The future of CTE will evolve from the research and development efforts being performed today. Identifying a research agenda and implementing the necessary research activities to carry out this agenda are critical for the continuous development of CTE programs that meet the needs of students, industry and society. ACTE in collaboration with ACTER created a national research agenda with the input and support of researchers, business leaders and practitioners to help ensure that future CTE scholarly research will be focused in the areas most useful to practitioners, policymakers and researchers.
The research found on this Web page has been categorized first into five broad research problem areas and then into 15 research objectives identified in the national CTE research agenda. Simply click on a reseach objective to access research ACTE has compiled on that subject.
This information represents a small portion of existing CTE research and should not be considered a comprehensive list. Research on the site is maintained chronologically and added continuously, so please send ACTE
any research you believe should be included on the page. Please
include as much information as you can about the research, including
the journal name, date and, if available, a Web address.
