Analysis of Factors Influencing the Employment Motivation of Rural Students in Agricultural Vocational Education – The Example of an Agricultural Vocational School in Chifeng

In recent years, Chinese national investment in vocational education has increased, especially in rural areas. However, the large amount of investment has not contributed to the promotion of the quality of vocational education.

At the same time, this paper proposes to change the status quo by combining education with information technology.

THE BASIS OF THE COMPONENT OF THE COMBAT TRAINING OF THE FUTURE OFFICER IS THE PROFESSIONAL AND APPLIED PHYSICAL TRAINING OF THE CADET

Improving the process of physical education of cadets of military universities of Kazakhstan is an urgent problem, in solving which it is necessary to take into account the professional and applied orientation of their training in relation to specific types of service and combat activities and diverse climatic and geographical conditions, because insufficiently developed physical abilities often hinder the mastery of professional skills. Along with the general applied orientation of the system of physical education in military universities of Kazakhstan, it is necessary to provide special profiling of classes in relation to combat training – specific types of service activities and upcoming service in various terrain (in the steppe, in the mountains, in the forest). Most types of professional activities of military personnel are generally inaccessible without prior physical training, therefore, targeted physical training improves the quality of vocational training and at the same time gives a significant economic effect, since the time and material costs for training appropriately qualified personnel are reduced.

Dual Based Assessment in Improving the Quality of Skills at the Center of Excellence Vocational School

This research is motivated by various problems related to the quality and relevance of Indonesian education which are the main issues. Indicators of quality education are marked by graduates who have superior competencies and are able to compete in the business world and industry for graduates from Vocational Secondary Education. Quality vocational education applying quality standards can contribute to the country's economic development, but it still cannot be realized optimally at the time of its implementation. Such conditions occur in SMK graduates in Indonesia so that the open unemployment of SMK graduates is getting bigger.

Problems of developing entrepreneurial competence of students in vocational educational institutions of Ukraine

The problems of developing entrepreneurial competence among graduates of vocational education are relevant due to the economic crisis, the challenges of wartime, the need to reform the education system, its harmonization with the EU educational system. The purpose of the theoretical research is to determine the pedagogical problems of the development of entrepreneurial competence of students in institutions of vocational education in Ukraine after 2014 and until now. Theoretical (analysis, comparison, classification, systematization of data) and empirical research methods (interviews and observations) were used to identify such problems as youth employment, mobility; the content and quality of vocational education; readiness of vocational teachers to implement the competence approach in the educational process; adaptation of the educational process; the content, theory and practice in education; state standards in vocational education; low prestige of vocational education in society; legislation of Ukraine for self-employment, deregulation in business; harmonization of the professional education system of Ukraine with EU education.

Big Data Analysis Model for Vocational Education Employment Rate Prediction

Vocational education is an important means to promote the development of the national manufacturing industry. To correctly grasp the relationship between vocational education and the labor market, we start with the quality of vocational education and employment rate and study the interconnection between them. To this end, we propose a vocational education employment rate prediction method based on a big data model and build a vocational education quality assessment and employment rate prediction system. We draw on the big data cross-learning model to improve the model hyperparameters by using generalized intersection sets on the joint loss function to compensate for the shortcomings of dense vocational education datasets. We use the GSA algorithm to enhance the local features of different vocational education quality assessment index data series. To scientifically assess the recognition of vocational education, we evaluate the vocational education assessment indexes at the student level and the parent level to verify the reliability of the experiment. The experimental results prove that our method performs best in the prediction accuracy of vocational education quality assessment indicators, and the prediction accuracy rate stays above 91%. In the prediction of vocational education employment rate, the difference between the predicted and actual values of our method is the smallest, and the difference stays within 1%. Compared with other big data models, our method has higher prediction accuracy and better robustness.

Needs Assessment in Quality Improvement Management in Vocational Education (Case Study in Southwest Sumba, Indonesia)

Purpose: The existing vocational education resources in Southwest Sumba do not yet have the appropriate quality, both from the aspect of collaboration to the output produced, in terms of graduates from related vocational education. Therefore, an approach related to needs assessment is needed to obtain input related to the quality development of vocational education from all stakeholders involved.
 Research Methodology: To provide improvement suggestions to enhance the quality of vocational education, this study conducted a needs assessment which was carried out using desk reviews, focus group discussions, interviews, and field observations and involved various stakeholders come from regulators, implementers, and vocational education graduates’ users.
 Results: Based on the needs assessment that has been conducted, four main problems were found, including the number of irrelevant vocational education institutions with the needs, a limited number of local industries as graduates' users, less government commitment as a regulator, and less quality of graduated. Several solutions can be applied, such as creating a partnership forum with industries, enabling the internship opportunity, developing a skill development center, and implementing a teaching factory at existing vocational education.
 Limitations: In this study, the involved stakeholders in the assessment tend to be incomplete, where students' perspectives as a product of vocational education cannot be accommodated and concluded properly.
 Contribution: This research hopefully can be a reference in quality improvement management, especially in vocational education, and beneficial for vocational education development and, in a broad sense, education.
