Effective Teaching Characteristics in Vocational Education.

Type of degree.

Education Foundation, Leadership, and Technology

This study explored the students’ and instructors’ perception of effective teaching characteristics as well as investigating the distinction between them as perceived by 137 students and six instructors in a Community College in Southeastern United States. Convenience sampling method was used to select the population and sample of the study. Using the Teacher Behavior Checklist (TBC), students and instructors in vocational education were asked to rate the 28 teacher qualities that they considered effective teaching. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage and mean score), were used to explain the respondent preferences. In order to study the existence of any difference perception between both groups, a one-way MANOVA analysis of inferential statistics was used at .05 level of significant. An analysis of the results revealed students prefer their instructor to be confident, accessible, realistic and fair in testing and grading, knowledgeable about subject matter, good at listening, humble, punctual and manage class time. Instructors believe in order to be an effective teacher, these characteristics are more important; accessible, confident, creative and interesting, effective communicator, flexible/open minded, good listener, punctual and manage class time. Overall, both groups place a greater emphasize on instructional competency than personality/ interpersonal factors. The analysis of data found no statistical significant difference between students’ and instructors’ perception on effective teaching characteristics, both have strong agreement on seven out of 28 most effective characteristic: accessible, confident, good at listening, punctual and manage class time, strives to be a better teacher and technology competent. Both students and instructors have agreement on happy/ positive attitude/ humorous as a relatively least important characteristic. In conclusion, this exploratory study highlights the importance of instructors’ teaching competencies as effective characteristics in teaching in a vocational education setting.

Mahmood Ahmad Khan

India is recognized as one of the youngest nations in the world with over 50% of the population under 30 years. It is estimated that by about 2025, India will have the 25% of the total global workforce (World Competitiveness Yearbook, 2012). Hence, there is a need to further develop and empower the human capital to ensure the nation"s global competiveness. As far the economic progress of our country is concerned, India is still lagging behind due to various problems like poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, medical infrastructure etc. Youth plays a crucial role in achieving economic prosperity of the country. In the present scenario, it is found that most of the youth being educated are facing severe unemployment problem due to lack of skills and technical knowledge. Most of them are unaware of the developments taking place in the modern world. The present paper is based on the secondary data which was collected from different researches. The study focused on the skill development programmes implemented in India. This study is to investigate the existing literature for the skill development programmes and leveraging the demographic proportion in India by making them more skilled and employable. This literature survey is to review the various initiatives taken by Government of India, programmes conducted through public and private partnership, ways to increase the employability skills, challenges faced for the success of the programme, etc. The study also discusses about the skills imparted through educational programmes and requirement of additional sector specific courses. Hence, the paper will highlight the needs, challenges and scope of the skill development programmes.

Globalization, knowledge and competition have intensified the need for highly skilled workforce in both the developing and developed nations as it enables them to accelerate their growth rate towards higher trajectory. For India, skill development is critical from both socioeconomic and demographic point of view. Therefore, the present paper attempts to study the present skill capacity, challenges in front of skill development initiatives in India along with their solutions. The skill capacity has been assessed in the form of general education and vocational training level of the Indian workforce in the age group of 15-59 and which was found to extremely low i.e. around 38% of the workforce are not even literate, 25% are having below primary or up-to primary level of education and remaining 36% has an education level of middle and higher level whereas only 10% of the workforce is vocationally trained (with 2% formal and 8% informal training). The study also found that both the Government and its partner agencies have undertaken various measures/initiatives for the effective implementation of the skill development system in the economy, but still faces a number of unresolved issues/challenges that need immediate attention of the policy makers. Hence, skill development initiatives of the government should focus on these obstacles and develop the programs accordingly to resolve these hurdles for the complete success of the skill development initiatives.

