Vocational Education, Indigenous Students and the Choice of Pathways. Research Report
Author: Bandias, Susan
Date: 2013-00-00

This report looks at the pathways Indigenous students in the Northern Territory take between VET and higher education. The study explores the perspectives of students studying at higher-level VET and higher education qualifications, and aims to gain an understanding of the pathways adopted by Indigenous students, as well as their motivations to study, and their experiences while studying. The report finds that 17% of Indigenous admissions to higher education at Charles Darwin University are based on previous VET qualifications. However, this pathway is available to relatively few students because of the low number of Indigenous graduates at the certificate IV, diploma and advanced diploma level. Overall, the students were happy with the quality of their courses, and those students who made the transition from VET to higher education felt their VET study was relevant to their higher education study. However, some students were unprepared for the more academic environment of higher education and the emphasis on online learning. Demographic information is appended.

Author: Cocks, Errol
Date: 2013-00-00
Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: Disabilities,Trainees,Apprenticeships,Barriers,Influences,Academic Support Services,Resources,Foreign Countries,Courses,Academic Achievement,Motivation,Vocational Education,Longitudinal Studies,Adult Education,Technical Education,Wages,Time Factors (Learning),Family Problems,Comparative Analysis

Apprenticeships and traineeships are useful pathways for people with a disability to obtain a qualification and gain employment. Based on a three-year program of research, this report explores the barriers and facilitators of course completion reported by students with a disability who have completed an apprenticeship or traineeship. Formal and informal support was the greatest facilitator to completion, and lack of resources the major barrier. This included poor training wages, equipment costs and a lack of time, often due to family commitments. Appended are: (1) Subthemes in the barriers to course completion; and (2) Subthemes in the facilitators to course completion. (Contains 11 tables and 4 footnotes.)

Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: Indigenous Populations,Vocational Education,Cultural Maintenance,Educational Attainment,Cultural Differences,Foreign Countries,Access to Education,Participation,Cultural Influences,Educational Indicators,Social Indicators,Performance Factors,Factor Analysis,Outcomes of Education,Income

This study provides new evidence on the inter-relationships between Indigenous Australians' association with their traditional culture and their engagement with vocational education and training. It builds on previous work to develop a &quot;richer&quot; measure of the concept of cultural attachment. This report discusses the links between cultural identity and current participation in education, and the benefits Indigenous Australians derive from education and training. Appendix tables are included. (Contains 16 tables, 1 figure and 1 footnote.)

The Impact of Schools on Young People's Transition to University. Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth. Research Report 61
Author: Gemici, Sinan
Date: 2013-00-00
Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: Academic Achievement,Factor Analysis,Individual Characteristics,Youth,Foreign Countries,Non English Speaking,Academic Persistence,Longitudinal Studies,Institutional Characteristics,College Bound Students,Higher Education,Socioeconomic Background,Success,Tables (Data),Student Attitudes,Models,Transitional Programs

This report uses Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) data to look at the impact of schools on a student's tertiary entrance rank (TER) and the probability of them going to university (controlling for TER). It shows that the characteristics of schools do matter: although young people's individual characteristics are the main drivers of success, school attributes are also responsible for almost 20% of the variation in TER scores. The three most important school attributes for TER include sector (Catholic and independent/ government); gender mix (single sex/co-educational) and the extent to which a school is &quot;academic&quot;. The socioeconomic status of schools didn't emerge as a significant influence on TER. For the probability of going to university, after controlling for TER, the most significant school characteristics include the proportion on non-English speaking background students; the sector; and the socioeconomic make-up of the student body. Appended are: (1) Descriptive statistics; (2) Student-level measures; (3) Factor analysis for SES measure; (4) Factor analysis for perceptions of schooling measure; (5) Technical details on multi-level modelling; (6) Results from multi-level modelling; and (7) Information on the Logistic scale.

Efficiency and Preparation of Rural School Teachers. Bulletin, 1914, No. 49. Whole Number 623
Author: Foght, Harold W.
Date: 1915-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Teacher Education,Agricultural Colleges,Elementary School Teachers,Secondary School Teachers,Rural Schools,Teacher Supervision,School Districts,Efficiency,Teacher Salaries,Teacher Characteristics,Instructional Leadership,Teacher Effectiveness

Many factors enter into the problem of remaking the rural schools, such as well-prepared teachers, satisfactory unit of organization, close and intelligent supervision, and redirected course of study. Of these, none is more important than the first. It is certain that the trained leadership needed in rural districts can not be fully realized until a staff of teachers, professionally trained, imbued with correct vision and real power, establish themselves in the rural districts as permanent teachers and community builders. Satisfactory data have long been lacking on which to base a campaign for better-prepared teachers. This bulletin presents a study that aims to lend assistance in this direction. First, it seeks to ascertain the preparation and efficiency of the staff of rural teachers now at work in the schools; and, second, it aims to summarize and put into available form what the normal schools, agricultural colleges, and other schools are doing for rural teacher training. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 4 tables and 13 diagrams.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

Cooking in the Vocational School as Training for Home Making. Bulletin, 1915, No. 1. Whole Number 625
Author: O'Leary, Iris Prouty
Date: 1915-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Females,Evening Programs,Vocational Schools,Cooking Instruction,Home Economics,Vocational Education,Industrial Education,Occupations,Teaching Methods,Outcomes of Education,Part Time Students,Equipment,Food,Lunch Programs,Home Programs

