47. In the early 20th century, deplorable
working conditions, child labor
abuses, and lack of wage protection
were just some of the issues that
prompted the creation of the U.S.
Department of Labor. In
1913, Congress created the Department
as an agency dedicated to
foster, promote, and develop the
welfare of the American worker. This
marked the culmination of nearly half a
century of public demand for an agency
that would be devoted exclusively to
the welfare of American workers. The
Department has been dedicated to
helping workers adapt to the ever-
changing conditions of the economy
and the work place.

academics?
63. Andragogy consists of
learning strategies focused
on adults.
Pedagogy consists of
learning strategies focused
on children.
64. Knowles' theory can be stated with six
assumptions of adult learning:
1. Adults need to know the reason for learning
something (Need to Know)
2. Experience (including error) provides the
basis for learning activities (Foundation).
3. Adults need to be responsible for their
decisions on education; involvement in the
planning and evaluation of their instruction
(Self-concept).

assumptions of adult learning:

(Foundation).
3. CTE students are responsible for their decisions

66. Knowles' theory can be stated with six
assumptions of adult learning:
4. CTE students are most interested in learning
subjects having immediate relevance to their
work and/or personal lives (Readiness).
5. CTE learning is problem-centered rather than
content-oriented (Orientation).
6. CTE students respond better to internal versus
external motivators (Motivation).

the academic classroom…
CTE is for remedial students
CTE’s application--learning by doing
approach—is less rigorous than
academic learning.
CTE is for those children—not my child.