The present central government led by Shri Narendra Modi has taken the initiative for improvement of skill among the educated youth of our country so that the employability will increase which will ultimately improve the national productivity. In this connection some new skill development program has been taken into consideration both in central and state level of our country. Demand for skilled work force is the need of the hour and keeping this in mind the government has targeted to improve the skill of 500 millions of youth of our country by 2020. This initiative not only provide employment opportunity in the country but also enable the youth force to compete with other developed nations. In order to meet the program the govt. has set up a fund monitoring committee at the central level so that the financial position of organizations associated with this program will improve. Different technical courses and vocational education course should change and prepared as per the requirement of the corporate at large. Fund allocation and fund utilization can be made properly in order to achieve the maximum benefit from all these program. The target group will be the traditional, non-traditional, technical and non-technical youth of our country.

Objectives: The Indian government " s " Make in India " campaign and the accelerated growth in the economy has highlighted the demand for skilled manpower in the country. The objective of this article to understand the current state of vocational education and training and review the vocational training models of the emerging economies. Methods/Statistic Analysis: The Skill development model of India is studied in detailed with reference to the " Make In India " campaign. The vocational training model of the China and Brazil is also reviewed for the study as they are a part of the BRICS countries and also the emerging economies of the world. Singapore " s vocational education model is also studied to gain additional insights on the skill development initiatives and policies. Findings: The " demographic dividend " explains for India being the youngest workforce country in the world. The country will have the lowest median age much below that of China and Organisation forEconomic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Countries. It means that India can be the largest provider of workforce to the world. But still, India has difficulty to fill up jobs due to a shortage of applicants with the right skills and knowledge. It also brings out the difficulty the country faces with matching the jobs to the skills available. India is still behind countries like China and Singapore in imparting skills. The paper aids in analyzing the current skill gaps in the country and the areas where there is a huge scope of supply of skilled workforce. It aims to identify the challenges faced in development of skills in the country and highlighting the employment opportunities arising in the different sectors with emphasis on the Make in India campaign. Conclusion/Improvements: There is a huge scope of generating skilled workforce in the country and utilize the " demographic dividend ". The branding activities and active involvement of Public Private Partnership ensure a better supply of skilled workforce.

Skills and knowledge are the driving forces of economic growth and social development for any country. Countries with higher and better levels of skills adjust more effectively to the challenges and opportunities of work. As India moves progressively towards becoming a ‘knowledge economy’ it becomes increasingly important that the country should focus on advancement of skills and these skills have to be relevant to the emerging economic environment. The Planning Commission of India has estimated that around 500 million skilled persons are required by 2022 while the current capacity of the skill development program is 3.1 million. Considering issues like population growth, unplanned rural-urban migration, high school dropout rates, India is likely to witness a deficit of 5.25 million employable graduates and vocationally trained workforce in next few years. For a country that adds 12 million people to its workforce every year, less than 4 per cent have ever received any formal training. With most of the existing training infrastructures irrelevant to industry needs and a wasted human resource of the unskilled rural/urban youth due to lack of skills, the workforce readiness in India is the lowest among the developing countries in the world. Many of the youth develop, through their own creativity skills, which is not adequate. They must be supported in actual work based systems, for which the skill development must be reoriented accordingly. As skill development in a large scale takes off, implementing agencies of government agencies, private institutions, industries and other vocational training providers would be faced with challenges that come up at every phase of the skill development value chain.

The globalised world demands vocational skilled manpower to convert growth opportunities into jobs and stable incomes. With millions of new job-seekers entering the job market every year, vocational skill development has become one of India’s urgent priorities. Skill development is one of the essential ingredients for India's future economic growth as the country transforms into a diversified and internationally-competitive economy. Skill development is going to be the defining element in India's growth story. The present paper attempts to study the present skill capacity, need of skill development in India, review the skill development policies, challenges for Skill development along with their solutions. The paper studied the relationship between education, employment and Skill development. The study also found that both the Government and its partner agencies have undertaken various measures/initiatives for the effective implementation of the Skill development system in the country, but there are big challenges which needs quick resolution. A survey (random survey) method was employed to elicit primary information from 100 students who took STAR training from different NSDC partners in Lucknow. The findings seek to answer some basic questions. Are the youths being really mobilized to be skilled outside the formal education system? Is the training delivery mechanism good enough to make the students employable? Would the industries be willing to cut down the minimum qualification criteria to promote skill development .A questionnaire based on as random sampling, was employed for data collection. Data analysis was accomplished using simple weighted average and percentage method.