This bulletin deals with the teaching of cooking for home-making purposes in the day and evening classes of the vocational school. Throughout the bulletin "vocational school" will be used as a term which includes both industrial schools and household-arts schools. Vocational schools include all agricultural, industrial, commercial, and household-arts schools the controlling purpose of which is to fit for useful occupations, and which deal with pupils above 14 years of age and below college grade. This discussion recognizes that vocational schools for girls are of two types: (1) The industrial school, designed to meet the needs of the manual wageworker in the trades and industries and in the household; and (2) The household arts school, which fits for nonwage-earning occupations connected with the household. In certain communities there are found schools attempting to give both kinds of instruction under one roof and within one organization. While the industrial school is mainly concerned with training girls to become wage earners in industry, it also gives its pupils more or less instruction in cooking for home making. In the school of household arts, cooking is a most important factor in the training for home making. It is the purpose of this bulletin to discuss the conditions which underlie the necessity for instruction in cooking, to define the aim of such instruction, and to offer suggestions that may be of service toward the final solution of the problem. Contents include: (1) Home making as a vocation for girls; (2) Regular school methods and "trade" training in cooking; (3) Markets for the product; (4) Part-time classes for housekeepers; (5) Taking instruction to the pupil; and (6) The kitchen and its equipment. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 4 figures.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

The Health of School Children: Contributions from American Medical Journals, July, 1913, to July, 1914. Bulletin, 1915, No. 4. Whole Number 628
Author: Heck, W. H., Comp.
Date: 1915-00-00
Type: Collected Works - General
Subjects: Hygiene,Periodicals,Child Health,Young Children,Rural Schools,Diseases,Age Differences,Communicable Diseases,Immunization Programs,Symptoms (Individual Disorders),Heart Disorders,Physical Disabilities,Special Needs Students,Social Services,Human Body,Prevention,Blindness,Dental Health,Deafness,Auditory Perception,Mental Health,Psychological Patterns,Speech Impairments,Stuttering,Etiology,Speech Language Pathology,Epilepsy,Delinquency,Crime,Sex Education,Alcohol Abuse,First Aid,Athletics,Play,Sleep,Child Development,Athletes,College Athletics,Eating Habits,Pollution,Sanitation

Medical journals are not often accessible to students and practitioners of education, and therefore the wealth of material in these journals regarding the health of school children is mainly lost to the educational world. The present bulletin is the result of a desire to put this material at the disposal of superintendents, principals, professors, students in normal schools and colleges, and even medical inspectors who may not have access to all the journals here represented. This bulletin contains the summaries of the best articles on the subject of children's health. The purpose has been to select, from the many articles studied, paragraphs of those articles only that add to the literature of school hygiene new data, new points of view, or noteworthy statements of current opinion. Some of the selections are not strictly within the limits of school hygiene, but are suggestive for the general health propaganda of the schools. The number of articles selected on the different subjects corresponds fairly to the proportion of varied and useful material available, some phases of school hygiene having been discussed little or not at all in the medical journals. No articles were chosen if they were known to have appeared also in educational journals, State health bulletins, or reports of two recent international congresses (Hygiene and Demography, Washington, 1912, and School Hygiene, Buffalo, 1913), as this material is widely accessible to students of education. Individual sections contain footnotes. An index is included. [Best copy available has been provided.]
Rural and Agricultural Education at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Bulletin, 1916, No. 2
Author: Foght, H. W.
Date: 1917-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Agricultural Education,United States History,State Colleges,Private Agencies,Rural Areas,Rural Education,Foreign Countries,Exhibits,Educational Improvement,War,Federal Government,State Departments of Education,Public Agencies,Agricultural Occupations,African Americans,Vocational Education,Public Health,Urban Areas,Home Economics,Sanitation,Elementary Secondary Education,Water,Geographic Location,School Buildings,Extension Education,Plants (Botany),One Teacher Schools,Governance

This bulletin was prepared to indicate recent progress in rural life and education as disclosed by the educational exhibits at the Panama-Pacific Exposition of 1915. The discussion includes (1) the general phases of progress in rural education, and (2) advancement in its more specific agricultural phases. Little attempt has been made to present the subject in a systematic way, either by kinds of schools or by school subjects, as the comparatively small number of organized State educational exhibits made such an arrangement impractical. In addition, the number of educational exhibits from foreign nations was limited due to the war or for other reasons. Contents include: (1) United States Government; (2) State educational exhibits; (3) Rural education in the territories and insular possessions; and (4) Public and private agencies. Bulletin 1916, No. 1, deals in a more general way with all the educational exhibits at the exposition. (Contains 82 figures and 3 footnotes.) [For Bulletin No. 1, see ED541765.

Higher Education Biennial Survey, 1924-1926. Bulletin, 1927, No. 34
Author: Klein, Arthur J.
Date: 1927-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Higher Education,Teaching Methods,Community Characteristics,Educational Objectives,National Surveys,Costs,Social Action,Scientific Research,Educational Research,Instructional Improvement,Well Being,College Students,Educational Change,Economic Climate,Research Methodology,Student Characteristics,Educational Philosophy

This survey of higher education during the two years is an attempt to present briefly some of the events of action and of discussion which have promoted or obstructed the tendencies to restate higher educational objectives and to reconstitute college and university organization and procedures. Topics covered include: (1) Objectives of higher education; (2) Large attendance; (3) Costs of higher education; (4) Public pressure through political action; (5) Cultural versus vocational; (6) Education as a life process; (7) Application of scientific methods to study of higher education; (8) Better educational service to the individual; (9) Student relations and welfare; (10) Improvement of teaching; (11) Interest in student quality; and (12) Intensification of the educational process. The review, covering the biennium 1924-26, shows that higher education in the United States is in a state of flux. The imperative necessity for higher education to readjust itself to the social and economic structure of the Nation is receiving attention, but scientific study and research, now so generally given to details of methods and procedures in higher institutions, are little used in defining the larger objectives and relationships of institutional service. In general, higher education is receptive to changes in method, in content, and in procedure, but little evidence exists of the development of general educational philosophies to which specific problems may be related.
