INTEGRATION OF ACADEMIC AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION MYTHS AND REALITIES
by Bettina A. Lankard, 1994 ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult, Career, and Vocational Education
Center on Education and Training for Employment
1900 Kenny Road
Columbus, OH 43210-1090 Although most educators support the concept of integrating academic and vocational education and recognize the benefits it affords students, implementation of integrated curriculum and instruction is seen as problematical. Disciplinary specialization, status differences among teachers, and lack of leadership are some of the stumbling blocks noted by Grubb and Kraskouskas (1993). This MYTHS AND REALITIES highlights some of the "tales" that discourage integration and discusses the "truths" about what is involved in the implementation process. Myth: Successful Integration Relies Solely on Teacher Commitment and Cooperation
Myth: Integration Will Result in the Loss of Teaching Positions

Myth: Integration Results in the Majority Imposing Their Will on the Minority

MYTH: SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION RELIES SOLELY ON TEACHER COMMITMENT AND COOPERATION
Although teachers play a significant role in integrating academic and vocational education, they cannot effect significant change in the teaching and learning process without administrative, institutional, community, and state support. Traditionally, the academic curriculum and vocational curriculum have been offered in significantly different ways. To merge the two in an integrated approach to education requires new forms of organizational delivery. Integration involves restructuring, wherein the administrator becomes more of a facilitator than a director, providing teachers with opportunities that will empower them in their efforts. Some activities recommended to facilitate integration are the following (Finch et al. 1992):

Technical Vocational Training Program of DED in the Philippines
Since the incorporation of the German Development Service (DED) in 1963, technical vocational training programs (TVET) have constantly played a prominent role.
Worldwide, there are some 300 development workers involved in technical training, which is 27% of the overall number deployed. Here in the Philippines, DED supports projects which implement employment oriented training policies in close coordination with the local industry and the responsible government agency,
the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority
(TESDA).

The German development workers assist their Philippine counterpart workers and projects with:
  • Technical and pedagogical skills upgrading of the trainers Improvement of curricula and development of teach ware Supporting industry associations in technical and training related problems Building and strengthening the linkages to the local industry.
The partner organizations of DED vary from church related schools to training centers of industry associations and from government schools to training centers in special economic zones. These organizations conduct formal training courses as well as non-formal short term training courses. Geographically DED focuses its activities on areas, which have already reached a certain level of industrialization: Central and Southern Luzon

SELF-DIRECTEDNESS IN ADULT VOCATIONAL EDUCATION STUDENTS: ITS ROLE IN LEARNING AND IMPLICATIONS FOR INSTRUCTION
Thomas D. Fisher
Kent State University
Abstract SELF-DIRECTEDNESS IN ADULT VOCATIONAL EDUCATION STUDENTS: ITS ROLE IN LEARNING AND IMPLICATIONS FOR INSTRUCTION During the last several decades, data has begun to accumulate to substantiate a number of the characteristics of adult learners that sets them apart from traditional K-12 students and many undergraduate college students as well. As one might expect the attributes are varied, however, there seems to be a general consensus in the literature on at least two common characteristics that have an impact on learning efficacy and the overall classroom experience for this mature group of students: lifetime experiences and the self-directedness of the learner ( Cook, 1993

Vocational Education Teachers' Perceptions of Their Use of Assessment Methods
Howard R. D. Gordon
Marshall University
Abstract The purpose of this study was to describe West Virginia secondary vocational education teachers' use of student assessment information in making instructional decisions. A cluster sample of 240 teachers was needed for the study. A four-part questionnaire was designed to measure selected variables. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data. Teachers had an average of 15 years of teaching experience and nine years of related work experience. Attitudes toward assessment were viewed as "positive" by respondents. Secondary vocational education teachers neither agreed nor disagreed that they were constrained in their assessment activities. However, vocational education teachers must have opportunities during the school day to collaborate on the analysis of student work and to plan appropriate instructional improvements. The Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act of 1990 required accountability of all states that accept federal funds to support vocational programs. This was to be achieved through a system of specified performance measures and standards, which track both academic and occupational competency gains. Measures of performance were requested to address occupational competency attainment while measures of learning and competency gain were to reflect the achievement of basic and advanced academic skills. Goals 2000 and the School-to-Work Opportunities Act are two of the federal acts that emphasize high standards for all students while providing a framework and some financial incentives for public education to prepare all students for the world beyond school.

