THE GEORGIA TECHNICAL COLLEGE ADMINISTRATORS' PERCEPTIONS OF THE FUTURE VOCATIONAL AND ACADEMIC ROLES OF GEORGIA'S TECHNICAL COLLEGES by THOMAS ENNIS BRAGG (Under the direction of Michael D. Richardson) ABSTRACT In 2000 the Georgia General Assembly passed House Bill 1187 giving the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE) schools the right to change their names from technical institutes to technical colleges. This event could have led to a change in the type and method of delivery of course offerings at the technical colleges in Georgia. This study was designed to examine the technical college administrators' perceptions of the future vocational or academic roles of Georgia's technical colleges. A 21 question survey was designed to assess the administrators’ perceptions of the future vocational and academic role of the 35 technical colleges in Georgia. The survey was mailed to the 70 presidents and vice-presidents of instruction at each of the 35 technical colleges in Georgia. Forty-seven responses were received representing a 67% response rate. Two items were found to be statistically significant. However, the overall results indicated that there was essentially no difference in responses between presidents and vice-presidents of instruction, and between rural and urban respondents. The responses indicated an inclination for the addition of academics into the workforce training, which is currently the mission of the DTAE. Many respondents felt a community college system would be better suited for the needs of today's students. 2 INDEX WORDS: Technical College, Name Change, Vocational Training, Community College, Technical School, Technical College Administrators, Perceptions 3 THE GEORGIA TECHNICAL COLLEGE ADMINISTRATORS' PERCEPTIONS OF THE FUTURE VOCATIONAL AND ACADEMIC ROLES OF GEORGIA'S TECHNICAL COLLEGES by THOMAS ENNIS BRAGG M.M.E., University of Georgia, 1972 B.M., University of Georgia, 1970 A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Georgia Southern University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF EDUCATION STATESBORO, GEORGIA 2005 4 ©2005 Thomas Ennis Bragg All Rights Reserved 5 THE GEORGIA TECHNICAL COLLEGE ADMINISTRATORS' PERCEPTIONS OF THE FUTURE VOCATIONAL AND ACADEMIC ROLES OF GEORGIA'S TECHNICAL COLLEGES by THOMAS ENNIS BRAGG Major Professor: Michael D.

  • Classifying Educational Programmes
    Classifying Educational Programmes Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries 1999 Edition ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Foreword As the structure of educational systems varies widely between countries, a framework to collect and report data on educational programmes with a similar level of educational content is a clear prerequisite for the production of internationally comparable education statistics and indicators. In 1997, a revised International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference. This multi-dimensional framework has the potential to greatly improve the comparability of education statistics – as data collected under this framework will allow for the comparison of educational programmes with similar levels of educational content – and to better reflect complex educational pathways in the OECD indicators. The purpose of Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries is to give clear guidance to OECD countries on how to implement the ISCED-97 framework in international data collections. First, this manual summarises the rationale for the revised ISCED framework, as well as the defining characteristics of the ISCED-97 levels and cross-classification categories for OECD countries, emphasising the criteria that define the boundaries between educational levels. The methodology for applying ISCED-97 in the national context that is described in this manual has been developed and agreed upon by the OECD/INES Technical Group, a working group on education statistics and indicators representing 29 OECD countries. The OECD Secretariat has also worked closely with both EUROSTAT and UNESCO to ensure that ISCED-97 will be implemented in a uniform manner across all countries.

  • E Ects of Georgia's University System Consolidations
    Better Outcomes Without Increased Costs? Eects of Georgia's University System Consolidations Lauren Russell∗ November 28, 2018 Abstract Declining state appropriations for higher education have prompted consolidations within nu- merous public university systems. Using administrative data from the University System of Georgia, I investigate the eects of recent consolidations on educational quality and eciency. Comparing cohorts matriculating after consolidations to similar cohorts at non-consolidated insti- tutions reveals that consolidation increases retention rates and the fraction of students graduating on-time with four-year degrees. Spending data and conversations with USG administrators sug- gest that increased spending on academic support (advising), made possible by economies of scale in student services, are likely responsible for the gains.
