Development of a Curriculum Delivery System for Individualizing Instruction in Vocational-Technical Education. Final Report. Volume I.
Mills, Joe D.
A two-year research activity was undertaken to develop an individualized curriculum delivery system for competency-based vocational education. Foci of the research were the development of a theoretical framework for the delivery system; identification of components and processes of the system; and development of validated criteria to be used in the selection, organization, and presentation of learning experiences. Instructional components and processes appropriate for the vocational setting and conducive to competency-based education were derived through field analysis and other methods and are described in the project's first product, "Individualizing Instruction for Competency-Based Education." The derived and individualized techniques were behaviorally described and validated with a sample of Florida vocational instructors. These techniques and guidelines for their use were described in the project's second product, "Delivering Competency-Based Vocational Education." The project resulted in curriculum delivery system which (1) addressed all aspects of the vocational curriculum, (2) was verified as practical by exemplary vocational teachers, and (3) provided the basis for conversion to an individualized competency-based instructional approach in vocational-technical education.
