Full textAbstract:
The ideological and political education of secondary vocational school students is of utmost importance, requiring not only scientific guidance from schools but also the active involvement of families. Currently, there are common issues in the process of school-home cooperation in secondary vocational schools, such as parents not prioritizing students’ learning, limited and superficial forms of cooperation, and communication barriers between families and schools. By analyzing the significance of school-home cooperation in the ideological and political education of secondary vocational school students, this paper provides strategic suggestions for implementing school-home cooperation in secondary vocational schools. These suggestions include promoting the correct concept of school-home cooperation, enhancing the guiding ability of family education, and establishing multiple channels for school-home cooperation. Through these efforts, a synergistic educational force can be formed to promote collaborative education between families and schools.

Innovation ability is the ability to continuously provide new ideas, theories, methods, and inventions with economic, social, and ecological values in the fields of technology and various practical activities. The ideological and political education of vocational school students should be student-oriented and close to reality and life. It is necessary to improve the pertinence, effectiveness, attractiveness, and infectiousness of ideological and political education, and cultivate socialist builders and successors with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, and beauty. In this paper, we investigate and understand the practice of innovation ability education in colleges and universities at home and abroad, especially the current situation of professional practice teaching in Xinjiang Vocational Colleges. The construction of a professional practice base in vocational colleges is systematically studied.

In Pakistan home economics was introduced in 1952 and graduates of this field have been entering various vocational fields. However there is a gross misconception among general public and policy makers about its vocational importance. This study was conducted to assess the rate of utilizing home economics education for gainful employment by students of Rana Liaqat Ali Khan Government College Of Home Economics Karachi who completed post graduate education from 1960 to 2006. Sample was recruited through snow ball technique and at least a few person form each year were contacted to get information about gainful employment of the respondent and their classmates. It was revealed that during all decades at least 60% of the postgraduates entered gainful employment. It is hoped that results of this study would help in clarifying misconceptions about home economics and such studies needs to be conducted on a larger scale.

Full textAbstract:
There is an urgent need for support services for teachers and for interventions for students in vocational education mainstreaming programs. Development of appropriate and specific interventions for use in these classes requires precise descriptions of instructional demands and teacher expectations in the technical, home economics, and business areas of vocational education. The primary purpose of this study was to compare the instructional setting demands and teacher expectations of vocational education classes with those found in regular academic classes. Results were mixed and not significantly different for instructional grouping and instructional materials and methods. Teachers in academic and vocational classes also held similar expectations for behaviors necessary for success in their courses. However, significant differences were found in the demands of physical setting, method of instruction, class requirements, and allowed accommodations. In addition, significant differences were found between the three types of vocational courses: home economics, business, and technical. The implications of these findings for future research and classroom practice are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Assessing the competencies and skills of Home Economics students is essential to understand their proficiency levels in key areas like Financial Management, Culinary Expertise, and Leadership Qualities in this literature review. However, the presence of diverse opinions emphasizes the importance of tailored curriculum approaches to strengthen these competencies effectively. Students' self-assessment of skills in hospitality management provides insights into their confidence levels, showcasing strengths in Entrepreneurial Mindset and Adaptability/Flexibility, yet revealing weaknesses in Family/Consumer Sciences Knowledge and Home Management/Housekeeping. These insights inform targeted support and training programs, enhancing the career readiness of Home Economics graduates. Furthermore, robust connections between students' interests and skills across Home Economics sub-fields suggest opportunities for integrated program design aligned with students' strengths. Addressing socio-economic factors and aligning educational offerings with students' aspirations are essential for fostering an inclusive learning environment conducive to career readiness. Implications include tailored curriculum approaches enhancing overall education quality, equipping graduates with skills for workforce success, and driving positive change within Home Economics education.

Full textAbstract:
In the two decades following World War II, a loose network of home economists at colleges and universities across the United States turned their attention to homemaking methods for women with physical disabilities. Often in consultation with physically disabled homemakers, these home economists researched and designed assistive devices, adaptive equipment, and work simplification techniques for use in the home. Their efforts signaled a new field of study, “homemaker rehabilitation,” which helped to enlarge the broader vocational rehabilitation system beyond its historic focus on male veterans and wage earners while also expanding the boundaries of home economics itself. Home economists’ work with disabled homemakers both bolstered and challenged postwar domesticity, middle-class gender roles, and able-bodied normalcy. Calling attention to these contradictions reveals much about how home economists engaged with and understood disability and how their work intersected with burgeoning movements for disability rights.