    Part-Time Instructors in Adult and Vocational Education. ERIC Digest.
    THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC Since the 1970s, part-time instructors have been increasingly in demand across the educational community. Between 1970 and 1988, the number of part-time community college faculty increased by 164 percent compared to a 37 percent increase for full-time faculty (Ostertag 1991). In the state of New York, "the part-time instructional faculty represents 50.5 percent of the state's higher education teaching staff" (Samuel 1989, p. 42). A national evaluation of adult education programs reports more than 80 percent of adult education instructors are part time (Development Associates 1992).
    ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF PART-TIME INSTRUCTORS
    Lower salaries, lack of health insurance and other benefits, and lack of negotiation power regarding raises and promotions are among the frustrating aspects of part-time employment. Many part-time instructors are also frustrated from lack of involvement in personnel and budget matters, curriculum development, and the formulation and implementation of policy, as well as from the lack of services available to themoffice space, clerical assistance, copying machines. Since they rarely come in contact with other educators, part-time instructors often feel a sense of isolation and sometimes even rejection (Smith 1990).

    International Higher Education, Fall 2000 Overreliance on Part-Time Faculty: An American Trend Ernst Benjamin
    Ernst Benjamin is associate general secretary and director of research of the American Association of University Professors in Washington, D.C. Address: 1012 14th St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20005.
    The proportion of faculty who teach part time on American campuses has nearly doubled in the last 30 years. In 1970, only 22 percent of faculty held part-time appointments; today, at least 42 percent teach part time-more than twice the proportion of part-time workers in the overall U.S. labor force. This shift is one of the most controversial trends in American higher education. Proponents of hiring part-time faculty assert that most are happy with their jobs and that institutions can reduce costs and better adjust to enrollment variations. Moreover, many part-time faculty are able instructors who focus more on teaching students than on conducting research. Critics say part-time faculty are underpaid and lack the medical insurance essential in the American system of health care. They note with concern that women, who hold just over one-third of full-time appointments, hold nearly half of part-time appointments. They argue that many part-time faculty are inadequately qualified, less productive, superficially evaluated, carelessly hired, and too easily reappointed. Finally, as part-time faculty displace full-time faculty, fewer full-time faculty are available to work with students outside class. The data show that both proponents and critics are right in some respects.

    DRAFT LANGUAGE FOR INCLUSION IN INTERAGENCY AGREEMENTS
    BETWEEN VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION AND HIGHER EDUCATION
    It is recommended that some form of these statements be included in the interagency agreement being drafted between the State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agency and the higher education community in your state. The specific language for inclusion is presented first. Following, these five statements are repeated with more detailed explanation of the importance of their inclusion in promoting dialogue regarding joint fiscal responsibility for services and in protecting the autonomy of institutions of higher education in pursuing their educational mission. Finally, an example of how the proposed language could be incorporated in a formal agreement is presented.
    SPECIFIC LANGUAGE FOR INCLUSION
    • Pursuant to requirements established in the 1998 Amendments to the Vocational Rehabilitation Act (as contained in the Workforce Investment Act of 1998), this interagency agreement shall be the mechanism used to formalize an agreement between the State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agency and institutions of higher education (IHE) regarding their responsibilities to individuals with disabilities who are jointly clients of the VR system and enrolled students in higher education.
    • The mission of Vocational Rehabilitation is to assist individuals with disabilities in successfully preparing for, obtaining and retaining employment. VR provides a variety of services pursuant to this mission. In contrast, the mission of higher education is to make available to all students (regardless of disability) the opportunity to acquire knowledge, skills, and/or expertise commensurate with their level of ability. Institutions of higher education provide accommodations to students with disabilities, as necessary, to assure their equal access to such opportunities.
