| Abstract | Traditionally, education has been compartmentalized into academic subjects removed from everyday life, and education has been built on blocks going from the concrete to the abstract. However, humans often do not learn in that linear mode, and if they are to be prepared for the work world of the 1990s and beyond, they need a different model. Academic and vocational education must be integrated. Eight models for integrating vocational and academic education can be identified: (1) incorporating academic competencies into vocational courses; (2) combining academic and vocational teachers to incorporate academic competencies into vocational courses; (3) making the academic curriculum more vocationally relevant; (4) modifying the alignment of both academic and vocational education and curricula; (5) the Academy model; (6) replacing conventional departments with occupational clusters; (7) single-occupation high schools; and (8) electing career paths or occupational majors. The impact of any of these models will require changes in how colleges are now organized, and additional resources to develop materials and staff will be required. The integration of academic and vocational education, however, should not be viewed as the end in itself, but rather as a tool to be used to help increase the quality of education. The Developing a Curriculum (DACUM) process has been used by Waukesha County Technical College (Wisconsin) to develop programs and integrate academic and vocational education. (KC) |
