Authors: Lo Chan, Woon-ching, Eliza
Abstract: The performance indicator for training for open employment is on how successfully the trainee is being employed in a job. Other than providing the job skills required which was always the emphasis in the vocational training, there are other issues, equally important, that should be addressed to prepare the trainees to enter into the competitive open job market. Independent and social skills should be strengthened through programmed activities. Attention should also be paid to minimize the mismatch between skills training and job opportunities to the trainees. Based on the provision in the skills centres for the people with disabilities aiming at training for open employment in Hong Kong, this paper identifies the areas and shares the experience of how the support service is rendered to enhance the employability of the trainees.2000-01-01T00:00:00Z邁向成長路 : 智能障礙靑少年的職業訓練http://vpet.vtc.edu.hk/dspace/handle/999/5602017-06-27T06:52:24Z2002-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: 邁向成長路 : 智能障礙靑少年的職業訓練

Abstract: To find ways to enhance the learning of academically disadvantaged students across mainstream and vocational education settings is of increasing concern to researchers and practitioners. Based on Biggs' 3P learning model, the present study tested the predictive roles of three important psychological variables, namely academic self-concept, perceived control and approaches to learning in affecting academic achievement of low-achieving Chinese secondary students in vocational education. Results showed that compared to approaches to learning and perceived control, academic self-concept was the most significant variable predicting academic achievement of vocational students. In addition, the predictive relation between academic self-concept and academic achievement appeared to be subject-specific (e.g., English self-concept is a better predictor of English achievement compared with math self-concept). Taking consideration of both the low-achievement background and low subject-specific self-concept of vocational students, academic self-concept enhancement interventions are highlighted and discussed in relation to the pivotal role of positive academic self-concept in learning achievement and other desirable educational outcomes.2014-01-01T00:00:00Z