Full textAbstract:
The paper is meant to examine delivery and challenges of Vocational Teacher Education programme of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria. The popularity of ABU goes beyond Nigeria and West Africa. It is among the three first generation universities in Nigeria. It has a Faculty of Education which is generally concerned with teacher education in the university. Under it, there is a section that is primarily concerned with Vocational Teacher Education in the university. For better understanding of the nature of the study the paper conceptualizes the major concepts in the study which include; concepts of vocational education and vocational teacher education. It was observed that, the vocational teacher education in the university follows some strategies in the process of delivery these include; theoretical aspects of the training which is done through various courses offered in the departments and general education, this use to be accompanied by Teaching Practice (TP), Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES), Industrial Attachment, Field Trip and Practical. The vocational teacher education is run by two departments viz; Business Studies, Vocational and Technical Education and Home Economics. The Programme in the university is faced with some challenges which include; problem of funding, learning facilities, shortage of qualified vocational education lecturers, poor public perception and apathy, low information and technology compliance curriculum. It is therefore suggested that, Ahmadu Bello University should supply adequate resources to the technical and vocational education unit of the university. alongside with a budgetary allocation to the sector in order to cater for its recurrent expenditure in the training processes. The curriculum taught in other vocational education sector should be reviewed to meet the demands of the labour market as done by the Home Economics unit and be able to incorporate computer competence.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractPolitical science research into the determinants and consequences of who was taught what, when, and how in public schools is rare. One challenge encountered by researchers is that structured and detailed (historical) comparative data about curricula is limited, also in Switzerland. We contribute to closing this gap by introducing HESSS, a novel dataset on the provision of home economics education (“Hauswirtschaftsunterricht”) in Switzerland in ten German‐speaking cantons for vocational‐ and university‐track secondary schools since 1980 and 1991, respectively. Our dataset can help scholars explore variation in home economics education over time and across cantons, and facilitate research on the Swiss educational system. In this research note, we outline the main features of the data and illustrate how they can be used in two applications: (i) tracking the switch from gender‐segregated to co‐educated home economics classes across cantons; and (ii) describing the impact of budget cuts on home economics in the canton of Zurich.

Established student career identity is proven to influence individual career commitment. However, several research results show that some career identities still need to be established and have high commitment. This study aims to examine the effect of individual career commitment on career identity diffusion in vocational students. This study is a quantitative correlational research design that examines the effect of X1: social standards, X2; financial benefit, X3: functional benefit to variable Y; Career Identity Diffusion which is analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The population in this study were vocational students at Universitas Negeri Makassar. A sample of 210 students participates in the study. The instruments in this study consisted of 2, namely the Career Identity Development Inventory (CIDI) and the Career Development Questionnaire, which have been tested for validity and reliability through the Confirmatory Factor Analysis test. This study's findings indicate that financial and functional benefits are the main considerations for students who have a career diffusion identity to remain in their majors. This finding contributes to the fact that students tend to choose majors because of the high salary they will get in the future and the desire to fulfill their parents' expectations as successful people. The findings of this research are expected to be a consideration in implementing career guidance in schools, especially for teachers at vocational high schools and Counseling Guidance Teachers, so that effective career guidance since middle school will help students develop a more positive career identity.

