Annual report 2000
Author: European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789289600538
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
The European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (CEDEFOP) moved forward on the four major themes of its medium-term priorities in 2000, which were the following: (1) promoting competencies and lifelong learning; (2) facilitating new ways of learning for a changing society; (3) supporting employment and competitiveness; and (4) improving European understanding and transparency. In tackling this spectrum of activities, the CEDEFOP's accomplishment fell in these two areas: developing knowledge and expertise--encompassing the themes and content within the four priority themes; and serving customers, partners, and policymakers, and fostering research cooperation. In the area of developing knowledge and expertise, a reporting system on lifelong learning was developed; final editing work was completed on key qualifications; a conference on the identification, assessment, and recognition of non-formal learning was conducted; efforts to improve transparency of qualifications were made; and a mechanism to promote mobility was created. In the area of serving its audience, work was completed on reporting on developments in vocational education and training in the European Union (EU); key data on vocational training in the EU were reported; the first report on vocational training policy for the EU was published; an electronic library and information service was improved, and additional research and information exchange was conducted. (Four appendixes include a list of CEDEFOP publications for 2000; human resources of CEDEFOP; staff and financial allocations for 2000; and management board members.) (KC)

How Computers Entered the Classroom, 1960–2000
Author: Carmen Flury
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110780143
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
In the history of education, the question of how computers were introduced into European classrooms has so far been largely neglected. This edited volume strives to address this gap. The contributions shed light on the computerization of education from a historical perspective, by attending closely to the different actors involved – such as politicians, computer manufacturers, teachers, and students –, political rationales and ideologies, as well as financial, political, or organizational structures and relations. The case studies highlight differences in political and economic power, as well as in ideological reasoning and the priorities set by different stakeholders in the process of introducing computers into education. However, the contributions also demonstrate that simple cold war narratives fail to capture the complex dynamics and entanglements in the history of computers as an educational technology and a subject taught in schools. The edited volume thus provides a comprehensive historical understanding of the role of education in an emerging digital society.

ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
The identification and analysis of innovative approaches and practices for the integration of low-skilled workers into lifelong learning and the labour market represents an important challenge from the perspective of employment, social and educational policies because of this group's numerous different disadvantages. This synthesis report presents innovative vocational training initiatives to improve the integration of low-skilled workers into lifelong learning and the labour market. It includes an analysis of their transferability to other regions and states, as well as the EU as a whole. This publication is intended to help policy-makers at European, national and regional levels to implement innovative vocational training programmes by providing the latest subject-specific information and recommendations for their implementation. The text is also designed to furnish vocational training researchers in this area with up-to-date findings to stimulate their scientific research on measures to improve the integration of low-skilled workers into European labour markets and lifelong learning.

School Dropout and Completion
Author: Stephen Lamb
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9048197635
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
School dropout remains a persistent and critical issue in many school systems, so much so that it is sometimes referred to as a crisis. Populations across the globe have come to depend on success at school for establishing careers and gaining access to post-school qualifications. Yet large numbers of young people are excluded from the advantages that successful completion of school brings and as a result are subjected to consequences such as higher likelihood of unemployment, lower earnings, greater dependence on welfare and poorer physical health and well-being. Over recent decades, most western nations have stepped up their efforts to reduce drop out and raise school completion rates while maintaining high standards. How school systems have approached this, and how successful they are, varies. This book compares the various approaches by evaluating their impact on rates of dropout and completion. Case studies of national systems are used to highlight the different approaches including institutional arrangements and the various alternative secondary school programs and their outcomes. The evaluation is based on several key questions: What are the main approaches? How do they work? For whom do they work? And, how successful are they in promoting high rates of completion and equivalent outcomes for all? This book examines the nature of the dropout problem in advanced industrialized countries with the goal of developing a broader, international understanding that can feed into public policy to help improve completion rates worldwide.
