As our nation has become more aware of severe, yet usually rare, crisis events in schools, the need for crisis planning is more evident. Although the severity of crises can differ greatly (e.g., school shooting versus physical assaults), crisis preparedness is an essential component of schools' responsibilities in order to effectively respond to a variety of situations. A total of 70 participants, from multiple states across the United States, completed an online questionnaire about demographic characteristics, resources for school crisis planning, and training on crisis topics. Participants also submitted a copy of their school's crisis plan to be evaluated using a recently developed checklist to assess the comprehensiveness of plans. The results indicated that school crisis plans were often lacking recommended components in the prevention, intervention, and postvention areas. Further analyses revealed that demographic variables did not significantly impact the variation in plan quality, and the total training score did not significantly predict plan quality. However, the regression analysis for the total resources score was significant in predicting plan quality. Another important finding of this research was that plans often included essential crisis procedures that were not included on the checklist used for evaluation. These results hold several implications for schools. First, schools should be revising and updating crisis plans on a regular basis. The lack of certain components based on the checklist should be taken into account when revising these plans. Schools may also want to invest in factors that will positively influence their crisis planning. The current study suggests that resources are a significant predictor of plan quality, and thus this should be an area where schools focus time and funding.

This study examined manufacturing firms' characteristics and environmental factors and their relationships to the perceived importance of basic workplace skills and the preferences of employers toward customized training partnerships with community colleges. Key individuals in the human resource departments responsible for planning and decision making of employing companies were surveyed. The Workplace Education Survey was used to collect data on the employers' perceptions about the importance of basic skills groups, about workplace-based customized training as the preferred means of delivering training in each of seven basic skills groups to their employees, and to determine their preferences for providers of the training. The survey also included customized training partnerships with community colleges. The study analyzed the relationships that exist in comparing the size of the firm and other characteristics identified in the literature with the respondents perceptions regarding the importance of the seven basic skills groups, workplace-based customized training, and partnerships with community colleges. Adaptability Skills, Communication Skills, and Group Effectiveness skills emerge as the most important workplace skills groups, and community colleges as the preferred providers according to the respondents to this study. Findings also revealed that changes in the nature of work and workplace skills are being dictated by the application of computers.

The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the history of Princess Anne County Training School and Union Kempsville High School in Princess Anne County/Virginia Beach, Virginia. The method of inquiry was qualitative, historical research that relied on oral histories to provide a cultural understanding of the school from the perspectives of its students, administrators, teachers, and staff. The school\'s history was reconstructed through direct engagement with individuals whose interviews recounted the establishment, growth, operation, and demise of Princess Anne County Training School/Union Kempsville High School. In order to minimize the nostalgic influence and bring greater validity to the oral histories, data were also collected from historical accounts, school board and community organization minutes, local periodicals, and school artifacts.  
Segregation cultivated legally separate-but-equal schools for Blacks and Whites, with little or no attention given to actual equality. In 1925, the Black community in Princess Anne County, Virginia, mobilized to build a high school for their children who were denied an education beyond seventh grade. Princess Anne County Training School opened for Black students in 1938 and initially utilized a curriculum based on industrial education. It was the first and only Black high school in Princess Anne County/Virginia Beach, Virginia. As Princess Anne County Training School progressed, the Black community eventually repudiated the term, training school. The school\'s name was changed to Union Kempsville High School in the fall of 1961. Gradual desegregation inaugurated by the Brown v. Board of Education decisions led to a decline in student enrollment, and Union Kempsville High School closed in 1969.

