah Chan Aug 2000

Stress Management For Teachers In Vocational Education And Training Sector, Gloria, Ching Wah Chan

International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference

Much of the stress of teaching is related to problem behaviour in the classrooms. The most effective way of managing behavioural problems is to prevent them from arising, and to minimize their occurrence. The focus is the teacher's ability and willingness to create a successful learning situation appropriate to the student's needs. Essentially, stress can be a challenging, exciting stimulus to personal growth, whilst excessive stress can prove damaging to psychological and physical health because it often triggers emotional and physical strain that may be harmful. So, people are motivated to cope with stress. However, the reactions to stress and …

The Competency Of Cross-Culture Of Expatriates In The Multinational Corporation, Shu-Hsiao Tsen

International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference

Confronting the tendency of globalization, the human resource development of expatriation and the foreign workers in multinational firms act an important role for a global business strategy.

The growth of corporate learning accelerated by developments in ICT is making a major contribution to this evolutionary process and is posing various problems for traditional educational institutions.

In Search Of A Governance Framework Of Vocational Education And Training For The 21st Century: An International Comparative Study, Humphry Hung

International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference

This paper focuses on the governance framework in relation to the decision-making process which designs, moulds and formulates the policy on vocational education and training (VET) to meet the needs of various industrial and commercial sectors in Hong Kong. There has been a long history of an apparently close relationship among government, businessmen and academics who form a tripartite alliance in making decisions on VET within the framework of the government’s co-optation strategies. Such a triple alliance may be regarded as a necessary and desirable outcome of the political system and environment in Hong Kong. It may also be a …

International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference

The world is changing fast these days. Globalisation of economies and rapid technological change critically affects all countries. The education and training systems in all countries have had difficulties in keeping up with the pace of change, yet it is vital that they do so. Some of the key technical skills we will need in 20 years time do not yet exist. This poses tremendous problems and challenges for the provision of education and training (VET). Several new research studies released by the Australian National Centre for Vocational Education Research have examined the implications of the globalisation and the changing …

Integration Of General Education Into The Vocational Training Curriculum, Kwok Hung Lai Aug 2000

Integration Of General Education Into The Vocational Training Curriculum, Kwok Hung Lai

International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference

As our economy is moving towards knowledge-based post-industrial era, graduates need to re-equip themselves to meet with rapidly changing expectations of employers and society. Vocational education institutions also need to provide a seamless learning experience to students and enhance their lifelong learning abilities. General education should form an integral part of the total education experience, instead of ad hoc extra-curricular activity. It should be well integrated into the existing vocational training curriculum. This paper discusses the arguments for such grounds and suggests how this can be implemented.

Integrating The Strengths Of The Web-Based And Traditional Models Of Teaching, T.Y. Leung, Sarah Y.S. Tran Aug 2000

Integrating The Strengths Of The Web-Based And Traditional Models Of Teaching, T.Y. Leung, Sarah Y.S. Tran

International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference

The Internet has revolutionized the way we communicate and created new paradigms for innovation in education. This paper discusses the pedagogical issues conforming to constructivism that educators may consider in the delivery of instruction in post-secondary vocational education. The roles of both the students and teachers must be redefined in the new paradigm. An intellectually exciting learning experience can happen in a classroom, a laboratory or the cyberspace. The art of combining the strengths of classroom face-to-face teaching and Web-based self-directed instruction will be a challenge to educators. In addition to management support and a fair reward system as drivers …

A Flexible Investment: The Australian Vet Sector’S Framework For Applying New Technologies In Learning, Sandra Lerch, Peter Le Cornu

In 1999, the Australian VET sector developed a five-year strategic plan, Flexible Learning for the Information Economy: A Framework for National Collaboration in Vocational Education and Training 2000-2004. Known commonly as the Collaborative Framework, the plan is a fluid platform upon which the Australian VET sector can strategically plan for the use and expansion of learning technologies in training and industry. This paper will explore the Collaborative Framework not only as an integrated policy response to the emergence of new learning technologies, but also as a model of collaboration between governments and a bold experiment in cultural change within the …