It is time to take a relook at the education paradigm and the consociate it has with employment and employability. Though these are two attributes, we need to address them with poise and equanimity since the demographics points outthat more than 50 per cent of the population is slanted towards the younger generation in the nextten odd years whose fire in the belly and yearning can conflagrate a Nation on the move. Lack of education and lack of skills is a pestilence that we need to overcome in our current system and the faster we do this, the better for all concerned. Education certainly opens the doors to lead a life of liberty meaningful by allowing one to achieve prosperity. Successs does not come through magic. It needs necessary skills to succeed. This universal truth is equally applicable for the young generation. Youth energy can be the driving force for social and economic development of any country provided it is channelized effectively. The Indian employers have been struggling with acute shortage of skilled manpower despite India having the largest pool of young population in the world. Reason Lack of required expertise for specific job. As per the Labour Bureau Report 2014, the current size of india formally skilled workforce is only 2%. This apart, there is also the challeng of employability of large sections of the conventionally educated youth. The indian education system has been churning out brilliant minds but lacking in skill sets required for specific jobs. The Skill India mission launched by the government aims to provide a solution to this problem through creation of a job ready and skilled workforce by equipping it with employable skills. The mission aims to skill over 40 crore people by 2022 and enhance their employability by training them in skill sets of their choice.

India’s demographic dividend has been a matter of anticipation, aspirations, and ridicule, all at the same time. The government of India has been trying hard for over a decade now to enhance the skill level of this demographic bulge. The present paper is an attempt to evaluate all such attempts critically. After taking stock of the skill situation of India, the paper asserts that skilling initiatives in India have more to do with the number of people trained rather than quality and relevance of training. The paper cites relevant data to prove that vocational skilling initiatives have failed to meet the objectives. The scope of this paper is limited to skill creation for wage employment

This paper discusses the ways of promoting the development of our country through the mission " Skilled India ". Millions and millions of youth should go for acquisition of skills and there should be a network across the country for this and not the archaic systems. The youth should acquire the skills which could contribute towards making India a modern country. As India has suffered in basic skills a lot as they are obsessed for book reading and white collar jobs. That is why our country needs our own national policies to strengthen the ability of our workers to adapt to changing market demands and to benefit from innovation and investment in new technologies, health and infrastructure, etc. Recently there has been a renewed interest in training and skill development by the new government of India headed by Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi. Quality education, bridging the gap between world of work and training providers, continuous workplace for training, building competencies and training opportunities for both women and men can lead India on heights of success. Ultimately each country's prosperity depends on how many of its people are in work and how productive they are, which in turn rests on the skills they have and how effectively those skills are used .The paper underscores the need of a framework which will improve the recognition of vocationalisation and enhance the social status of the graduates of vocational training, hence, improved motivation for others to pursue vocational training. At the same time, it is important that the private sector should offer employment opportunities through increased investment and job creation.

The purpose of this research was to provide evidence of the impact career and technical education courses have on students after graduation. Numbers of Career and Technical Education (CTE) completers have continually dropped at the participating schools for the past five years. Five categories of placement after graduation were studied including the following: college, employment, postsecondary vocational training, military, and no placement. Archival data were gathered from postgraduate surveys conducted by high schools as required by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Data were collected for graduates in 2011, 2012, and 2013 from four area high schools that provide CTE training to some students at their own high schools and send a portion of students to an area career center for additional offerings. A Pearson product-moment coefficient of correlation (Pearson r) was calculated, and t-tests were used to assess the data. The findings revealed large positive relationships between completers of CTE programs and placement in college, employment, or related locations, yet the results of the t -test indicated there was no significant difference (at p < .05) between the placement for students who attended either a District or Area Career and Technical facility. This research may assist schools in presenting the benefits of CTE training to fifth- through tenth-grade students, provide ways for schools to better implement CTE programs, and to make the programs more accessible to future students.