The purpose of this study was to document the history of Susie G. Gibson High School from its opening in 1954 to its closure in 1970. The researcher documented and described the establishment, operation, and closure of the school. The study includes a description of how Bedford County transitioned from a dual system of segregated education to a single school system for students of all races and how Susie G. Gibson High School was converted for use as a vocational school as it still functions today. Historical research methods were used to collect data and describe the education of Black students who attended the Susie G. Gibson High School. The evidence for the study consists of primary and secondary sources. This evidence includes written records, archives, manuscripts, maps and documents, but also artifacts (Williams, 2007, p.11). The researcher conducted in-depth interviews with students, school employees, and community members who were involved with the school. Minutes of school board meetings and other contemporary records were utilized as well. Studies by Bonner (1939) and Harrell (1951) and histories by other authors were used as secondary sources for historical context. Susie G. Gibson High School opened in the fall of 1954. It was a much anticipated event because it was the first new high school for Blacks in Bedford County, Virginia. Susie G. Gibson High School replaced the much smaller Bedford Training School that began as an elementary school, but which provided some secondary schooling after 1930. The opening of the school was a culmination of negotiations between the Black community and the Bedford County School Board. The school was the pride of the Black community for over a decade and a half. Susie G. Gibson High School changed to a vocational school in 1970 when the U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) ordered Bedford County to fully integrate its school system.

The traditional method of teaching welding has remained unchanged for decades. In this model, an instructor gives demonstrations to a class of students and then helps them individually as they practice the techniques of welding. This traditional instructional method has been effective but is time consuming. Due to a significant increase in the demand for skilled welders within the United States, efforts have been made to develop more efficient methods of providing welding instruction. Various electronic welding guidance systems and virtual welding systems have recently been developed. In this study, the researcher addressed two questions 1) Does the use of an electronic welding guidance system improve the pass rate that entry-level high school students receive on basic gas metal arc weld tests? 2) Will entry-level high school students who learn gas metal arc welding with a guided welding training system learn how to weld faster and/or more proficiently than those taught using the traditional training method? A study was performed in an entry-level high school welding class to determine the effectiveness of a guided welding instruction system in comparison to the traditional method of teaching welding. The results of the study indicated that the traditional method of teaching welding and the use of a guided welding system yielded similar results, both in quality and efficiency, in student ability to produce basic GMAW welds.

