Formal Education at Secondary Vocational Schools

Abstract

The article explores the relationship between theory and practice within the school environment. To a certain extent, schools can create an environment that resembles the real working conditions in companies within a given subject area. For instance, this could apply to a vocational subject focused on production and business. Such a subject can function effectively if the necessary quality conditions for running a business are established. It is essential to ensure access to appropriate work equipment, techniques, and technology, as well as qualified staff and suitable working conditions. Each work environment, job position, and function are influenced by specific factors, which should be incorporated into the curriculum of this subject. The article examines the practical implementation of a classroom model designed to integrate theoretical knowledge with production and business activities. The study employs a questionnaire-based approach to assess students' satisfaction with this teaching method, particularly in the context of dual education. The outcomes of this process are then evaluated.