The purpose of this quantitative causal-comparative study was to examine the effect that Career and Technical Education (CTE) concentrators, non-CTE concentrators and academic concentrators have on the on-time graduation of 1035 high school students in 7 high schools in Arizona for the 2015–2016 school year. There were three research questions that drove this study: 1) What effect does CTE concentration and non-CTE concentration have on on-time graduation? 2) What effect does CTE concentration and academic concentration have on on-time graduation? And 3) What effect does non-CTE concentration and academic concentration have on on-time graduation? The theoretical foundation for this study was social cognitive theory with a focus on academic self-efficacy. The research questions were addressed using a chi-squared analysis and binary logistic regression (logit). The Chi-square test showed that there is a statistically significant association between CTE concentrators and on-time graduation χ 2 (1) = .15.893, p = .000. On-time graduation was not independent of CTE program completion for CTE concentrators and non-CTE concentrators, but on-time graduation was associated with program status. The binary logistic regression (logit), showed that CTE concentrators were 4.088 times, R 2 = .061, p = .000, and non-CTE concentrators were 1.907 times, R 2 = .015, p = .047, more likely to have higher on-time graduation over academic concentrators. These findings suggest that students who take or complete a CTE program will graduate on-time.

This qualitative study investigated information sharing practices between two Southern California comprehensive high schools and an offsite career training (CT) school with a focus on students with disabilities (SWD). The case study approach examined how student information is communicated in support of new federal and state policies related to college and career preparedness. Bolman and Deal’s Four Frame Model served as the theoretical framework. The 12 participants included special education teachers, career technical teachers and administrators of curriculum and instruction. Findings included organizations operate separately, resulting in minimal teacher input in individual education plan (IEP) development and implementation, lack of targeted professional development for teachers at both organizations, and lowered expectations of SWD. Implications and suggestions for leadership to align structures and promote collaboration to facilitate SWD learning are examined.

Dykzeul, Theodore. "The Effects of Career and Technical Education on High School Students." Thesis, Saint Mary's College of California, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10284565.

Due to the high unemployment rate and difficulty for students to transition from education to work, this thesis looks at how Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs provide a supplement to the traditional education systems throughout the world, and can be a solution to students graduating with employable skills so they can find meaningful work. The thesis answers the question: “What are the effects of Career and Technical Education?” through a qualitative method of an open-ended survey administered to three educational organizations in Northern California. Participants included four teachers, five administrators, and 96 high school students. The results showed that CTE programs have incredible effects on students, from being life-changing to providing necessary career skills and the space to navigate college and career choice. Students, teachers and administrators recommend that CTE programs be adopted nation wide, so students can decide what career to pursue.

Postconflict governments and counterparts have collaborated to provide skills training to communities as a critical postconflict development strategy. In these undertakings, the role of community members remains largely undefined. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive case study was to understand the perceptions held by rural community members regarding the role they played in influencing government's policy priority for technical and vocational education and training (TVET) as a local human development strategy in postconflict Liberia. The conceptual framework was based on human capital theory and concepts of motivation and achievement. Fourteen participants were purposefully selected for the study. Data were collected from interviews, focus group discussion, and documents and analyzed using constant comparison. Results indicated that increasing human capital, restoring self-esteem, encouraging civic participation, and building peace were among the community members' motivations for establishing a skills training institution. Leadership, advocacy, and ownership were major roles community stakeholders played in establishing their local skill training institution; voluntarism and collaboration were found to be strategies for support to the local TVET initiatives. Findings have positive social change implications for facilitating community-initiated TVET programs for youth employment as well as informing TVET policies in countries transitioning from conflict to development.

Wallace, Ronda L. "Grit and Student Performance| A Mixed-Method Analysis of a Non-Traditional Technical High School and a Traditional High School." Thesis, Lindenwood University, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10036393.