L’Histoire des écoles d’horlogerie de Besançon est inhérente à la naissance et à la continuité d’une industrie spécifique très localisée sur un territoire. Avec elles nous partons de l’ère « proto-industrielle » qui plonge ses racines dans les idéaux révolutionnaires de 1793 pour aboutir aux bouleversements technologiques de l’électronique et du « quartz » des années 1970… S’inscrivant sur la longue durée, trois « écoles » vont se succéder. Pour répondre aux attentes d’une industrie horlogère qui doit constamment faire face aux évolutions techniques, chacune à sa manière, va innover pour constituer un « corpus » original de formation qui n’est pas sans bousculer les rites et usages du temps. Si les deux premières « écoles » eurent une durée de vie limitée, la dernière entité, née en 1861 de la volonté municipale, va pendant plus d’un siècle, accompagner toute une ville (et sa région) dans sa réussite industrielle. Dès sa création, et au fur et à mesure des adaptations qu’elle a su mettre en place, par la qualité et la spécificité des formations dispensées, elle va irriguer de ses élèves toute une industrie toujours à l’affût de personnels qualifiés. Au plan national elle va diffuser le nom de Besançon comme « capitale française de l’horlogerie » en formant nombre d’horlogers-rhabilleurs tenant boutiques et autres ateliers de réparation par tout le territoire… Elle va servir de référence pour implanter dans la Cité des laboratoires de recherche et d’enseignement supérieur : un Observatoire chronométrique, une École d’ingénieurs, un Centre d’études horlogères et de développement industriel (Cétéhor)… Elle va contribuer à la diversification industrielle de la ville dans des domaines connexes à l’horlogerie, notamment dans le découpage, la micromécanique, l’appareillage et les microtechniques… Nationalisée en 1891, elle fait dès lors partie de la petite élite des Écoles Nationales Professionnelles (par assimilation), qui vont marquer le développement industriel du Pays. En 1933, quand elle intègre ses nouveaux locaux, par le nombre et l’originalité de ses filières (de l’ouvrier qualifié à l’ingénieur), par sa dotation en matériels modernes, elle est signalée comme étant le « premier établissement de l’enseignement technique » en France. Le cheminement de cette dernière école fait aussi ressortir une histoire « humaine », « prosopographique », qui met en exergue les nombreux anciens élèves qui se sont lancés avec grande réussite dans la création d’entreprises. Restés fidèles à leur école, ils ont contribué au renom et au développement de la richesse économique de la cité et de sa région… Avec ces écoles d’horlogerie, on aborde enfin l’histoire de l’Enseignement Technique en France. Pour répondre à la demande d’une industrie horlogère en pleine croissance qui déplorait les carences de l’apprentissage en atelier, elles ont été pionnières en ouvrant la voie de « la scolarisation » de la formation professionnelle. Par leurs innovations pédagogiques, et soutenues par les Anciens Élèves, elles ont su établir un lien « École-Entreprise » des plus fructueux qui marque encore la mémoire collective des Bisontins…En 1974 elle perd toute référence à l’horlogerie pour devenir le Lycée Jules Haag. Le temps de l’histoire est désormais advenu pour tenter de comprendre ce qui a fait la force et la réussite de ces « Écoles d’horlogerie » dans leur participation active, sur la durée, à la prospérité économique et industrielle d’une ville et de sa région…
The history of the watchmaking schools in Besançon is part of the birth and continuous development of a specific industry in a very limited sector of the French territory. When studying those schools we start at the « protoindustrial » time with its roots in the revolutionary ideals of 1793 and end up with the technological upheavals of electronics and the « quartz » technology in the 1970s. Three « schools » followed one another over the long term. Each school aimed at satisfying the demands of a watchmakng industry confronted to rapidly changing technical evolutions ; so it innovated in its own way by creating an original « corpus » in the students training and most of the time upset the practices and common ideas of the time. If the first two « schools » had a limited lifespan, the last one created in 1861 by the town council itself has been supporting the industrial growth of the city and the surrounding region. Since its foundation it has stuck to the industrial reality by placing the emphasis on high standards and opening new specific branches whenever necessary, thus answering the needs of firms always looking for highly qualified staff. For a large number of French people Besançon became the « capital town of the watchmaking industry » thanks to the shops or repair workshops kept by Besançon-trained former students all over France… It served as a background to set up research and university laboratories in the city : Observatoire Chronométrique, Ecole d’Ingénieurs, Centre d’Etudes Horlogères et de Développement Industriel (Cétéhor)… It contributed to the industrial diversification of the town in fields related to watchmaking such as mechanical cutting, micromechanics, equipment and microtechniques. It was nationalized in 1891 and then belonged to the very small elite goup of the Professional National Schools that influenced the future industrial development of the country. In 1933 it moved into sparkling-new premises and was acknowledged as the flagship of technical education in France : it offered a large number of innovating courses ranging from the skilled worker to the engineer and was granted the latest equipments in every field. The path of this new school also enhanced a « humane » and « prosopographical » history ; it highlighted the part played by the numerous former students who created their own successful businesses. Being faithful to their old school they contributed to the renown and economic growth and prosperity of the city and its region… Beyond the local impact we must regard the history of the watchmaking schools as an important part of the history of Technical Education in France. To meet the needs of a soaring watchmaking industry they opened the way to the transfer of professional training from apprenticeship in workshops with its observed shortcomings to education in technical high schools. Their pedagogical innovations, the strong support of their former students created a vital school-business link that still lives on in the collective memory of the town inhabitants.In 1974 its name changed to Lycée Jules Haag thus losing any reference to watchmaking. Let us now try and understand the strong influence and success of those watchmaking schools, the active part they played in the economic industrial prosperity of a town and its surrounding region…

