Alternative Development Strategies For Rural Communities: Views From The Great Plains, John C. Allen, Rebecca Filkins, Sam Cordes

Publications from the Center for Applied Rural Innovation (CARI)

In the past, rural economic development policies have traditionally taken one of two forms: direct aid (various forms of financial incentives granted to individual firms) or the provision of infrastructure, such as buildings or roads. However, some argue that these policies have become less efficient and that new alternatives should be considered. These new alternatives include indirect aid to businesses (improved access to capital and business services) as well as active labor market policies (which seek to help match demand and supply in the labor markets). Which policies would be most successful in promoting economic development in rural areas? This …

The Impact Of Globalisation And The Changing Nature Of Work On Vocational Education And Training, Chris Robinson Aug 2000

The Impact Of Globalisation And The Changing Nature Of Work On Vocational Education And Training, Chris Robinson

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 …


Quantitative Evaluation Of The Educational Programmes On Students’ Awareness Of Social Responsibility, Loky Tsui, Sau-Wan, Teresa Lee Wong Aug 2000

Quantitative Evaluation Of The Educational Programmes On Students’ Awareness Of Social Responsibility, Loky Tsui, Sau-Wan, Teresa Lee Wong

International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference

As discrimination and hazardous working conditions have been constituting social costs in the Hong Kong economy, legislative progress in enforcing equal opportunity, safety and health at work becomes obvious with the enactment of discrimination ordinances and the Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance in 1997. Educational programmes were being conducted for students to realise such social responsibility soon after they graduate. The evaluation of the educational programmes is based on the empirical data collected after the delivery of educational packages.


Mobility, Flexibility And Accessibility Of Postsecondary Education In Hong Kong, Shui-Kin Chan Aug 2000

Mobility, Flexibility And Accessibility Of Postsecondary Education In Hong Kong, Shui-Kin Chan

International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference

In its recent consultative document, the Education Commission recommended that, through portable and transferable credits, learners’ achievements attained through different channels are recognized. However, this paper argues that: · Increasing participation should not be viewed as equivalent to widening participation. · The distinction between continuing education and higher education becomes blurred. The paper concludes that the policy on lifelong learning seems to have been shaped by two factors economic and social equity. The development of these policies is part of a wider process of change – change in the higher education system, funding mechanisms, and university curricula.


Workplace Learning As An Investment In Human Capital, Johanna Lasonen, Reijo Parikka Aug 2000

Workplace Learning As An Investment In Human Capital, Johanna Lasonen, Reijo Parikka

International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference

The paper considers, on the basis of the theory of human capital, in what sense the various agents involved in work-based learning perceive the on-the-job learning period in vocational upper secondary education as an investment-like activity driven by expectations of longterm benefits held by individuals, enterprises and society. The focus of the paper is an empirical survey of Finnish students, teachers, company managers and workplace trainers participated in a work-based learning pilot project. Students believe that their stay in working life improves their employment prospects, enterprises do not incur any additional costs, and workplace trainers and teachers are coping with …


Telling Stories In The Use Of Portfolio Assessment In Higher Education: Some Implementation Issues, Annie Y.W Nicholson, Sharon Bryant, Judy W.F. Ng Aug 2000

Telling Stories In The Use Of Portfolio Assessment In Higher Education: Some Implementation Issues, Annie Y.W Nicholson, Sharon Bryant, Judy W.F. Ng

International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference

Evidence has shown that the results of traditional standardized tests characterized by pencil and paper formats, multiple-choice responses and time-restricted completion are not sufficient in telling how pupils engage in the learning process and their progress in learning. In addition, these tests tend to emphasize on the assessment of basic skills but fail to measure higher level thinking and problem solving skills. This inadequacy can be addressed by incorporating authentic assessment approaches such as performance tasks, portfolios, and grading for team effort. This paper aims to tell stories from an action learning research group whose members have used ‘portfolio’ as …

Part of this process includes an intensive program of block by block student evaluations. These evaluations and the student responses to the Faculty-wide First Year Experience Questionnaire are analysed. The …
