Background

The world of education is changing due to the COVID 19 pandemic. As we all know this is an unprecedented time with COVID19 impacting our society at all levels. A record number of students and teachers are out of school with an estimated 1.5 Billion school age students out of school around the world.

The impact on students, schools and teachers is huge and we are facing problems of making up learning, extending students time in school and other issues. This has left the world seeking new solutions that might provide a more robust education system that can be more flexible during times of crisis.

Many are looking towards digital and online learning as a potential tool that can help deal with these problems. Educational development has already started to include digital learning solutions quite some time ago, but it has yet to become a key part of the system. Now it may be the time to look at more comprehensive solutions and move education firmly into the digital age.

In this Webinar we shall look into the broad issues facing education and focus in on TVET and skills training. What are the possibilities for change, what are the tools, what will it look like, how do we prepare for it, what will be the impact on the quality of learning and the cost of delivery.

Dr. McKee will share observations on the impact of technology on the TVET system the emerging Virtual TVET approach on the education system which may transform learning. We shall see how we can infuse technology into the learning process to make it more relevant and use it to achieve better training results at substantially lower costs.

We will look at the new Virtual TVET digital learning technologies which are being developed with 3D models and graphics which can increase student understanding and not only teach theory but also start them on the road for practical learning. Using these new applications can change the way that skills training is done in Institutions. Laboratories/workshops can be setup in new ways requiring less physical equipment and at less cost. Virtual TVET can deepen student learning and allow us to individualize student learning pathways and tailor learning to each students’ own preferences and needs.

A highlight of this session with be a demonstration of a new online resource for Virtual TVET. This new content can now be delivered on-off campus and on-line to facilitate learning anywhere and anytime. This new style goes beyond "Blended Learning" to be what is now being termed "Braided Learning" and opens possibilities to change when, where, how, for whom and at what cost we learn Skills.

Education is one of the few areas that has not yet realized true transformation from the technological revolution. Now is the time to look into our TVET systems and explore infusing technology for teaching and learning into them.

Focus

This session is designed to provide an overview and a framework for using technology for teaching and learning in TVET. It will cover aspects of implementation in schools and introduce new tools for online learning for skills training. Practical applications will be shown and demonstrated. The purpose is to stimulate the discussion in TVET Institutions how they can implement distance and online learning while integrating it with their existing programs.

Role of TVET Schools in Bridging the Gaps in Workforce Development
by Ma. Cristina B. Orbecido, Ph.D.

User Login

Background

The role of Technical Vocational Education and Training institutions in bridging the gap in workforce development will be the focus of this online presentation. Worldwide, TVET has been seen as a key driver or game changer to spur human capital development.

As the world keeps changing at a rapid rate, so do the skills requirements in the workplace and society. This change is characterized by innovation cycles, disruptive technologies, digitalization and challenges posed by demographic and global changes.

Confronted with constant economic, technological and social developments, TVET systems and institutions are struggling to anticipate these changing requirements; and to initiate the change processes that are needed to stay connected to global standards and to remain inclusive.

Even the Brunei Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East Asean Growth Area or BIMP-EAGA Vision for 2025 highlighted the goal to foster shared culture and heritage and strengthened partnerships among institutions providing technical vocational education and training. To narrow the development gap, BIMP-EAGA envisions for a resilient, inclusive, sustainable and economically competitive region.

According to the UNEVOC TVET Program, TVET leaders need to combine key dimensions to be effective in instituting successful and sustainable change management. These dimensions are vision for change; knowledge for change and skills for change.

The gaps in workforce development may be attributed to a number of factors, such as policies, quality framework and industry engagements. If this must be achieved, TVET institutions must meet the demands of the 21st century workplace for skilled manpower and produce graduates that will be equipped with saleable skills for employment.

This webinar will discuss the concept of workplace training in TVET, concept of workplace-school collaboration; need for workplace-school collaboration and bridging the gap to meet the manpower needs. How do we bridge the gap? This has a ticklish issue, however remains a relevant challenge that we can discuss during the webinar.

The topics for discussion in this webinar will mainly focus on the key roles of TVET in workforce development; gaps or problems of TVET institutions; understanding the framework for TVET and industry partnership; share some best practices in the delivery of quality TVET programs.

Hence, it is in this context that this webinar has been proposed to CPSC for TVET providers from member countries of the organization.

Focus

This webinar on the "Role of TVET Schools in Bridging the Gap in Workforce Development" aims to provide an online training platform for CPSC member country’s participants; specifically, it aims to explain the significant role of TVET institutions in workforce development; to discuss the gaps or problems of TVET schools and to share some best practices in the field of TVET.

Objectives

To offer online training to member countries of CPSC

- 5 Core Skills to Be a Good Supervisor (Video)
Supervision and Monitoring of Teaching Processes of TVET Teachers
by Engr. Sanyog Bhattarai

User Login

Background

This concept paper is prepared for the CPSC webinar on the topic “Supervision and Monitoring of Teaching Processes of TVET Teachers”. TVET teaching is more complex and diverse as per technological advancements and teachers need to deal with the young generation of 21st century. The demands on teachers will increase as TVET expands and the level of participation by students increase day by day. TVET teachers now teach a range of qualifications that include higher education qualifications and certificate level in TVET schools, which implies teachers to be versatile and have adequate pedagogical skills to deal with different types of students. TVET institutions need to support teachers to develop the knowledge and skills that will help them become expert teachers as well as industry experts.