Skill learning is very important for technological education. The purposes of technician competition are not only to motivate student’s interests on skill learning but also to make teachers value skill teaching. The objects of study are senior high school teachers who were rewarded for industrial electronics category of national industry-related skills competition. The purpose of research is to build the successful training mode of industrial electronics from teacher’s viewpoint. The method of this study is by Kathy Charmaz(2006) who mentioned Constructing Grounded Theory. At first we probe into the records and make the basic interview to build the basic structures of theory, and then we divide the whole training plan into five stages: 1. Before training, analyze the related requirement of competition. 2. Choose contestants. 3. Make training plan. 4. Carry out training. 5. Get the feedback and evaluation. According to these five structures of theory, we can develop the outline of the formal interview. Then we start to have a half-structured and in-depth interview with teachers who were awarded the golden hand award more than three times within ten years and teachers who awarded more than two times within five years. From the interviews, we will know their training ways and skills, and finally, we can make use of Grounded Theory to generalize the information we collected and build the successful training mode. The result of the research provides senior high vocational schools teachers some ways to train contestants and teach skills. It’s also helpful for senior high vocational schools students to advance their skill learning. The research is in accordance with information of Grounded Theory to draw a conclusion. The first step is to summarize forty concepts from the process of open coding. From these categories, we analyze the whole training process and then develop a point for attention for the successful training mode. The second step is to generalize sixteen main categories from axial coding. These subjects include as follows: analysis of examination questions, understanding skills that students need in competition, training teacher’s professional skills, the resource that school provide, the help from different industries, the process and ways to choose contestant, the characteristic of contestant, the training material, time for training, the training strategies, teachers and students’ communication, teacher’s training ways, the help from others, training process and skills, evaluation, and sharing experiences. There are factors to develop the main subjects of the successful training mode. The third step is to extract five core categories from selecting coding. The categories include analyze the demand before training, select contestant, make training plan, carry out the training plan, and evaluation. We connect the whole training structure and process to construct the successful training mode for national industry.

The educational goal of industrial vocational schools(IVS) is to cultivate basic-level technicians. IVS students are able to receive effective technical drills in practice classes. Therefore, this study developed a learning platform, called Learning Management System(LMS), in a practice factory, utilizing competency-based teaching design for an IVS electronics practical training course as an example. According to personal learning progress, students can download teaching materials anytime anywhere through LMS to help them learn and to communicate with teachers efficiently. After classes, through LMS not only can students review their course work, but teachers can also realize how students learned by the learning records stored in LMS to accomplish adaptive learning. Furthermore, in order to achieve reusablilty as well as interoperability, teaching materials of this study were designed based on Sharable Content Object Reference Model(SCORM) distance learning standard to solve the difficulties of digital learning material development and employment in interoperability and reuse, and to establish Learning Content Management System(LCMS) data base to collect SCORM learning materials. This thesis established a three-tier Mobile Learning System(MLS), combining users, M-Learning Application Server and M-Learning Database Server, and designed a competency-based M-learning teaching system, thus creating a pervasive learning environment. Keywords: SCORM, adaptive learning, LMS, LCMS, M-Learning

Saudi Arabia is embarking on large scale training to bring its national workforce to international standards (Nitaqat). International providers are generally employed for face-toface course delivery, using packaged course material. However, non-Saudi trainers generally lack understanding of the Saudi norms, and therefore misinterpret trainees’ responses. This study follows Al Gahtani’s (2002) call for research into factors impeding effective training and career development. The research problem therefore concerns the existence, frequency and efficacy of employee training in Saudi firms. The objective of this research is to investigate factors impeding employee training and thus career development of Saudis, and to recommend practices that lead to improved outcomes for the firms and the individuals.

