The Supremacy of Nyerere’s ESR Model over the other Suggested Models for Tanzanianizing Education

This article is mainly intended to show the supremacy of Nyerere’s Education for Self–Reliance (ESR) model over the different models that have been suggested as the means of Tanzanianizing education—the education which responds to the needs and problems of Tanzanians and train them to utilize their resources. For so long Tanzanians have been struggling seeking to Tanzanianize their education, hence they have tried to establish various models in order to achieve that long elusive goal but it seems that until now all the suggested models have limitations which made them fail to achieve Tanzanianized education. To demonstrate why each model failed, this work uses critical hermeneutical method revealing the limitations of each suggested model and see which of them seems perfect compared to others such that it can be recommended to be perfected so as to become a more suitable model for Tanzanianizing education. Immediately after independence in 1960s Nyerere suggested ESR model but was limited because it was too agricultural, hence led other Tanzanian thinkers to suggest Vocational Training Model (VTM), Pedagogical Model (PM), Entrepreneurial Education Model (EEM) and Market Policy Reform Model (MPRM) as alternatives. But, as the article shows, none of the suggested achieved the goal of Tanzanianizing education. They all have greater limitations. In this case, with its limitations Nyerere’s ESR is found superior compared to the other suggested models and is recommended to be further modified so as to become a more suitable model for Tanzanianizing education. By doing so, this study helps education stake holders including policy makers, teachers, students, politicians and the ministry of education to scrutinize on how Nyerere’s ESR is a more suitable model compared to others, hence, should be perfected to become a relevant model for Tanzanianizing education.

Innovative Teaching Strategies: A Breakthrough to Traditional Teaching IN Secondary Vocational Schools

With the reform of China's education sector, secondary vocational schools have begun to notice the shortcomings of the traditional teaching model. Although the traditional teaching mode is very advantageous for teaching students' theoretical knowledge, the practical knowledge still stays at the book level, which is not in line with the cultivation goal of vocational and technical education. Therefore, the traditional vocational and technical education model does not meet the current social demand for students' employment. The research design used in this study was quantitative descriptive and the participants were teachers from secondary vocational and technical schools in Jilin Province, totaling 35. The results of the study showed that the practice of using innovative strategies for classroom instruction, by introducing a project-based teaching methodology that allows students to explore and learn knowledge by engaging in real-world projects, not only promotes high-quality vocational-technical education, but also is in line with the direction of the development of vocational-technical education. The results of this study will also contribute to the innovation of teaching strategies and may also influence the localized vocational and technical education teaching model to provide some reference suggestions.

Exploration and efficiency assessment of the management model of higher vocational education with poa concepts

Abstract Current vocational high school management practices suffer from low efficiency, mainly due to inadequate backing from pertinent educational theories. In this study, the POA concept is first used as a guideline for the innovation of the management mode of higher vocational education, and 30 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions in China are taken as the research objects. Then, based on the output and input indicators, we constructed the efficiency assessment system of education management, used the DEA model to make static measurements of education management efficiency in 2020-2022, and further analyzed the dynamic evolution trend of the efficiency of higher vocational education management by using the Malmquist index. According to the results, less than 50% of higher vocational colleges and universities are classified as non-DEA practical situations. For these higher vocational colleges and universities, their input redundancy and output insufficiency are analyzed, in which the two input indicators of total public expenditure and the number of administrative personnel of decision-making unit 1 are insufficient. The input insufficiency rate is 13.43% and 73.01%, respectively. According to the input and output of each higher vocational college or university, the corresponding solution measures are proposed to improve the efficiency of educational management of higher vocational.

Constructing an AI-driven teacher training model for vocational education: teachers’ information literacy and teaching competence at the same time

Abstract With the integration of various emerging technologies represented by artificial intelligence into the field of education, the education sector has set off a research boom in wisdom education, forming a series of new forms of education such as wisdom classrooms and wisdom teaching. This paper takes education informatics as the connecting point to sort out the logical connection between teachers’ information literacy and smart education. The intelligent system, various subjects, and complicated knowledge domains are united to form a specific objective relationship and multivariate correlation network to construct a specific field of AI-enabled teacher training. Embedding the training process of vocational education teachers in each stage of the AI-assisted teacher training system, we examined their learning mood, concentration, and the impact on their information literacy ability under AI-driven. AI-driven interactions at all stages could greatly awaken learners’ emotions, which could enable teachers to focus more on training, as shown in the results. In addition, the composite mean value of teachers’ information literacy under AI-driven was 4.10, which was significantly higher than that of 3.42 before use (p<0.001). AI technology-enabled vocational teacher training can be a significant direction for teacher training reform.

The impact of strengthening practical teaching in vocational education on improving students’ employability

Abstract Practice teaching is an important part of the teaching system and plays a pivotal role in improving the quality of talent training. The study outlines the mechanism by which practical teaching affects students’ employability in vocational education and proposes a practical teaching model for vocational education. We analyze the implementation of teaching practices in vocational education from the perspectives of teachers and students, using a vocational undergraduate college in GX City as the object of investigation. On this basis, relevant components of practice teaching are selected, research hypotheses about practice teaching and students’ employability enhancement are designed, and after collecting data, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis are carried out to explore the role of practice teaching in influencing students’ employability enhancement. Students generally believe that the current practical teaching is insufficient in internship and practice (59.12%) and cannot mobilize learning interest (48.72%) and that the effect of practical teaching needs to be improved through the adjustment of teaching mode. All variables of practical teaching had a significant positive effect on the improvement of students’ employability (P<0.01) and explained 65.1% of the improvement of employability. The results of the study indicate that strengthening practical teaching in vocational education in terms of teaching program improvement, teaching base construction, teaching internship construction, teaching faculty formation, and teaching management standardization can improve the development of students’ employability.

Development of human resources strategy as an element of the educational potential of the enterprise

The article deals with the problem of human resources in Ukraine in connection with the migration of a significant part of the working population abroad. It is proved that an enterprise that can reprofile its employees will always have human capital since the ability to teach and retrain people is becoming key in the issue of labor shortage. The article examines the relevance of the issue of personnel outflow abroad on the example of the activities of the Husiatyn furniture factory "Elegant". In order to overcome the staff shortage, the author proposes long-term and short-term models of staffing. The conditions of cooperation with the Husiatyn Vocational College of Ternopil National Technical University named after Ivan Puluj on the conclusion of an agreement on joint training of personnel in two specialties "Carpenter" and "Seamstress" were studied. It was concluded that to immediately overcome the shortage of staff in blue-collar occupations, the management of the “Elegant” furniture factory should resort to the development and application of a short-term staffing strategy through a short-term training model. First of all, sewing was chosen to implement the plan. The budget of the short-term vocational training model is calculated. It has been substantiated that the implementation of this project on time will increase the efficiency of the sewing unit by 20% due to the process of staffing with sewing personnel. This will lead to an increase in the production of furniture products and an increase in sales. The link between long-term and short-term staffing models was established. Thus, for the public confidence of the employee, after a short-term vocational training at the furniture factory "Elegant", the management of the enterprise will offer the best personnel to enter the Husiatyn Professional College in this specialty at the expense of the factory. The condition for financing training at the educational institution will be the employee's obligation to work at the furniture factory for a period equal to the training period. It is established that it is advisable for Ukrainian manufacturers to develop a competitive economic strategy aimed at increasing labor potential. Proposals from business entities should be attractive and convincing to workers and act as a guarantee of staffing.
