In many European countries, colleges came to constitute a parallel higher education sector that offered degree programs of an applied nature in contrast to the more academically oriented programs of the traditional university sector. Other jurisdictions, including some Canadian ones, followed the American approach, in which colleges facilitate degree attainment for students in occupational programs through transfer arrangements with universities.

Dansd’autres juridictions,dont certainesau Canada, on a plutôt suivi le modèle américain selon lequel les collèges facilitent l’obtention de grades dans des programmes axés sur les professions par le biais d’ententes de transfert avec les universités. Le présent article propose certaines raisons susceptibles d’expliquer pourquoi le gouvernement de l’Ontario a choisi de ne pas adopter entièrement le modèle européen, malgré le fait que la vision initiale des collèges de l’Ontario se rapprochaitdavantage de ce dernier que du modèle américain.  \nIntroduction  \nDuring the last third of the twentieth century, one of the principal ways in which many countries increased access to postsecondary education was by establishing new sectors of institutions that were intended to provide an alternative to traditional universities. The primary mission of these institutions was to prepare graduates for jobs and careers. Besides their focus on preparation for employment, other characteristics that differentiated the newer sectors were emphasis on teaching; use of pedagogies that emphasized experiential and hands-on learning; limited involvement in research; and admission of students from a wide range of socioeconomic and educational backgrounds, including secondary school vocational streams. The new sectors were created by merging existing vocational institutions and by adding new institutions.  \nIn the early 1970s, analysts at the OECD reported that the new sectors fit one of three patterns: the multipurpose model, the specialized model, and the binary model (OECD, 1971; OECD, 1973). The prototype for the multipurpose model was the American junior college. Its defining characteristics were a “fairly close” link with the university, and diversified curricula that included purely academic programs, various types of general education, and vocational training of a “terminal nature”(OECD, 1973, p. 15). The main locations ofthis model were said to be the United States, some western provinces of Canada, and Québec.  \nIn the specialized model, the institutions provided vocational training of a terminal nature largely for students from the non-academic streams of the secondary s","cbCaidvBlkMdKCRX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidvBlkMdKCRX","pdf",223992,"English","# Introduction\n## OECD models for new postsecondary sectors\n## Evolution of specialized and binary/parallel models\n## Europe’s parallel degree-granting sector","[{\"question\":\"What changes drove increased access to postsecondary education in many countries during the late 20th century?\",\"answer\":\"Many countries expanded access by establishing new institutional sectors intended as alternatives to traditional universities, with a primary mission of preparing graduates for jobs and careers.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the OECD categorize new postsecondary sectors in the early 1970s?\",\"answer\":\"The OECD reported three patterns: the multipurpose model, the specialized model, and the binary model, each differing in institutional links, curriculum mix, and program orientation.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the article discuss Ontario choosing not to fully adopt the European model?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that the Ontario government selected not to fully embrace the European model, even though the original vision for Ontario’s colleges was closer to the European than to the American approach.\"}]","Situating Ontario’s Colleges between the American and European Models for Providing Opportunity for the Attainment of Baccalaureate Degrees in Applied Fields of Study | PDF",1792083485,48]