Представлены результаты анализа состояния современного рынка труда, а также реальное количество граждан, работающих не по специальности. Выявлено, что неблагоприятная статистика формируется вследствие неэффективного проведения профориентационных мероприятий. Предложен профориентационный интерактивный игровой тренинг как инновационное средство профессиональной ориентации, являющийся более адаптивным по отношению к современным старшеклассникам – представителям поколения Z. Результаты проведенного эксперимента показали, что игровые интерактивные техники, используемые в процессе проведения тренинга, облегчают решение психодиагностических задач в профориентации. The questions of the effectiveness of methods and approaches used in vocational guidance in modern education are considered. The results of the analysis of the state of the modern labor market, as well as the real number of citizens working outside their specialty, are presented. It is indicated that unfavorable statistics are formed due to the absence or illiterate conduct of career guidance activities for modern adolescents in a comprehensive school, which contradicts the main regulatory documents governing the conduct of career guidance work. The article provides a critical analysis of career guidance psychodiagnostic methods currently used, which were created in the second half of the 20th century and do not take into account the specifics of professions, as well as the generational trend of modern adolescents. The authors have developed career guidance interactive game training as an innovative means of career guidance, which is more adaptive in relation to modern high school students – representatives of the Z generation. The results of the experiment showed that the proposed author’s career guidance system in the paradigm “author’s questionnaire – game career guidance training – individual consultations with parents and children” can be considered a more effective tool for the professional orientation of modern schoolchildren compared to other methods used in modern education.

Full textAbstract:
This article compares how vocational guidance is provided in schools in Britain and three Continental European countries. The comparisons are based on classroom observations and interviews with teachers in some two dozen secondary schools in Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, together with a similar number in Britain. Careers guidance on the Continent begins earlier, is taught by careers specialists in separate lessons devoted to the topic, and is geared specifically to providing youngsters with detailed information on the content and requirements for particular types of work. The lack of focus on occupationally-specific information in ‘careers guidance’ in British schools, particularly in the now-widespread ‘Personal and Social Education’ (PSE) courses, leaves many British youngsters at a distinct disadvantage in making a successful transition to the world of work. The article suggests a number of relatively simple measures which could significantly improve careers education in British schools.

Vocational Education is capital intensive. This is because it is not like any of the liberal academic discipline that has to do with theories rather Vocational Education has to do with skill acquisition and competencies on its beneficiaries. For this to be possible there must be adequate fund to provide facilities, equipment, materials and all the needed prerequisite. Unfortunately, this has not been the case in institutions running Vocational Eeducation. To solve this problem, the writer identified the funding needs of vocational education and went further to discuss the constraints for adequate funding of vocational education. The paper was concluded with suggestions for alternative strategies for adequate funding of Vocational Education to ensure quality assurance. Some of the suggestions among others are that Vocational Education practitioners should convince government to increase allocation or subventions to Vocational Education Institution. Internally generated revenue project should be established via school livestock, crop farms, product manufacturing, bottled water, block moulding, arts works, cloth making, etc. Also staff and students of Home Economics Education should be marketed as caterers and event managers to generate revenue internally to promote Vocational Education. PTA should be involved in the funding of Vocational Education programme.

Community Science is a field that goes far beyond the stereotype of home-making and household chores. It is a rich and diverse domain that addresses a wide array of knowledge essential for enhancing the well-being and quality of life for individuals, families, and communities in an ever-evolving world. In the ever-evolving realm of higher education, there is a growing emphasis on incorporating vocational elements into academic programs. This shift aims to connect the dots between conventional classroom instruction and practical, real-world applications. This study delves into the realm of Vocationalization within the context of B.Sc. Community Science degree programs, aiming to evaluate the perception of students regarding this transformation. The B.Sc. Community Science degree was traditionally known as Home Science and was associated with a focus on theoretical and practical knowledge in domestic sciences, now it has evolved to incorporate practical vocational elements that equip graduates with skills necessary for contemporary life and employment. The result showed that in this study only 21% of the respondents expressed the view that Community Science education indeed offers viable vocational opportunities for students to pursue in their future careers, while 16% disagreed with this assertion and substantial majority of 63% of the students appeared to be undecided or neutral on this matter. This shift in curriculum design seeks to enhance the employability and career readiness of students while aligning academic pursuits with industry demands.

Full textAbstract:
Summary In Germany, students in lower track secondary schools (LTSS) typically receive intensive career guidance. Nevertheless, the majority of LTSS student graduates does not start an apprenticeship immediately after graduation. This paper analyzes career planning, school grades, and the first transition after graduation for LTSS students in Freiburg during the late 2000s. Only about 10% of LTSS students start an apprenticeship immediately after graduation. About half, typically those with better grades, participate in additional general teaching (AGT) and rather continue schooling after graduation, expecting that this will improve their future career options. The majority of students with poor school grades, especially male students with a migration background, continue with pre-vocational training, even though career guidance was effective in terms of the career planning activities reported by students. Our results suggest that a focus of career guidance on the immediate start of an apprenticeship after graduation may be misplaced for those students continuing in further schooling. Furthermore, such a focus potentially raises hopes for an immediate start of an apprenticeship among the other students, which may later on be frustrated when a student continues with pre-vocational training.

