Recommended: Purpose in education

I. MODULE 1 & 2:

Importantly, we discover in this module many reasons as a teacher we need to focus on the purpose for technical education's federal legislation prior to 1960. These reasons are deeply unveiled in comparing the purposes of the historical and present federal legislation regarding society, economics, and technological innovations. Accordingly, federal Workforce Legislation such as the Smith-Hughes Act, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and the Perkins Act are just a few that have impacted our society and its workforce. Certainly, the Carl D. Perkins Act is the most current important piece of legislation for vocational/CTE programs that has influenced my training. For instance, the Perkins Act provides funds that improve the academic performance of students, especially special population students, who are enrolled in career and technical education programs. Indeed, institutions use these Federal funds to improve career and technical education programs designed to prepare persons to work in a technologically advanced society.

II. MODULE 3:

Understanding the role of philosophy in Career and Technical Education (formally known as vocational education) was very startling. Hence, we began to understand the importance of being able to categorize different programs into philosophical principles. Note that my philosophy will change as my mature in the profession and gain additional experiences. It is often used by administrators to judge whether the applicant is the "kind of person that I would want in my school or teaching my children. Adult Ed Behaviorist is the type of philosophy that I like the best. Throughout this philosophy, I understand that learner takes an active role in learning, pra...

V. REFLECTION SUMMARY:

To my reflection summary, I would see learning as a process that creates a perfect relationship between a mentor and a protégé. I found out that teaching, mentoring, and tutoring constitutes an inseparable set of sharing knowledge. I do feel more and more comfortable at using the same web-based approach of this course for adult learners in a business classroom. I would definitely recommend in addition to the newsletter, a research paper that can be published for the benefit of most other instructors. Accordingly, module 5 is very tempting in allowing us to propose a new principle for our classroom setting. By that, this part where I can be creative is what I like the best. In the other hand, module 1 where I have to know mostly information about the vocational education such Carl D. Perkins might be the least to like.

    The movie, unlike the book, starts in chronological order. The book starts from Susie’s death and then flashbacks to what happened before.

  • How Can CTE Benefit Disabled Students and What Best That Role?

    2422 Words  | 5 Pages

    The university-statehouse-industrial complex has grown such that the traditional models of primary and secondary education have survived two or three decades beyond their practical use. With a public school system that segregates and discriminates based on, “college material or not?” (Brolin & Loyd, 1989) and a university system that places only one in five graduates in work in their field of major (cite), our educational system has passed its prime and is still training and educating for 20th century job markets that no longer exist. The way that we educate and what we educate for and why needs rethinking from the top down and needs to be more practical and pragmatic. Career and technical education (CTE) consisting of specialized, targeted, and focused vocational programs at all levels do more than just prepare a student for a real job – these programs have practical education and socialization value that conventional classrooms centered around a teacher’s monologue for many do not. Nowhere is the added value of such targeted programs more useful and valuable than in special classes, courses, and CTE training aimed at students with disabilities.

  • Career And Technical Education Program

    1379 Words  | 3 Pages

    Career and technical education courses are intended to prepare high school students to enter the work force in a skilled trade. It equips the students with the experience and education necessary to succeed in an average skill level job while maintaining the student’s interest. In an article that focuses on an aviation CTE program, a “senior policy analyst at the Morrison Institute, said that Career and Technical Education provides another opportunity for students who struggle in high school.” The assumption is that students who struggle in high school presumably do not want another four years of education to attain a bachelor’s degree. Until recently, schools have been excessively geared towards college readiness. The dogma was elementary school, high school, college, without exception. With this “one size fits all” education system in place, a different education course had to evolve. CTE courses offer a break from the tedious grind by introducing career readiness as an alternative. In place of the four years in a college, CTE programs gives student...

  • Colleges Are Moving Away From Liberal Arts

    666 Words  | 2 Pages

    Imagine a cardiovascular surgeon about to crack the sternum of a dying patient; tension is high while the clock of life ticks desperately slower and softer for the poor soul on the cold steel table that saw death the hour before. Is it logical that at that moment the purveyor of life is contemplating whether his freshmen philosophy class back at SMU has thoroughly prepared him for what he is about to do? Not likely. In higher learning institutions, liberal art classes like philosophy are not meant to be directly applied to one’s life or career; however, they are structured and devised to be a strong base that the individual can expand upon through scientific learning and experience. This is precisely the reason colleges and universities require and place much emphasis on these classes; nevertheless, there has been a shift away from the liberal arts towards the direction of highly specialized areas of science and business because of their growing integration in everyday life. Although people need a limited number of liberal arts classes to attain a basic understanding of ourselves and our evolution, state universities are aptly moving towards technical education, because, in this fast paced world, many people don’t have the time or money to spend studying the humanities alone.

    In the United States, the history of Career and Technical Education evolved within four major periods. First, the Awakening period which began in 1776-1826, when the right to a free public education was expressed. During this era, educational opportunities in labor and industrial education were being demanded. The rising working class began to press for an education that were more appropriate for their labor and industry’s needs (Awakening 1776-1826, 1976). Even Benjamin Franklin who represented the Awakening middle class was on board with the rise of technical and vocational education which were taught primarily by private masters or contracted apprenticeships (Cohen, 1976).

    For the last four decades, the House of Congress has been crucial is putting in place quite a number of civil rights laws that aim at eliminating discrimination in all educational programs as well as all those activities that receive federal financing.

  • Essentialism In Education Essay

    1256 Words  | 3 Pages

    When analyzing contemporary issues in education, it is very important to ask why and how the issues arise. Some of these problems are obvious to the mass public, and some require a more in-depth analysis. One of the less obvious issues in education is the current philosophy in the classrooms. One may ask the questions, “Why is the philosophy of education important? And, why does it matter to me?” To put it simply, the philosophy imbedded in the goals of education and teaching methods in a classroom affects the students’ futures. This topic was chosen because the philosophy in schools is often overlooked as the absolute core of educational issues. Many students understandably struggle with sitting in a classroom, uninterested. In addition to the constant stress and pressure of having good grades, students often ask why the given curriculum must be learned.
