Book excerpt: This study examines the barriers and facilitators of community based vocational instruction (CBVI) for students with moderate to significant disabilities as identified by special educators. Community based vocational instruction (CBVI) involves students with disabilities receiving repeated instruction on vocational and other job related skills in community settings (Kim & Dymond, 2010). An electronic survey was sent to high school and transition special education teachers from four states including Utah, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Colorado. One hundred thirty-five participants completed the survey. Almost two-thirds of the respondents had a master0́9s degree and one-third a bachelor0́9s degree. The majority of respondents were high school and transition special education teachers. There was a wide range of teaching experience among respondents. The survey data were compiled to identify the major barriers and facilitators of CBVI. The results show that major barriers to CBVI were staffing and transportation. Facilitators to CBVI were adequate and knowledgeable staff, transportation, and established community vocational training sites. Significant findings from the survey include increases in CBVI teacher training resulting in greater CBVI engagement among students. Rates of CBVI among transition age students exceed those in high school. Findings will add to the research literature by operationalizing barriers and facilitators to CBVI, providing data from special educators on rankings of both, and offer perspectives of educators on ways to create opportunities for increased community experience for youth with disabilities.

Book excerpt: This meta-synthesis on community-based instruction and vocational learning in special education explores the training and skills individuals with disabilities require need to survive and thrive in employment and post-school activities designed to improve self-reliance, personal responsibility, and increase exposure to the community and all of the activities and opportunities that exist there. Substantial barriers must be addressed for all individuals with disabilities, but particularly for those individuals with moderate to more severe disabilities.

Download or read book Secondary Special Educators Perceptions of Community based Vocational Instruction for Students with Intellectual Disabilities in Saudi Arabia written by Hussain Almalky and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has shown that special education teachers' beliefs about community-based vocational instruction (CBVI) are important for the effective implementation of vocational education for students with intellectual disabilities (ID). This is important because CBVI is rarely implemented in Saudi Arabian special education institutes and regular high schools for secondary students with ID. Addressing this practice within a Saudi context might draw more attention to this population's need for CBVI to be prepared for postschool employment. This study utilized web-based survey methodology for data collection. The survey, which was adapted from the American context, was designed to investigate special educators' perceptions toward the implementation of CBVI. Significant changes were made to the survey based on the theory of planned behavior and in order to fit the Saudi context. The survey was distributed across Saudi Arabia to all secondary special education teachers in special education institutes and public high schools that have programs serving students with ID, and the response rate was 38%. The results indicated teachers' positive perceptions toward implementing CBVI. They believed that CBVI is an effective strategy to prepare students with ID. Teachers believed that implementing CBVI could increase training and employment opportunities for those students. The findings indicated that the majority of special educators have not implemented CBVI for different reasons, such as lack of administrator support, not enough staff and funding, and not enough cooperation with employers. However, the findings predicted that teachers have the intention to implement CBVI if they can access more training, experience, resources, and support. The results indicated statistically significant differences among respondent groups' mean scores when it comes to implementing CBVI based on gender and teaching setting. Implications and recommendations are also discussed.