The study looked into how to raise the caliber of vocational education in Rivers State to meet development problems of the twenty-first century. The study was led by two research questions and two hypotheses. The research used a descriptive survey approach. Vocational, technical, and Home Economics teachers from vocational schools in Rivers State made up the study's population. A sample size of 232 was determined using the practical sampling technique. A 32-item questionnaire created by the researcher with the title Improving the Quality of Vocational Education to Meet 21st Century Development Challenges (IQVEMCDCQ) served as the data gathering tool. The z-test, mean, and standard deviation were employed to analyze the data. Findings showed that overcoming the difficulties of the 21st century in Rivers State, Nigeria, depended heavily on preserving school facilities and raising teacher quality. It was determined that in order for Rivers State's vocational education to face the difficulties of 21st-century development, school infrastructure must be maintained and manpower levels must be raised. Government must fulfill its obligation to provide necessary and high-quality facilities in vocational schools in Rivers State, and school administrators must be accountable.

At the moment of its founding in 1911, Connecticut College for Women exhibited a curricular tension between an emphasis on the liberal arts, which mirrored the elite men's and women's colleges of the day, and vocational aspects, which made it a different type of women's college, one designed to prepare women for the kind of lives they would lead in twentieth-century America. Connecticut was a women's college that simultaneously embraced the established brand of education practiced by its prestigious Seven Sister neighbors and forged its own path by integrating elements of home economics, municipal housekeeping, and professional/clerical training into its academic program. For forty years Connecticut College for Women achieved a balance between those two opposing poles of its curriculum.

Context: In Germany, vocational education and training (VET) plays a key role in the transition from school to working life. Due to its proximity to the labour market and an increasingly digitised, connected world, the professional knowledge requirements of VET teachers are changing and an adjustment of competence frameworks for vocational teachers is needed. Approach: Since its introduction, the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical And Content Knowledge) framework of Shulman and Mishra and Koehler has been repeatedly used in the international research discourse as a framework for capturing teachers' professional knowledge. Given the infrequent reference to TPACK in the field of vocational education and training (VET), this theoretical article aims to adapt the TPACK framework for VET teachers. A literature review revealed the importance of developing an adapted TPACK framework that takes into account the peculiarities of the German vocational school system as well as the non technical personal service sector. Based on this research gap, an appropriately adapted TPACK framework was developed. The focus of this article lies on VET of nutritional science and home economics. Findings: After considering and analysing the requirements of the VET system in Germany in the context of digitalisation, it is suggested to adapt and enlarge the existing TPACK framework, thus creating an N-TPACK framework, taking into account "Networking and Collaborative Knowledge (NK)" as an aspect of essential VET teachers' professional knowledge. Conclusion: The present theoretical article considers the research desideratum of extending the TPACK framework by developing a theoretical N-TPACK framework as well as examining and discussing the various knowledge areas. Building on this theoretical article, a survey of the current status quo of these professional knowledge areas among (prospective) VET teachers in the subject area of nutrition and home economics is necessary, in order to provide orientation and to be able to derive recommended actions for an up-to-date and forward looking teacher education and training.

The role of vocational guidance in teaching mathematics in the educational process of economic specialties students is presented. The importance and necessity of obtaining high-quality knowledge of the mathematical approach by students of economic specialties is demonstrated. Today’s students, and in near future: specialists in the field of economics should be able to meet the high standards of the modern labor market; they must be interested in obtaining a higher level of knowledge. The issue of improving the quality of mathematical knowledge is quite acute, and as one of the ways is to stimulate the study of mathematical disciplines, the authors consider the introduction of a professionally-oriented textbook into the educational process. The article provides the structure of this textbook, which contains all the necessary theoretical material, key concepts, and questions for self-assessment, a list of references and a large number of professionally oriented tasks.

