Handbook of Research on E-Learning Applications for Career and Technical Education: Technologies for Vocational Training
He was the director of the Moscow Imperial Technical School in 1886 and developed the Russian system of competency-based instruction, which was partly influenced by Pavlov’s research on conditioning. He exhibited his system of instruction at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876. As a result of this presentation, the School of Mechanic Arts was opened in connection with the Massachusetts Institution of Technology in Boston. The principles of his system were adopted by other schools as well in 1880.

Abstract
This chapter addresses pertinent issues concerning the development of meaningful curricula for adult learners in career and technical education.

The chapter discusses how the two different models contribute to curriculum development in career and technical education.
