Course Completion and Instructional Experience in TAFE
註釋The aim of this study was to find out how students experience technical and further education (TAFE) from the point of view of the learning experience, and what factors influence them to continue or discontinue their studies. The study aimed to test the following two propositions: that the quality of instructional experience is a factor in student retention; and that many of the student-level reasons for non- completion can be addressed successfully at the institution level by formulating successful instructional and organisational responses. This study focused on students undertaking training at certificate levels I, II and III in four fields of study : business studies, engineering, hospitality and TAFE multifield. The latter generally comprises courses to prepare people for study and for employment and includes literacy, numeracy and basic education. The reason for focusing on this level was that the issue of quality of instruction is crucial for early school leavers and other groups whose experience of formal school-based learning has been less than optimal.
