What the literature leaves open
The introduction of microelectronics is changing the job-content and task processing of workers in Japan. Workers are experiencing adjustment problems in this drastically changing society. There is a need for education and training programs to develop new skills.
Influences of microelectronics on education and training programs and career guidance in Japan · 1985 · DOIThere is a need for education and training programs to develop new skills and for career guidance to shift from a 'matching' to a 'career' model. The paper identifies a gap in the understanding of the influence of microelectronics on employment and whole industrial structure in Japan.
Influences of microelectronics on education and training programs and career guidance in Japan · 1985 · DOIThe need for an updated list of articles from the Vocational Aspect, covering topics from 1978 to 1982
The lack of a working partnership between the educational system and the economy in England. The difference in approaches to technical and technological education between England and Belgium.
Technical and Technological Education in England and Belgium: a nineteenth century comparison · 1982 · DOIThe paper's findings may be limited by the use of a specific dataset. The paper's methodology may not be generalizable to other contexts. The paper's results may be influenced by the choice of specific occupational ratings.
There is a need for comparative study of occupational prestige across time and space. The use of a standard occupational status scale is necessary for comparative study. The validity and generality of Treiman's Standard Scale have been sharply questioned.
The difficulty of assimilating the steadily growing volume of scientific knowledge needed by a specialist. The lack of quantitative indices to measure the effect produced on the production process by a specialist's capability to solve narrow special questions and broader general problems.
The sample size was limited to 90 subjects. The study only considered the nursing profession. The reliability and validity of the LCN inventory may not be generalizable to other professions.
A longitudinal follow-up study should be conducted to determine the predictive validity of the LCN for nurses. The generalizability of the LCN inventory to other professions should be investigated.
The possibility of trade unionism in the military is a challenge that needs to be addressed. The increasing reliance on contract civilians to perform military tasks is another challenge. The use of civilians to perform tasks that would be seen as military in content is a significant challenge.
The paper identifies a gap in understanding the organizational consequences of the shift to an occupational model. The study aims to address this gap by evaluating two models, institution versus occupation, and understanding the implications of this shift on the social structure of the military.
The paper identifies a need to update a previous list of articles from The Vocational Aspect. The paper reveals changes in contributors' interests over time.
The current lock-step course rigidity in curriculum content is not suitable for programs of the future. The need for flexibility, options, and early specialization in physical education programs.
The analysts were unable to make fine distinctions with their rating technique. The OAP structure is a compromise between different desires and needs, and nobody will be perfectly happy with it.
The lack of a systematic approach to relating Occupational Aptitude Patterns to Worker Trait Groups is a gap in the existing structure. The existing structure does not accommodate all aptitude patterns resulting from occupational validation research.
The subjective nature of judgments about the relationship between vocational training and occupational placement. The lack of a systematic and analytic approach to measuring this relationship.
There has been no attempt to relate the exercise of various skills on the job to former training. The dimensions of the relationship are not specified.
The existing Occupational Aptitude Pattern structure had not been changed for almost 10 years. The structure had limitations that needed to be addressed.
The paper identifies a gap in the literature on the role of master's degrees in professional fields. It notes that there is a need for cross-disciplinary training and individualized programs to meet the changing needs of society.
The need for planning retirement well in advance of actual separation. The need for the close articulation of retirement planning with overall career planning.
There is a need for programs to help low-risk juvenile offenders, - There is a need for programs to create a sense of civic and personal responsibility in children, - There is a need for programs to enable children to learn new skills
The broadening of secondary school curriculums has made the counselor's job increasingly complex. The lack of criterion data for students who did not enter the vocational and technical curriculum is a limitation. The sample size is limited to 92 students.
The sample size was limited to 92 students. The study only considered students enrolled in the Altoona Area Vocational-Technical School. No criterion data was available for students who did not enter the vocational and technical curriculum.
There is a need for a method to classify vocational-technical students according to group resemblance using aptitude and interest variables. Prior methods may not be effective in providing guidance to students.
The study identifies a gap in earlier research due to the absence of many SVIB occupational titles and differences in terminology. The paper notes that earlier studies did not consider the ambiguity in occupational titles.