Grit, defined as the tendency to pursue long-term goals with sustained zeal and hard work, was shown to predict achievement in academic, vocational, and avocational domains. In 2009, Duckworth and Quinn found that grit predicted student effectiveness in school and the concept of grit was largely unrelated to talent. Grit provided incremental predictive validity for achievement outcomes, particularly in settings of high challenge. From the combination of persistence, self-control, and more broadly, conscientiousness, emerges the concept of grit.

The purpose of this study was to compare the relative grittiness of students from two different high school settings. The first of these was a non-traditional technical high school. The second was a traditional suburban high school. One hundred students from each high schools took the Grit-S survey to determine their level of grit. It was found that students attending the non-traditional high school and students attending the traditional high school had no statistically different level of grit. However, students from the non-traditional technical high school had an observably higher level of self-reported grit. Teachers and administrators were interviewed to determine their perceptions about grit. Qualitative analysis of their responses rendered three commonalities. The first theme was a definition of grit rooted in persistence and self-motivation. The second theme was the need for adults to model grit for the benefit of their students. The third theme was a lack of difference between the genders in perceived grit or academic prospects.

This dissertation expanded on the research of Grit and Student Performance as it relates to students who attend a non-traditional technical high school and students who attend a traditional high school. There was a lack of previous research comparing these two distinct types of high schools. After the data was gathered and analyzed no significant differences were found. This dissertation provides ideas for future research and its results may possibly change attitudes about students in both high school settings.

Frasier, Erin M. "Labor Market Responsiveness of Washington State Community and Technical Colleges." Thesis, Brandman University, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10160723.

Purpose: The purpose of this mixed methods study is to examine the degree to which Washington State community and technical college workforce education administrators perceive their institutions to be labor market-responsive based on the Community College Labor Market Responsiveness assessment’s seven dimensions of labor market responsiveness (leadership and governance, organizational structure and staffing, organizational culture, resources and funding, information and data, relationship-building, and partnerships) and to explore the factors impacting each of the seven dimensions.

Methodology: This mixed methods study described 39 Washington State community and technical college workforce administrators’ perceptions of community college labor market responsiveness. An explanatory design was employed to collect quantitative data to describe, followed by qualitative data to further explain. Data was collected using a web-based survey instrument with fixed-choice Likert-type and open-ended questions.

Findings: Overall, 62% of workforce educational administrators perceive the community colleges in Washington to be somewhat or almost always labor market responsive. The two most displayed dimensions were leadership and governance and organizational culture, however, the weakest dimension was organizational structure. The most impactful factors identified were: resources, leadership, workforce focus, organizational factors and external engagement. An unexpected finding was the absence of the practitioners’ reference to entrepreneurial characteristics, even though this is emphasized by scholars.

Conclusions: Washington State community and technical colleges are experts in workforce development although many factors impact their ability to effectively respond to labor market needs. This study concludes that Washington State community and technical colleges are perceived to be moderately labor market responsive, yet committed to external relationships and partnerships, and in need of more adequate financial, human and information resources to reach their full potential. Secondly, although there is strong leadership supporting labor market responsiveness efforts, unsupportive organizational structures limit their impact. In addition, entrepreneurial approaches are necessary to navigate resource-limited environments and this is not adequately supported by community colleges.

Recommendations: Further research is recommended to include other populations, correlate perceptions with other indicators, and compare perceptions between more than one sample. An exploration of entrepreneurial characteristics and vocational program review processes of community colleges should also be studied.

