THE GAMBLER THEORY IN AGRICULTURAL VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL OCCUPATIONS:
Abstract
In recent times, researches in agricultural, vocational and technical education has drastically expanded their horizons of inquiry to a more eclectic approaches. While the fundamental precepts of research and theory remains alive as ever, there is an increasing emphasis on the relationship between theory and research in entirely all fields of human endeavour. While the basic purpose of theory is to understand reality, there are donating problems in the course of practicalizing research as how to explain the esoteric concepts and the relationship between theory and research, as well as verbalizing the theoretical framework for the purpose of publication in research literature. Presently, most of the theories of vocational and career education in use are alien, in bits and tentative in nature. There is need therefore to properly examine their appropriateness and relevance to workforce education in the 21st century. This paper, therefore, proposed the gambler theory for use in agricultural, vocational and technical occupations, with implications for job creation and national development.