In this paper I discuss interviews conducted with Indonesian village women, concerning their decisions to sojourn abroad for work. The women detail three factors that they believe compel them to seek work abroad: lack of job opportunities, lack of educational and training opportunities and personal desire to experience life outside the confines of family and village life. They also raise the issue of government biases in educational and vocational planning that negatively affects villagers’ abilities to find employment within Indonesia, and particularly within rural environments.I also interviewed community support workers who mention political patronage as a factor in allocating funds for educational and training projects. Recent studies indicate that the Indonesian government has, for many years, prioritized formal education at the public-school level in urban centers and larger provincial towns, but that poorer rural villages lack access to similar opportunities. Many Indonesian women working in laboring positions abroad emanate from these poorer villages.Participant recommendations include delinking village educational funding from political patronage, and allocating more funds to remote villages, not only in terms of building more primary and secondary schools but also in terms of providing long-term vocational training, particularly for young adults, which, in combination with increased employment opportunities, may decrease the necessity to migrate.Data was collected through interviews and written journals in Indonesia and Hong Kong between 2005 and 2017.

Full textAbstract:
The study was designed to determine the relevance of basic electricity to home economics students in technical colleges in Edo state, Nigeria. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, three research questions were raised while one hypothesis was formulated. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design. The population and sample of the study consists of one hundred and forty (140) NTC II and III Home Economics students in four technical colleges in Edo State. A four point rating scale questionnaire titled Relevance of Basic Electricity to Home Economics Students Questionnaire (RBEHSQ)was the instrument used to collect data from the respondents. The face and content validity of the instrument was ascertained by two lecturers in department of vocational and technical education, and one Lecturer in department of measurement and evaluation, faculty of education, University of Benin, Benin city, Nigeria. The split half technique was used to determine the reliability of the instrument. The two sets of scores obtained were correlated using Pearson Product Moment Corrolation Coefficient (PPMCC) and the process yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.71 which means that the instrument was reliable. Mean ( ) and standard deviation (SD) were used to answer research questions 2 and 3 while research question 1 was answered with simple percentage. The hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance with chi-square. Findings revealed that Home economics students are much aware of the relevance of basic electricity to home economics, students are moderately familiar with the basic electricity aspect of home economics programme and that the extent to which students are acquainted with basic electricity skills relevant to home economics is low. Tested hypothesis revealed that there is no significant difference between the perception of male and female students of the relevance of basic electricity to home economics. Based on the findings, it was recommended that efforts should be made by home economic lecturers to relate basic electricity to home economics so as to enable students become aware of the relationship between subjects, educational planners and school management should make adequate provision for necessary facilities for the teaching of basic electricity. School management should also ensure that only qualified lecturers are employed to teach home economics and that lecturers on their part should handle the basic electricity with all seriousness in such a way that would increase students’ interest and acquire skills in basic electricity.

