Trends in Career and Technical Education Research

Abstract

Hutchinson and Lovell (2004) observed that professional journals serve an important function.They offer a mechanism by which professionals communicate ideas, stimulate discussion (as well as controversy), and share information, often in the form of research findings‖ (p.383).Given the key role peer-reviewed journals play in the development, promotion, and maintenance of a profession, periodic examinations of scholarly journals are a widely-reported practice across education and social science professions (Bangert & Baumberger, 2005;Elmore & Woehlke, 1998;Goodwin & Goodwin, 1985;Rojewski, 1997).Career and technical education is an integral part of secondary and postsecondary public education and is designed to educate about, through, and for careers.Career technical education provides students and adults with the technical skills, knowledge and training necessary to succeed in specific occupations and careers.It also prepares students for the world of work by introducing them to workplace competencies that are essential no matter what career they choose.And, career technical education takes academic content and makes it accessible to students by providing it in a hands-on context.(National Association of State Directors of Career Technical Education Consortium, 2003, p. 1)
