Higher order thinking skills are essential and must be taught. Recent findings of cognitive research provide a better understanding of how people learn and how they solve problems, from which new teaching strategies are emerging. This ERIC DIGEST defines higher order skills, presents arguments for developing thinking skills in vocational education and describes strategies and applications in vocational settings.

U.S. education officials were shocked when a nine-nation survey found that one in five young Americans (18- to 24-year-olds) could not locate the United States on an outline map of the world! That study represents one of the turning points in geography education in the United States. Although most U.S. students still don't take a "geography" course in school as students in many other countries do increased emphasis on the development of geography skills is more widespread today than it was ten years ago. Organizations such as National Geographic and the National Council for the Social Studies have created materials to aid teachers in teaching geography skills. And about ten years ago, the Joint Committee on Geographic Education of the National Council for Geographic Education and the American Association of Geographers developed five specific themes to help focus teacher and student thinking when it comes to geography. Those five themes follow: Location Where are things located? A location can be specific (for example, it can be stated as coordinates of longitude and latitude or as a distance from another place) or general (it's in the Northeast).

Practice Application Briefs Using Problem-Solving Approaches in Vocational Education Bettina Lankard Brown The problem-solving approach to teaching and learning has evolved from the theories of John Dewey. It has been used especially in agricultural education as a way to relate classroom learning to real-life situations or problems. This Brief focuses on practice applications of problem solving in vocational education and their relationship to contextual learning environments. Problem Solving for Teaching and Learning Agricultural education has emphasized problem solving as a means of helping students to develop decision-making skills and teachers to alter their teaching methodology. The traditional method of problem solving for decision making reflects Dewey’s five-step model for learning, expanded to six steps by Newcomb, McCracken, and Warmbrod (Straquadine and Egelund 1992): (1) identification of the problem situation: What is happening?; (2) definition of the problem: What must be done?; (3) search for information: What do we need to know?; (4) analysis of data: What are the important considerations?; (5) testing possible solutions: What will happen if this action is followed?; and (6) conclusion: What action is most promising? The problem-solving method of teaching incorporates problem-solving activities, but places the responsibility for learning on the student. It requires teachers to move from the traditional instructional model to one that engages teachers and students as partners in learning, with the teacher functioning in the role of facilitator or coach rather than leader or all-knowing authority. It requires the use of problems that have real meaning to students, thus motivating them to reach a solution.

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Statement by Patricia W. McNeil Assistant Secretary for Vocational and Adult Education on Vocational Education April 24, 1997 Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee Chairman Jeffords, Senator Kennedy, and Members of the Committee: Thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss the Administration's views on reforming the Federal investment in vocational education. We need a new vision of vocational education if we are going to ensure that students are prepared for the information age of the 21st century. That vision must reflect the rapidly changing demands of our economy and society brought on by new technologies, global competition, and changes in the organization of work. Our vision must reflect the knowledge and skills that workers, citizens and family members will need to be successful in a world that is dramatically different than the one that existed when we got our formal education. In short, we must envision new kinds of schools. I look forward to working closely with this Committee in a bipartisan effort to reshape the Federal investment in vocational education to meet these challenges. I believe it is important that we think about vocational education as an integral part of our efforts to reform secondary schools and improve postsecondary education.

Context The Ohio Civilian Conservation Corps (Ohio CCC) was created by Ohio statute in 1977 and is a division of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. In 1995, there was little legislative support for CCC resulting in threats to cut or eliminate the program unless it could prove it was effectively using tax dollars. Ohio CCC set about to make conservation/service a means to youth employment and development. In 1998, the program was selected by the National Association of Service and Conservation Corps as one of nine programs in the country to participate in the Corps-to-Career initiative, merging traditional CCC activities with best practices for youth/workforce development.

Working With Community Partners Forming Partnerships With Schools W orking With Community Partners This section is organized according to the groups in a community that have a role in protecting young workers, such as schools, employers, and job trainers. For all of the groups, we have provided reasons for their involvement and strategies for working with them. We have also included many examples from our projects. Please keep in mind that this section provides ideas for a broad array of groups and activities so that you have a variety from which to choose. We are not suggesting that you need to reach all of these groups or undertake all of these activities to be successful. Instead, we recommend that you begin with the one or two groups and activities that best fit your community. Why should schools be partners? Schools can be important allies in your work with teens. Schools have a direct responsibility to ensure the safety of teens in vocational education and school-to-career programs and an indirect responsibility to prepare students for adult life. Young people are better prepared for their adult work lives when they understand their workplace rights and responsibilities and can learn how to apply them productively. Also, because working too many hours can affect a student's school performance, educators are often interested in teen work. Reaching out to schools in your community Identify existing work-related programs.

Going online: Infrastructures and services for Internet delivered vocational education Roger Atkinson Murdoch University, Western Australia Summary of presentation at the 3 rd International Conference "Researching Vocational Education and Training" July 14-16 1999, Bolton Institute Internet based delivery of vocational education and training requires development of new kinds of infrastructures and services. What are these services? What's the best way to obtain them? This article reviews the specialised requirements for college and industry based online courses, with particular reference to "in house" and "outsourced" access to world wide web course servers. Introduction Online learning offers attractive ways to enhance the flexible delivery of vocational education and training. Online learning facilitates communications between students and tutors, enables peer group communications between students, allows frequent updating of study materials, includes access to online resources worldwide, and it may be integrated with many kinds of interactive multimedia and computer assisted learning. Online learning has special attractions for work place based training and corporate training. Often an organisation has well developed local and wide area network communications for purposes of its business operations. In such cases online learning may offer good economies and high effectiveness with respect to use of existing workstations, servers and network equipment, whilst existing online documentation may provide reference material for training programs.

elcome to the Vocational Education Page in the Dubuque Community Schools Web site. In Dubuque Community Schools, vocational education takes many and varied forms, from curriculum planning to activities that extend opportunities for our students beyond the classroom experience. Today vocational education includes highly technical training to prepare students for the evolving information industry, for example. Why Vocational Education is So Important In many individual cases, a four-year liberal arts education may not be the best fit for a particular student at this stage of his or her life. This is why the Dubuque Community School District is collaborating with regional and state education agencies as well as the Iowa Association of Business and Industry, to continually explore and cultivate post secondary educational options for our students. One of the programs we are most enthusiastic about is School-to-Work. Below is a cursory outline of School-to-Work as we apply it in our District.