In the United States, colleges and universities are under pressure from multiple sources to improve course completion and graduation rates and to reduce the cost of obtaining a degree. This qualitative phenomenological case study, underpinned by the social constructivist perspective, explored second-year manufacturing degree students’ perceptions of the impact of their teachers’ servant leadership behaviors on their successful course completions at a Midwest technical college. Servant leadership was the theoretical base for the study, which consisted of Q sorts by, and interviews with, students from two manufacturing degree programs. One program had higher course completion and graduation rates and the other had lower course completion and graduation rates. The responses were coded using data from an extensive literature review and were analyzed for themes according to the perspectives of the participants’ Q sorts and responses to interview questions. While the study did not reveal a simple, straightforward solution to the very complicated student success problem in technical college manufacturing programs, it did identify the elements of an emergent model recommended for manufacturing teachers: servant teaching.

This mixed-methods study analyzed student perceptions regarding the impact of career and technical education (CTE) programs on student engagement, mind-set, support of teachers, and school climate. The Tripod 7C instrument was utilized to gather quantitative data, while focus groups were utilized for gathering qualitative data. Survey results showed statistically significant differences between CTE and non-CTE subjects in the areas of care, captivate, and clarify. These findings were used to develop the questions and structure for the focus group discussions. The focus groups revealed four student-perception themes: teacher, environment, student engagement, and content. In the settings studied, CTE programs were noted to have significantly higher levels of student engagement, environments that are welcoming and warm, and caring adults.

Thesis, Valdosta State University, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10930416.

The purpose of this research study was to identify and prioritize the professional development needs for teachers of CTAE subjects within metropolitan Atlanta school systems. The methodology was primarily relational with descriptive components that relied on quantitative data. The administered survey called for participants to self-report demographic groups (i.e. Experience Level, School Type, and School Population). Secondly, participants completed online surveys yielding data that identified professional development needs relative to demographic variables. A modified Borich (1980) Needs Assessment Model was used to identify the perceived importance and perceived competency of 20 competencies prescribed by the Georgia Teacher Assessment of Performance Standards (TAPS). Once analyzed, the researcher identified and described professional development needs relative to demographic variables.

Davis, Maria. "Exploring strengths of career technical education deans| Implementing change within community colleges." Thesis, California State University, Fullerton, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3574078.

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how career technical education (CTE) deans implement crucial changes in their programs to keep up with industry standards required by external agencies, the Perkins grant, and the advancements of technology. Deans must make top-down, lateral, as well as vertical change to implement improvements successfully, and to implement or to create new policies. The participants discussed the unique nature and background associated with CTE and their perceptions of the distinct skill sets that may be unique to leading career education programs.

Little research exists exploring this phenomena and this study could prove invaluable to the CTE field in recruiting, training, and developing current and future CTE Deans. The findings of this study suggest that in order to meet their goals in implementing program changes, CTE deans need to be skilled in the use of referent power, relationship-building, and a participative leadership style. In addition, skilled practitioners must have strong relational skills that emphasize collaboration, persuasion, and determination to lead change successfully. These findings can assist human resource departments in the hiring of effective deans of CTE divisions.

San, Miguel Manuel. "The effects of career technical education on student outcomes in a high-minority urban school district." Thesis, California State University, Fullerton, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3576649.

The study set out to determine the effects of Career Technical Education Career Academy participation on student outcome measures in a high minority urban school district. Three research questions explored student participation in career academies and student outcomes in the area of grade point average, credit completion and/or attendance rates. The three research questions investigated in this study were: 1) What are the effects of CTE on student achievement, grade point average, credit completion, and attendance rates? 2) Does the amount of time in the CTE program affect the dependent variables of grade point average, credit completion, and attendance rate? 3) Does the CTE academy affect the dependent variables of grade point average, credit completion, and attendance rates? The quasi-experimental design, which matched Career Technical Education participants and non-participants according to various demographic variables, allowed the researcher to control for variables that usually impact grade point average, credit completion and attendance rates. The matching and labeling of CTE participants and non-participants occurred prior to students' participation in an academy. The results of this study adds to a relatively small body of research which examines the impact of Career Technical Education programs implemented in thousands of high schools across the country. Multiple regression was run and results concluded that participation in Career Technical Education significantly impacts grade point average and credit completion rates. However the amount of time in an academy only affected grade point average and the academy students participated in did not have an impact any of the student outcomes measured in this study. Further studies of similar design which measure student outcomes should be performed to confirm or deny the results of this study.