Impacted by the domestic economic recession, the unemployment rate has risen gradually since 1994. At the same time, the lacking of basic labor force has also become an essential issue for many traditional enterprises that run labor-intensive industries. So it must rely on importing foreign labor to fill up the shortage of local labor force. It shows that Taiwan has a lot of labor resources to be developed while this phenomenon of two existing issues of both high unemployment rate and shortage of labor force. Especially for those weak groups who are usually ignored, such as aborigines and so on. Therefore, to solve aboriginal employment problem, we have to consider, in the meanwhile, the hiring needs of enterprises and the lifting of the working ability of aborigines by associating with the public vocational training and school educations, thus assist the aborigines be employed smoothly. Under the effective planning of industries, governments, and academies, Formosa Plastics Corporations（FPC）has created a successful model, a combination of recruitment, training, and practical operations, to train aborigines to work for them by providing a public training program that combined with the contributions from three parties, the Employment and Vocational Training Administration of Council of Labor Affairs, the Committee of Indigenous Peoples, and Min-Chi Technical College. This model can be called a paradigm of utilizing the aboriginal human resources. It is worthy for other enterprises to utilize the aboriginal workforce. This research focuses on the actual need of enterprises in EPZs in Kaohsiung area. This report is summarized from the collection of data analysis, and investigation with questionnaire etc., and examines how the enterprises in EPZs in Kaohsiung area promote the aboriginal work opportunities by using FPC’s model. The results show that EPZs enterprises hire new employees without any discrimination against aborigines. On the contrary, they all agreed that this cooperation model of workforce utilization could hire the aborigines. But they declare that governments should pay for the training costs, and the content of training has to meet the demand of industry needs as well as emphases on the occupational concepts and employee disciplines. Besides, it is necessary to strengthen the understanding and acknowledgement on both training budget application and the measurement of government policy towards the aboriginal work opportunities after introducing the foreign laborers to Taiwan. The following suggestions are based on the above conclusions: 1. All enterprises in EPZs in Kaohsiung area need to re-evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of hiring foreign laborers. In the mean while, it should consider hiring aborigines as the first priority. 2. The Administration Offices of EPZs in Kaohsiung area should play the role of taking the responsibility to activate the training model among governments, schools and enterprises in related matching works so as to promote aboriginal employment. 3. The Council of Labor Affairs should enhance the foreign labor evaluation mechanism to ban hiring the substitutive foreign laborers so that it can protect the aborigine’s work opportunities in consideration of their working rights. 4. The Council of Labor Affairs has also to simplify the process of every training fund application that will be used to help aboriginal employment. 5. Schools had better be responsible for training aborigines to fully utilize of school facilities and teacher’s resources. 6. For the purpose of obtaining appreciations from employers, aborigines have to change their life style and bad habits after getting jobs by building up correct occupational concepts and disciplines in order to adapt to the new working environment that they will be facing.

The research findings are as follows: 1. Vocational high school students display a high level of satisfaction regarding their performance in the following five aspects of taking a test: motivation to learn, learning attitude, learning strategies, learning environment, and effects of obtaining a certificate. 2. Only two factors among the five learning-related factors concerning vocational high school students who engage in the training for skill certification of C-grade Industrial Wiring show significant difference: learning attitude and effects of obtaining a certificate, when students from different schools. 3. The five dependent variables: motivation to learn, learning attitude, learning strategies, learning environment, and effects of obtaining a certificate are highly correlated. The results of the study help to understand the factors that students participate in the license course, and can be used as an important reference for teachers in the license course.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been used widely across the globe for the purpose of improving the quality of both basic and higher education. Lately, different kinds of technologies, such as smart boards, have been incorporated into the teaching and learning process with the aim to contribute to the effectiveness of teaching and learning outcomes. The main aim of this study was to investigate the integration of smart boards by secondary school teachers in the Tshwane West district (Gauteng province) in their business studies teachings. The study focused on the teachers’ perspectives, the challenges they experienced, and the support they required for the integration of smart boards in the classroom. The study used a qualitative research approach to gather and analyse data. Using a multiple case study design, 5 business studies teachers were purposive sampled based on their experience on the use of smart boards. Both semi-structured interviews and non-participant observations were used to collect evidence. Technological and Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) was used as a framework by which to understand the study. The four pillars of trustworthiness (credibility, transferability, confirmability, and dependability) were applied to ensure trustworthiness of the study results. The ethics guidelines (voluntarily participation, anonymity, confidentiality, and informed consent) were also taken into consideration and applied. The main research question for this study was: How do secondary school teachers integrate smart boards in teaching business studies in the Tshwane West district? The findings suggested that business studies teachers have positive perspectives on the integration of smart boards with the belief that smart boards make their teaching easier and allow them to incorporate a variety of audio and visual material into a lesson. The findings also revealed that teachers face various challenges, such as smart board malfunctioning, computer viruses, and limited time given for the integration of smart boards in the classroom. From the findings, it was clear that teachers had received professional development training on smart board integration, but that the training was inadequate. Despite the challenges that business studies teachers face during the integration of smart boards, the findings of this study indicated that teachers still had an interest in and were willing to integrate smart boards into the classroom. The study recommended that teachers should be provided with sufficient professional development on the integration of smart boards in a business studies classroom, which would improve the level of competency of teachers on smart board integration in the teaching and learning process.
