Pupils studying vocational courses need academic stimulus as well
Young people in Britain are having a hard time: on top of news about soaring university fees and ever increasing youth unemployment, students' future employers are now adding to their worries. Recent research from the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) revealed that 90% of public sector managers feel that young people are less employable than their counterparts 10 years ago, and 73% perceived school leavers' management and commercial skills as poor or very poor. The root of the problem seems to be the education system, which seven out of 10 managers believe is damaging the UK's economic performance. Public sector managers are not alone in their complaints.
Learning Outcomes
Most often we view results as the final outcome of an intervention that can easily be measured, such as reduced costs, customer satisfaction, improved quality, etc. However, often the results are going to be internal to the targeted individuals. These are known as learning outcomes or personal results. Kraiger, et. el. (1993) proposed that learning during training may be classified into one of three types of outcomes: cognitive, skill-based, and affective. In addition, each type of outcome includes particular categories and foci of measurement (the focus is on two points):

Outcomes Pyramid The assessment literature is full of terminology such as “mission”, “goals”, “objectives”, “outcomes”, etc. but lacking in a consensus on a precise meaning of each of these terms. Part of the difficulty stems from changes in approaches to education – shifts from objective-based, to competency-based, to outcomes-based, etc. education have taken place over the years with various champions of each espousing the benefits of using a different point of view. The Outcomes Pyramid shown below presents a pictorial clarification of the hierarchical relationships among several different kinds of goals, objectives, and outcomes that appear in assessment literature.
Importing Users into Active Directory from a CSV File Using PowerShell
There are two aspects to this post – first is the CSV file with the user data and then there’s the PowerShell script to import the data into Active Directory. As an example, this how-to post will only set the first name, last name, username and password values for our user objects. Preparing the CSV file A template of the CSV file with sample data can be downloaded here (save it with a .csv extension). Here’s what it looks like: Populate the CSV file with the user data, making sure you enter the Distinguished Name of the Organisational Unit in the OU field.
Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning Domains: The Cognitive Domain
Bloom's Taxonomy was created in 1956 under the leadership of educational psychologist Dr Benjamin Bloom in order to promote higher forms of thinking in education, such as analyzing and evaluating concepts, processes, procedures, and principles, rather than just remembering facts (rote learning). It is most often used when designing educational, training, and learning processes. The Three Domains of Learning The committee identified three domains of educational activities or learning (Bloom, et al. 1956): Cognitive: mental skills (knowledge) Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas (attitude or self) Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (skills) Since the work was produced by higher education, the words tend to be a little bigger than we normally use.

Active Learning For The College Classroom
The past decade has seen an explosion of interest among college faculty in the teaching methods variously grouped under the terms 'active learning' and 'cooperative learning'. However, even with this interest, there remains much misunderstanding of and mistrust of the pedagogical "movement" behind the words. The majority of all college faculty still teach their classes in the traditional lecture mode. Some of the criticism and hesitation seems to originate in the idea that techniques of active and cooperative learning are genuine alternatives to, rather than enhancements of, professors' lectures. We provide below a survey of a wide variety of active learning techniques which can be used to supplement rather than replace lectures.
