Techniques and Methods of Teaching in Career and Technical Education - Paperback

by Stephen Zira Bugi (Author)

Career and Technical Education (CTE) is for all practical purposes education for work as well as progress in both the world of work, and academics. People work because they need to work. The need usually is economic; however it may be for social as well as for psychological needs. Work is an essential part of man's life since it is that aspect of life which gives status and allows a person to become a part of the society. Teachers are workers and need to work for the above listed reasons. Teachers train workers who should possess all the competencies needed to function effectively, as well as progress in the occupation and employment of their choice. Not only that, they must be interested in such occupations. The realization that career and technical education is work oriented and progress bound makes this form of education very relevant for all developing and under developed nations.
