abstract: 'Describing various demographic characteristics of disadvantaged
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
students, the programs they study and their employment outcomes is a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significant area of research interest in the vocational education and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
training (VET) sector. This article offers a preliminary exploration of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
how groups are problematised and the consequent influence on VET
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
research into disadvantage in Australia. Creating categories provides
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the historical and political contexts that allow specific practices and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
descriptors to become dominant. The major methodological approach used
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is a post-structuralist discourse analysis of policy documents,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
government VET reviews and published research into equity groups. It is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
argued that rather than envisaging VET research into disadvantage as a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
repetitious recounting of these groups'' lack of access to vocational
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
education and training, other important agendas are being served by the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
continued inquiries into people that experience inequity. The influence
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of long-standing Australian discourses that valorise, mostly male,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
individual responsibility to be a self-regulating citizen who maintains
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ongoing employment ensures that policymakers require updated productive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
expert research into the population to support the specialist discourses
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of disadvantage.'
