Strategies for Developing TVET Teachers’ Professional Competencies
摘要
This chapter focuses on the strategies adopted in teacher professional development at the national, institutional and individual levels. In Sect. 4.2, we adopted an ecological approach to view the sustainable development of TVET teachers’ professional competencies as a dynamic and interactive process facilitated by multi-layered factors working together. It is an integration of and interaction between the efforts made at the national, institutional, and individual levels. These efforts, in turn, determine what strategies, resources, technologies and modes of learning to be adopted. It is the interplay of all these factors that sustains and advances TVET teachers’ professional development. In this section, we also propose a teacher training model to facilitate TVET teacher professional development. A review of strategies implemented at each of the above mentioned three levels in different TVET intuitions around the world is conducted in Sects. 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 respectively.