The purpose of the study. Generalization of the results of creating a pre-university model (on the example of the economic lyceum of the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics) for the general case of organizing specialized schools.Materials and methods. By the method of selective observation according to the criterion of involvement in the educational process, 226 respondents were selected to conduct a standardized survey. To process the results obtained, methods of mathematical and statistical analysis were used, such as correlation, regression and factor analyzes. To analyze the subjective effectiveness of the pre-university as a form of education, a controlled experiment was conducted.Research results. The following results were obtained and summarized:The activities of the pre-university are closely related to career guidance. Students single out vocational guidance work as a key area of work of the pre-university.The satisfaction of schoolchildren as participants in the educational process depends on the competencies of teachers and satisfaction with the material and technical base of the pre-university.There are two trajectories of professional self-determination of students. The first one is through the university where the pre-university is located. The second is through the broader needs of the labor market.The opinion of teachers on the block of professional self-determination is uniform in comparison with schoolchildren. Teachers believe that most students have made a conscious choice and their choice meets the needs of the labor market.Participants in the educational process believe that the functional model of the pre-university is the most effective. Because of the experiment, results were obtained regarding the subjective effectiveness of pre-university models. The details of the experiment are described in the results of the study and allow us to draw a conclusion about the heuristics of students regarding the learning model.Conclusion. The results of the study showed that pre-university students are satisfied with the educational process, which is largely related to the competencies of teachers. Just the university, as an organization that accumulates scientists and representatives of the scientific community, can become a costly platform for organizing interaction between talented teachers and talented students.As a result of the study, differences were established between vocational guidance at the university where the pre-university is located, and general vocational guidance. Both private and general career guidance are aimed at reducing the risks for the student to not fully decide on the choice of profession when entering a university. Empirical Model of Pre-University.From an economic point of view, the pre-university accumulates the resources of the university in terms of material and technical equipment and, for example, food. This is an important factor influencing the satisfaction of students from the educational process.The empirical pre-university model, which is based on the functional interaction of pre-university students with university students (the model is shown in Figure 2), proves the importance of strategic research in the field of economics of education and educational policy. The results of the study can be used to develop pre-university schools as a form of school education in order to develop human capital at the stage of schooling and increase the subjective success and satisfaction from the educational process of students.The authors hope that this article will become a platform for studying the pre-university as a form of school education in the economic and sociological facets of analysis.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to test an hypothesis that teachers’ personal orientations toward food preparation, nutrition and environmental issues would be related to their perceived importance of food skills. Design/methodology/approach – Little research has been conducted on home economics teachers’ views on the importance of the food skills they teach in secondary schools in Australia. Therefore, an online survey was conducted among 261 home economics teachers in Australian secondary schools. The research measured respondents’ ratings of the importance of 70 food skills as well as their teaching preferences and use of resources. Findings – Respondents rated the procedural “hands-on” skills required to prepare a healthy meal as most important. Exploratory factor analysis derived five components (procedures for domestic settings, procedures for vocational settings, cookery methods, food economy, using microwave oven appliances) relating to teachers’ perceived importance of food skills. Teachers’ personal orientations were described as food aesthete, consumer-environmentalist and nutritionist. The findings showed that these were better predictors of the perceived importance of food skills than demographic characteristics. The most important perceived skills related to the basic procedures required by young people to be able to prepare meals for themselves when living independently. Teachers’ personal “orientations” were significantly related to the perceived importance of food skills. Demographic and professional characteristics were poor predictors of these perceptions. Originality/value – The findings provide home economics teachers with an understanding of their selection of particular food skills to teach their students in skill-based healthy eating programmes.

The article reveals the problems of vocational guidance and employment of people with disabilities living in rural areas. Potential opportunities for expanding the labor participation of disabled people in the agro-industrial sector and other sectors of the rural economy are considered. The role of education in stimulating the labor activity of disabled people is revealed. The issues of organizing retraining and advanced training of disabled people living in rural areas are considered. Arguments are given that the involvement of people with disabilities in labor activity is one of the mechanisms for the development of the agrosphere and rural areas. The authors conclude that in order to perform the career guidance function, organizations of additional vocational education need to interact with employment service bodies, executive bodies of state authority of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, local self-government bodies, bodies of territorial public self-government, industry associations operating in rural areas. The measures mentioned in the article, according to the authors, will stimulate the economic activity of disabled people; promote vocational education for disabled people and their employment, create conditions for the development of new forms of staff training and retraining in the countryside, support traditional types of agricultural activities and businesses, accelerate the introduction of new activities and contribute to the stable integrated development of rural areas.

The Guidance and Counseling Instructor's Role in Supervising Private Vocational School Students at School Students' bad behavior known as truancy includes not attending school without permission, missing certain class hours, and returning home after school has begun. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the causes of truancy among students and the consequences of such behavior at school. It is common knowledge that truancy results in learning failure. The descriptive qualitative method was utilized in this study. According to the findings of the research that was carried out, the behavior of truancy is influenced by both internal and external factors like a lack of motivation and interest in learning, juvenile delinquency, and friends who like truants but don't like certain teachers or lessons. They frequently receive calls from counseling teachers as a result of truancy, and they miss lessons, which can result in lower grades or, the most serious outcome, expulsion from school.

