Design and Validation of an Educational Model for Teaching Practical Transitions in Technical and Vocational Schools with a Constructivism Approach.

Transitional practical issues are among the topics pursued in vocational and technical vocational schools. The purpose of this study is to design and validate an educational model for teaching practical transitions in technical and vocational schools with a Constructivism approach. In order to achieve this goal, the present study was carried out mixed methods research with a sequential exploratory strategy with model design. Initially, qualitative research was carried out through using qualitative content analysis methods, interviews and formative research. In this section, an educational model for transitional practical issues with a constructivist approach was designed.In the quantitative research section, 60 students were selected convenience and randomly assignment as the experimental and control group. In the quantitative research section, 60 students of the tenth grade computer school in Urmia were selected in the 98-97 academic year and were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The analysis method in this section was frequency and mean and analysis of covariance, according to which the educational package derived from the model has external validity. Based on the results of this study, a specific model was designed to teach practical topics of the transitional type with a constructive approach in technical and vocational schools. Based on the results of this study, it is suggested that a constructivist approach be used in the form of a designed model to teach practical transfer topics in technical and vocational schools.
