Career Competencies

Career education concepts have been integrated into the curriculum at a primary school in Brisbane. Essential elements of relevant syllabus documents were identified and used as the basis of planned career education strategies. The existing curriculum was examined in the light of career competencies. All career-related learning that had already formed part of the education experience of the students was identified and grouped under the three main areas of competencies of the Australian Blueprint for Career Development. A three-year program of annual career days has been implemented, with a strong curriculum basis to enhance the children's understanding as they learn about different careers. By integrating career development competencies into the school curriculum, teachers, parents and students have embraced career education.

This paper studies the history of dance education in Manipur and social value, psychomotor domain, and creative development of students at the school curriculum in Manipur (India). Dance education plays an essential role in molding a person into a perfect human being with good health and behaviour in society. It also furnishes the essential elements humans need to live in our society other than imparting knowledge and skills. In overall development, Manipuri dance plays the most crucial role in the school curriculum. The descriptive research method used in this study revealed the importance and the role of dance education for the four upper primary school students, i.e., class VI to class VIII of Imphal West District and Imphal East District, where dance class had been adopted as one of the subjects in these schools. The 915 students have been taken from the following four schools: Kendriya Vidyalaya-Lamphelpat, Tolchou Ibeton Memorial Academy-Hiyangthang, Rajkumari Sanatombi Devi Vidyalaya-Haotal Pangei, and SL Arena of Learning-Khurai Khaidem Leikai. The researcher collected 70% of students’ respondents, of which 287 are males and 343 are females out of 630 students. Finally, the investigator has found that the social value of students is significantly improving due to dance education. Dance education helped in realizing one’s own potential for self-enhancement, confidence, problem-solving, and creativity among the students. Moreover, it also developed and enhanced the psychomotor domain and the students’ creativity to a certain extent. Thus, dance education should be made compulsory as a curriculum subject at all levels of schools.

Change Principles

Some principles are key to any change process and considering them in practice make the change process effective. The advocators for "down-up" change believe that the thoughts and ideas of individuals with practical and direct experience of the situation are more effective for making change. As main actors of curriculum, teachers have beneficial views on change plans. This survey aimed to investigate the primary school teachers' viewpoints on the compatibility between Iran's Primary School Curriculum changes and the 12 Curriculum Change Principles. Finding showed that in Iran's primary school curriculum, the principles relating to learning as an agent needed for change (principle 1), intervention for making change (principle 5), district and school-based leadership as an essential elements of long-term change success (principle 7), systematic view on change (principle 11), considering the school as the primary organizational unit for change (principle 3) and focus on objectives (principle 12) are highly considered. However, organizational and individual roles in making change (principle 4) and appropriate intervention role in reducing resistance to change (principle 4) are less considered by the subjects. Some differences were significant based on other background variables, too.

Along with the rising concerns of career education in school, the government in South Korea has increased investments for closing the opportunity gap in career education. However, limited studies explored the equity in students’ outcomes of career education. Focusing on career development competencies, we examined if school career education could reduce the socio-economic disparities in the career development of high school students. We used the ordinary least squares (OLS) regression applying school-fixed effects with the representative data from the Korean Education and Employment Panel II. Findings showed that parental education level was positively linked to career development competencies of high school students, though household income was not shown as statistically significant. We also found that for students who engaged in career and vocational classes in school, the parental education level was less likely to be related to their career development competencies. Also, students who were more satisfied with school career education showed a weaker relationship between career development competencies and parental education level. Based on these findings, we discussed the role of school-based career education to narrow the gap in students’ career development from socio-economic backgrounds.

Group Interviews

This paper examines the processes of career development experienced by children and adolescents in the school age groups: preschool, infant, primary, secondary and post-compulsory. The data was gathered through focus group interviews and was analysed to determine the subjects' understanding and experience of career development. The findings established that career development is experienced and understood by subjects of all school age groups, and that it is affected by a complex array of influences. The study clearly establishes the processes of career development experienced by the children and adolescents in the study. As a result, it is recommended that career education be included in the school curriculum from preschool to the postcompulsory school years, and that career decision making and career education be set within the broader context of career development.
