Abstract

TVET teachers need comprehensive competence in response to the societal change of digitalization. Comparing to well-developed preparation programs in general education, the training framework for TVET teacher still need to be examined, especially in school-based TVET system. This study aims to propose a teaching competence framework and investigates its fitness and effectiveness in on-service training. A training program was conducted corresponding to it in a case school in China. The program achieves significant improvement in competence by using pretest and posttest measure, and receives satisfactory feedback from a survey among participating teachers. Factors which may affect training operation and outcome are discussed.
