Apprenticeships and sustainable growth of family businesses: A regional assessment

A practical government policy on apprenticeship is a requirement to continuously advance and encourage the company toward top performance and adaptability for a long-term sustainability. In Nigeria, which has a significant young unemployment problem, apprenticeship has emerged as a key to reducing youth unemployment. Thus, sustainability of family businesses is a source of employment, and continuing apprenticeship practices have also raised the likelihood that an individual will obtain employment in the southern regions of Nigeria. This study aimed to examine how job creation, vocational and technical training, and apprentice competences aid in sustaining family business growth in southern Nigeria. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey and stratified sampling technique; a sample included 329 apprentices in 48 SMEs in southern regions of Nigeria. Using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire, data were analyzed using a normality test, linearity test, and multicollinearity test to ascertain the adequacy of the data. Correlation analysis was used to test the hypotheses. Findings revealed that job creation is related to sustainable family business growth; however, the strength of the correlation, though weak (30.0%), was statistically significant; a significant degree of association also existed between apprentice vocational training and sustainable family business growth; lastly, apprentice competences relate significantly to sustainable family business growth (72.1%, p < 0.05). The study concluded that continuous apprenticeship practices influence the objective of business growth as a pivot for socioeconomic development and a long-term sustainability of family businesses. Acknowledgment The authors would like to sincerely appreciate the Editor-in-Chief and Reviewer(s) for their helpful comments that, in our view, have helped significantly to improve the quality of the manuscript.

Designing for epistemic justice: Epistemic apprenticeship as an institutional commitment

This paper develops the concept of epistemic apprenticeship as a response to failures among privileged social actors to perceive the knowledge bases of unjustly marginalised groups as sources of valuable insight. Inspired by Elizabeth Spelman’s reflections on apprenticeship and intersectional feminism, an epistemic apprenticeship represents an obverse form of apprenticeship; one in which socially privileged knowers become apprentices to those who do not enjoy equivalent power and privilege. This paper critiques and extends Spelman’s account of apprenticeship by focussing on how the institutional sedimentation of dominant social imaginaries works against the volitional and virtuous practice of apprenticeship, and by exploring what a commitment to epistemic apprenticeship demands at the level of institutional practice. As part of this discussion, I scrutinise the conditions under which institutionalised apprenticeships may fall short of their meliorative potential, and may obstruct rather than aid efforts to achieve greater epistemic justice.

The viability of diverting from a linear to a parallel approach to the development of PCK in technology teacher education

The continual trend of the declining number of prospective student teachers in technology education necessitated a revisit and investigation of the entrance requirement (for technology teacher education) of having studied technology as a school subject. Subsequently a small scale, longitudinal, quasi-experimental research project was adopted with the aim to increase the number of prospective student teachers in technology education. As part of the project technology student teachers had to take the school subject in parallel together with the development of discipline knowledge within the broader development of their PCK. However, the viability of such a parallel approach of taking the school subject and developing discipline knowledge simultaneously was unknown. The purpose of the study was to determine the viability of technology student teachers taking the school subject technology and developing discipline knowledge simultaneously within the broader development of their PCK. The main research question was: What is the viability of technology student teachers taking the school subject technology and developing discipline knowledge simultaneously within the broader development of their PCK? The population consisted of the technology student teachers who enrolled for the 4-year pre-service teacher education qualification for the first time in 2016 and 2017, and a mixed-method research approach was followed. The qualitative findings did not indicate important differences in student experience between students with or without Engineering Graphics and Design (EGD) in year 12 for both cohorts. The quantitative findings indicated that although the students from both Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 who had studied EGD in year 12 achieved statistically significantly higher marks at the end of their first year than those who did not have EGD in year 12, students without EGD in year 12 from both cohorts also completed their second year successfully. It was found that the parallel approach to PCK development in technology teacher education seems to be viable to increase the number of prospective technology student teachers, with the requirement that it happens within a social constructivist, co-operative learning environment with ample opportunities for cognitive and practical apprenticeship in a community of practice.

Особенности преподавания народного искусства в вузе

The paper deals with the topical issues of teaching woodcarving, a kind of folk art, to students at a university. The increased interest in modern society to handmade items, crafts, and traditions, the theoretical and practical research, the analysis of relevant sources and facts help the authors discuss the subject matter based on personal teaching practices and field studies of the Folk Art and Crafts Department at Krasnodar State Institute of Culture. The research describes the main types of woodcarving in the Kuban region and presents the findings of ethnographic expeditions carried out within the Krasnodar Territory. The systematic interaction with different museum pieces has ample opportunities for the educational process in the context of high information and communication technology. The paper focuses on the importance of field research conducted by students supervised by teachers and collaboration between students and folk craftsmen when learning woodcarving. The peculiarity of this art determines the specific nature of its teaching and mastering, its historical and technical aspects. The authors conclude that first students should study and systematize the available information on woodcarving and examine its varieties. Then students should gradually master different woodcarving techniques with the help of folk craftsmen, thereby combining academic training and mastership and apprenticeship practices of folk education based on relevant scientific literature and tradition.

Learning from the Past: Entrepreneurship through Apprenticeship for More Successful Outcomes

Current statistics show that 75-80% of most business start-ups tend to fail within the first three years. However, studies have shown that traditional methods of entrepreneurship, which are based on apprenticeship, record significantly higher success rates. This paper highlights the valuable traditional practice of apprenticeship, which effectively produced successful entrepreneurs, compared to today's high failure rate of start-ups. The paper allows a reflection on how to improve the success rates of business start-ups through the practice of apprenticeship along with classroom learning. Using the qualitative case study method, the paper provides researchers an opportunity to look into why hands-on learning tends to lead to more successful entrepreneurial outcomes, and to study what combination of theory and hands-on learning, via apprenticeship, will lead to a higher rate of successful entrepreneurial ventures. The paper thus has significant implications for both research and practice. The paper also allows practitioners obtain insights on best practices in transmitting entrepreneurial skills.