The purpose of this sequential, explanatory, mixed methods study was (a) to investigate the degree to which Career Technical Education (CTE) students in selected California Community College (CCC) believe that the core components of learning communities (LCs) designed for traditional, academic track students exist in LCs designed for CTE students; (b) to determine which of the core components, if any, are perceived by students as most beneficial, for CTE LCs; and (c) to explore any additional components that students might believe to be essential for LCs designed for CTE students.

In the first phase of this study, the Online Survey of Students’ Experiences of Learning in a LC , developed and implemented by the National Resource Center for Learning Communities, was administered to a cross section of 75 current CTE LC students from three California Community Colleges to determine the perception of implementation of the core components of a LC. In phase two, survey respondents were able to opt-in to a focus group or interview designed to determine which of the core components, if any, were most beneficial and to explore their experience in the LC to emerge any critical components not included in the survey instrument. Thirty-five survey respondents participated in six focus groups on campus.

The findings of this study support the following conclusions. Study participants in this study found all four components of a successful learning community integrated curriculum, innovative instruction, engagement and supportive services, present in their learning community designed for Career and Technical Education. Students found supportive services to be the most important component in their learning community, followed by engagement. Supportive services are perceived by students to be key to successful participation, retention and success of survey participants. Specific personnel, peer mentors, teaching assistants, coordinators, counselors and instructors, represent the greatest source of support and means for engagement connecting students to the larger campus community as well as to supportive services. A career focus in the learning community helps students persist and succeed in their learning community and serves as a point of engagement.

Research topic idea mega list

Education-Related Dissertations & Theses

While the ideas we’ve presented above are a decent starting point for finding a research topic in education, they are fairly generic and non-specific. So, it helps to look at actual dissertations and theses in the education space to see how this all comes together in practice.

Below, we’ve included a selection of education-related research projects to help refine your thinking. These are actual dissertations and theses, written as part of Master’s and PhD-level programs, so they can provide some useful insight as to what a research topic looks like in practice.

  • From Rural to Urban: Education Conditions of Migrant Children in China (Wang, 2019)
  • Energy Renovation While Learning English: A Guidebook for Elementary ESL Teachers (Yang, 2019)
  • A Reanalyses of Intercorrelational Matrices of Visual and Verbal Learners’ Abilities, Cognitive Styles, and Learning Preferences (Fox, 2020)
  • A study of the elementary math program utilized by a mid-Missouri school district (Barabas, 2020)
  • Instructor formative assessment practices in virtual learning environments : a posthumanist sociomaterial perspective (Burcks, 2019)
  • Higher education students services: a qualitative study of two mid-size universities’ direct exchange programs (Kinde, 2020)
  • Exploring editorial leadership : a qualitative study of scholastic journalism advisers teaching leadership in Missouri secondary schools (Lewis, 2020)
  • Selling the virtual university: a multimodal discourse analysis of marketing for online learning (Ludwig, 2020)
  • Advocacy and accountability in school counselling: assessing the use of data as related to professional self-efficacy (Matthews, 2020)
  • The use of an application screening assessment as a predictor of teaching retention at a midwestern, K-12, public school district (Scarbrough, 2020)
  • Core values driving sustained elite performance cultures (Beiner, 2020)
  • Educative features of upper elementary Eureka math curriculum (Dwiggins, 2020)
  • How female principals nurture adult learning opportunities in successful high schools with challenging student demographics (Woodward, 2020)
  • The disproportionality of Black Males in Special Education: A Case Study Analysis of Educator Perceptions in a Southeastern Urban High School (McCrae, 2021)

As you can see, these research topics are a lot more focused than the generic topic ideas we presented earlier. So, in order for you to develop a high-quality research topic, you’ll need to get specific and laser-focused on a specific context with specific variables of interest.  In the video below, we explore some other important things you’ll need to consider when crafting your research topic.
