Download or read book Vocational Studies Lifelong Learning and Social Values written by Terry Hyland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1999. Lifelong learning is the slogan with which the Labour Government has chosen to publicise and popularise its values and policies for post-16 education and training under the new administration. Dr. Hyland’s book subjects New Labour policy - particularly developments surrounding the University for Industry and the New Deal - to searching scrutiny and offers a number of recommendations designed to upgrade vocational education and training (VET). If we are to create a high status and high quality VET system comparable to those of our European competitors we will need, Dr. Hyland argues, to move towards a unified curriculum in the post-school sector bringing with it the abolition of the present three-track model of NVQs, GNVQs and GCSEs/A Levels. More significantly it is argued that all vocational learning - both work-based and college-based - needs to be underpinned by a common core of knowledge and understanding and crucially, be located within a values framework which gives due attention to social justice and community interests rather than simplistic and utilitarian economistic objectives and employability skills. Moreover, the aesthetic and moral dimensions of vocational studies are not optional extras but areas of vocational learning experience which are essential and foundational if vocational education and training is to be enhanced in order to satisfy current lifelong learning criteria. Dr. Hyland’s challenging account provides one of the first comprehensive philosophical and policy critiques of New Labour VET developments and will be of interest to those committed to high quality vocational studies on all sides of education and industry as well as to lecturers, tutors, trainers and students working in post-compulsory education and training.

Download or read book PISA Problem Solving for Tomorrow s World written by Programme for International Student Assessment and published by OECD. This book was released on 2004 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a three-yearly collaborative study among the 30 OECD member countries and other non-OECD countries, which aims to establish an international standardised assessment of the knowledge and skills of 15 year olds in the principal industrialised countries. This publication contains initial findings from the 2003 assessment which included an examination of students' problem-solving skills, providing for the first time a direct assessment of life competencies that apply across different areas of the school curriculum. About one in five 15-year-olds in OECD countries can be considered a reflective, communicative problem solver, who is able to not only analyse a situation and make decisions, but can also cope with multiple conditions simultaneously. However, the report also reveals significant variations in performance results between countries. It also considers the influence of gender and student background in student performance and assesses the implications for policy development.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1993, Managing Stress in Families deals with the use of well-researched psychosocial strategies in working with families under stress. This includes households where one or more members experience major mental or physical health problems, learning disabilities, as well as marital and family stresses. It takes a structured problem-solving approach that builds on the efforts of all members living together to manage their stresses in the best way they know. Designed as a practical workbook to assist in the training of therapists from all clinical disciplines, the book describes in detail the strategies that are effective in working with families, and the therapist skills required in order to employ these interventions. The authors, who have all worked with families in community settings, describe in a clear step-by-step manner how to employ a variety of techniques including communication skills training and training in the use of problem-solving skills. They use case studies to illustrate their practice and to cover problem areas such as dealing with crises and the difficulties that arise in therapy. Managing Stress in Families is an invaluable practical handbook which gives a clear idea of what to do in therapy sessions. It will be of immense help to all mental health and social service practitioners, particularly those working in community settings.