The study analyzes Home Economics Strand program students' demographic profiles, career aspirations, and perceived competencies. It finds that most students are 17-18 years old, aligning with Senior high school levels. However, there is a significant gender imbalance, with more female students enrolled. The socio-economic status of students’ parents indicates financial challenges, with 78.08 % earning less than P10,000 monthly. This highlights the students’ economic background and potential difficulties meeting basic needs, including education. The study suggests exploring these factors to inform the design of targeted support systems. The survey examines students’ interests, capabilities, career choices, and professional objectives. Results show a higher interest in bread and pastry production and food and beverage/bartending, while financial management, culinary expertise, and leadership qualities are highly valued. The research suggests that educational institutions should modify curricula to enhance these skills. Self-evaluation of students’ abilities in home economics curriculum areas can help determine confidence levels. Proficiency in Fashion in Hospitality Management and family and consumer sciences knowledge are seen as weaker, while entrepreneurial mindset and adaptability/flexibility are highly valued. The correlation matrix explores the relationships between students' interests and skills, suggesting strong connections between various hospitality management sub-fields. Finally, the study concludes by highlighting the importance of the presented data in informing decision-making regarding curriculum development, support systems, and career guidance. Moreover, it emphasizes the importance of investigating how socio-economic factors impact learners' academic experiences to nurture an educational atmosphere that promotes inclusivity and provides support.

A study was developed from the research paper Study of academic mortality, pedagogical strategies, and dropout on dropout levels in Colombia and Latin America in order to identify factors that in some way affect increased dropout, such as admissions exams, vocational guidance, economics, and personal difficulties. We also identified the elements of greatest convergence: causes of dropping out, economic difficulties, students’ personal and family histories, secondary education, and, to a lesser degree, suggested strategies that can be used by universities. Therefore, we can conclude that despite the great diversity of studies, the shortcoming lies in the lack of effective policies curtailing university dropout and lack of support for regional education policies to integrate university, society and State.

Despite being one of the most important decisions a household has to make and extensively covered in personal finance textbooks, there is very little empirical guidance as to whether it pays to own a house. We examine this empirical question for households with different risk tolerance. By including home ownership into the general portfolio analysis of financial assets, we demonstrate clearly the interaction effect between financial assets and home ownership. We also offer a compre- hensive analysis of 20 regional housing markets to determine whether the economic case for home ownership varies across regions. For households that decide to rent instead of owning a house, this study offers evidence on the effectiveness of hedging housing consumption risk with investments in real estate investment trusts.

Secondary vocational education (SPE) occupies a significant position in the education system of the Russian Federation. In modern society, there is a need for multi-level education systems that can provide competent and competitive specialists in the labor market. As a result, getting a high-quality education becomes a clear and reasonable goal for both the younger generation and adults. The quality of education remains one of the key factors for the successful development of the country. Progress in various fields, such as technology, economics, informatization, education and society as a whole, directly depend on it. SPE plays an important role in the training of a skilled workforce that meets the needs of various sectors of the economy. It aims to provide students not only with professional knowledge and skills, but also with the formation of general cultural competencies. The importance of vocational education lies in the fact that it ensures the socio-economic mobility of the population, promotes the integration of graduates into society and increases their social status. However, the implementation of effective and high-quality vocational training for students of secondary vocational education is faced with a number of problems. Some of them include the need to update educational programs in accordance with modern requirements of the labor market, strengthening the practical component of training, improving the professional competence of the teaching staff, the introduction of information and educational technologies and the development of career guidance. Solving these problems requires the joint efforts of the State, the public, employers and professional educational institutions. Thus, the development of high-quality education in secondary education remains an urgent task affecting national development as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
The article substantiates the model of “reverse inclusion” in the interconnection of sociostructural, sociocultural and spatial aspects. In addition to these aspects, the paper describes the socio-legal and socio-pedagogical foundations of the model. Along with the key category of inclusion the following categories are revealed: “disability”, “disabled person”, “social barrier”, “inclusive social strategy”, and “inclusive strategy in education”. “Reverse inclusion” is opposed to the dominant model of direct inclusion. Due to the fact that the article is of a theoretical and methodological nature, factual data play an illustrative role. The empirical base is represented by secondary data, as well as by some references to the authors’ research of 2016 conducted by the staff of the research laboratory of the Moscow State University of Humanities and Economics for purposes of vocational guidance; in this research a series of 27 in-depth interviews were carried out with students with musculoskeletal disorders studying at MSUHE.
