This book draws on experiences from a range of vocational education systems in different nation states and re-examines the purpose of providing experiences outside educational institutions; the kinds and extent of those experiences; and efforts made to ensure the integration of students’ experiences across sites. Analyses of the various vocational education systems, their purposes and practices across nations, and challenges experienced by different stakeholders illustrate different approaches to the integration of learning at different sites. The book includes a consideration of what constitutes the integration and reconciliation of experiences, and their attendant educational implications. This extends an appraisal of the concepts of integration, reconciliation, curriculum and work readiness, each of which has a range of connotations. Integration or reconciliation is differentiated from transfer of learning, which is commonly based on simple assumptions that the educational institutions will provide theory and that the workplaces will provide practice from the workplaces, and that the two can be easily linked by students. The contributions from different nation states clearly demonstrate that integration is a collaborative process and requires the agency of stakeholders operating at global, national and specific learning site levels.

In January 1982 the Further Education Curriculum Review and Development Unit (FEU) published a discussion paper dealing with the issues involved in expanding and improving Great Britain's vocational training and educational system. Following its publication and dissemination of the paper, the FEU sent a letter asking the major further and higher education (FHE) validating and training bodies to respond formally to the discussion paper. Responses were received from 17 FHE validating bodies concerning the extent to which they supported the points set forth in the discussion paper and the role that they hoped to play in the progression of the country's vocational education and training system. The responses indicated a general support for the notion that the issue of the progression of vocational training is crucial to the success of the vocational program. Analysis of the various practices that individual agencies both hope to and are currently implementing to facilitate progression reveals two major obstacles to progression, the lack of a coherent government policy on vocational preparation and the persistence of the idea that vocational preparation is a temporary phenomenon. (Appended to the report are the text of the FEU document, the individual agency responses to the document, and a common core of skills for vocational preparation.) (MN)
