Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Vocationalization of secondary education is taken to mean curriculum change in a practical or vocational direction. Vocationalization is a trend which transcends the divide between rich and poor countries and between different political systems. This volume illustrates the international importance of the theme. Part I deals with the views and expectations relating to the process of vocationalization. Part II is concerned with the process of policy formulation and the conditions impinging on that process. Part III addresses select issues in policy implementation and describes more broadly how vocationalization policies have been implemented throughout the education system of various countries. Finally, Part IV discusses the results of a number of empirical evaluation studies.
Selected papers from a conference on the vocationalization of education which was held at the Dept. of International and Comparative Education, University of London, Institute of Education in 1986, with the Swedish International Development Authority, Stockholm as its principal sponsor.
