ACHIEVING QUALITY IN THE TEACHING AND EXAMINATION OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

ABSTRACT

The vital role of vocational and technical education in the production of skilled and competent manpower for economic, industrial and social development cannot be achieved if an efficient and effective teaching and examination is not maintained. Therefore, this project examines the objectives of vocational and technical education, factors militating against

Constraints to the development of science and technology education

The constraints to effective science and technology teaching and learning relate to the optimization of five interacting factors that underpin effective learning.  These are the science and technology teacher (his/her qualification), content, methods of delivery, resources and the community. The interaction of these factors with the learners (students) results in students’ performance. Inadequate provision of any of the five factors could result in inappropriate performance by the learner.
Science and technology education should as a matter of course respond to the needs of the society in which it is practiced. The inability of science and technology to respond positively to the development needs of the nation could be attributed to the following:

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FAT16 AND FAT32 IN USB

The base storage area for hard drives is a sector; each sector stores up to 512bytes of data. If an operating system stores less than 512bytes the rest of the sector goes to waste. The system needs a way to remember which sector holds which files so that it can retrieve it later, this is done using a file allocation table (FAT).
It is nothing more than a card catalog of where data is stored. The FAT is two colums, in the left column is the number that has been given to each sector. In the right column contains info on the status of sectors, ie. bad sector. So FAT is an acronymn but it is not a "partitioning tool". There is FAT16 and FAT32. The "16" and the "32" just means the size of the sectors with the FAT16 breaking your drive into smaller sectors which will cause your data to be spread out more because the sectors will fill up faster. Defintely use FAT32, because it will create sectors a lot bigger than FAT16 so you will be less likely to have fragments on your hard drive over a period of time.

How to Convert usb drive file system from RAW to ntfs or fat?

1.you can go into my computer under the Removable Disk icon rightclick>format>then under the file system drop-down menu pick the file type (FAT,FAT32,NTFS) and then hit start at the bottom

2.If that don't work, then you might have accidentally deleted the partition, yes they do have them, you can simply stick a windows CD in while the flash drive is connected and reboot, the CD will run. go through its process until you come to the partition menu, the usb drive will be listed as a second drive, but ofcoarse
smaller then your computers drive. (*WARNING* this will completely clear all data from the device or your hard drive so make sure you select the right one) Delete the existing partition then select C to create a new one. once your done creating a new partition press F3 and abort the rest, if you don't it will install windows. NOTE under the section saying file type, it will still say RAW when all is done.

reboot and then run threw my above method 1. to format the removable disk and when its complete you will be set as what ever type you choose from the drop-down menu.

This is what worked for me on several occasions however it always results in complete data loss. If anyone knows a better way please post, I would be extremely grateful.

I hope this have been very informative and i want to thank you for reading.

HOW TO MAKE A USB FLASH A BOOTABLE DISC.

In order for a computer to boot from a USB drive, the BIOS must support it. If it does not, you will need to find an upgrade for your BIOS. In most cases, the support for USB booting will never be available for systems that didn't support it to begin with.

bootable USB guide, here we assume that you are using either Vista or Windows 7 to create a bootable USB.

1. Insert your USB (4GB+ preferable) stick to the system and backup all the data from the USB as we are going to format the USB to make it as bootable.
2. Open elevated Command Prompt. To do this, type in CMD in Start menu search field and hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Alternatively, navigate to Start > All programs >Accessories > right click on Command Prompt and select run as administrator.
3. When the Command Prompt opens, enter the following command:
DISKPART and hit enter.
LIST DISK and hit enter.
Once you enter the LIST DISK command, it will show the disk number of your USB drive. In the below image my USB drive disk no is Disk 1.
4. In this step you need to enter all the below commands one by one and hit enter. As these commands are self explanatory, you can easily guess what these commands do.
SELECT DISK 1 (Replace DISK 1 with your disk number)
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS
(Format process may take few seconds)
ASSIGN
EXIT
Don't close the command prompt as we need to execute one more command at the next step. Just minimize it.
5. Insert your Windows DVD in the optical drive and note down the drive letter of the optical drive and USB media. Here I use "D" as my optical (DVD) drive letter and "H" as my USB drive letter.
6. Go back to command prompt and execute the following commands:
D:CD BOOT and hit enter. Where "D" is your DVD drive letter.
CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message.
BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 H:
(Where "H" is your USB drive letter)
7. Copy Windows DVD contents to USB.
You are done with your bootable USB. You can now use this bootable USB as bootable DVD on any computer that comes with USB boot feature (most of the current motherboards support this feature).
Note that this bootable USB guide will not work if you are trying to make a bootable USB on XP computer.