TVET teachers with the technological advancements need to be competent in dealing with ICT based education as well as conventional ways of teaching. Whichever teaching mode is adopted, a teacher need to be skillful to motivate students, have two-way communications, use variety of methods and media, have a good presentation skills, and questioning skills.

A TVET teacher plays a vital role in TVET system to impart occupational knowledge and skills to the students. The teachers have responsibilities not only teaching but also guide and be a mentor of the students. Teachers need to abide by the teaching ethics and standards so that learning takes place and learning outcomes are met.

The main purpose of supervision and monitoring of classroom delivery is to assess the teachers’ performance comparing to the pre-defined teaching standards leading to improvements in delivery of sessions. By doing this, TVET institutions are able to identify strengths and weaknesses in delivery, to compare its performance with that of other TVET institutions, to identify opportunities for improvement, to set objectives and targets, and to prioritize the actions required to achieve these. Monitoring and supervision also ensures that the learning outcomes in each session is met and students acquire competencies as per national competency standards.

Hence, CPSC is looking forward to this webinar on “Supervision and Monitoring of Teaching Processes of TVET Teachers” and meet all the CPSC member countries participants & discuss about it. It is hoped that this experience will enable us to think and act differently on planning, organizing, and implementing supervision and monitoring system in TVET institutions.

Focus

This Webinar is focused on understanding the value, its purpose, teachers’ teaching standards, and conducting in a systematic way supervision and monitoring of classroom delivery by TVET teachers. Further the Webinar helps in gaining insights on what should be observed in classroom delivery and how a feedback system works in TVET institutions. The participants will become aware of what improvements on delivery are expected as the results of supervision and monitoring.

Objectives

Share knowledge on supervision and monitoring of teaching processes
Make similar understanding on supervision and monitoring of teaching processes among TVET professionals

Redefining Learning Spaces – Change Agent in Educational Ecosystem
by Dr. G. Janardhanan

User Login

Background

One of the current focus of CPSC is sustainable development in CPSC training programs. This development is possible on transformative change in the training delivery process. What does “transformative change” mean in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?

On the other hand, due to the current COVID -19 situation in Manila, CPSC has suspended its operations and allowed work from home. Therefore, it is important to introduce WEBINAR in CPSC and conduct training programs online.

A webinar is an online seminar that turns a presentation into a real-time conversation from anywhere in the world. Webinars allow large groups of participants to engage in online discussions or training events and share audio, documents or slides – even when they’re not in the same place as the meeting host or in the same room where the event or presentation is taking place.

The next webinar topic is Redefining Learning Spaces – Change Agent in Educational Ecosystem. The role of educational institution is to develop the knowledge-based skill society which meets needs of the global community. Drastic transformation in the learning environment and learning space made significant impact on learning. Acquisition of knowledge take place either inside the classroom (formal learning) or through interaction among individuals / peers (informal learning). Due to the infusion of digital technologies, learning spaces got redefined. Space, whether physical or virtual, need to produce excitement to the learner and enrich their thought process. There is a paradigm shift in the learner expectation which influence the educational institution to move ahead from Brick and Mortar. The learning space is influenced by the facilitators, viz., faculty, librarians, administrators and technologists. Information technology has brought unique capabilities to learning spaces, whether stimulating greater interaction through the use of collaborative tools, videoconferencing with international experts, or opening virtual worlds for exploration.

The physical space of learning need to accommodative with the expectation of current learners. It should provide more scope of exploration, collaboration and discussion. The designer, architect and builders together make learning walls which lead to vibrant educational ecosystem. This is inevitable in the current day scenario towards making sustainable education campus. There seems to be a clear need, therefore, to consider current issues in the design of learning environments, starting from an educational perspective, aiming at those who use educational institution and who would like to think more about how spaces in them might be planned and arranged to facilitate learning and teaching. The current generation learners prefer active, participatory, experiential learning – the learning style they exhibit in their personal lives. The learners live with technology and their behavior may not match their self-expressed learning preferences when sitting in a large lecture hall. Another characteristic of students has an impact on space: time constraints. The majority of today’s students (skill-based education) work part time, commute, and have outside responsibilities. They wish to practice immediately what they have learned through part time assignment. With student attention pulled in multiple directions, how can learning spaces bring students and faculty together, ensuring that the environment promotes, rather than constrains, learning? What we know about how people learn has also changed our ideas about learning space. There is value from bumping into someone and having a casual conversation. There is value from hands-on, active learning as well as from discussion and reflection. There is value in being able to receive immediate support when needed and from being able to integrate multiple activities (such as writing, searching, and computing) to complete a project. And, there is value from learning that occurs in authentic settings, such as an estuary or on a trading floor. How do we turn the entire campus—and many places off campus—into an integrated learning environment? This lecture will focus on this issue and explore future direction.

Focus

This Webinar on Redefining Learning Spaces – Change Agent in Educational Ecosystem.to provide an online training platform for CPSC member country’s participants; to understand the how the learning space act as a change agent in the educational ecosystem. It provides the framework for making the transition from traditional environment and visualize the future of learning centered built environment. Trends in learning space design and how it induces the psychology of learning. Furthermore, this webinar will discuss how to sustain and support learning spaces with assessment strategies for TVET institutions.

Objectives

To examine evidence of the importance of active and collaborative learning and how space can support learning.
To explore a comprehensive support and faculty development framework for learning spaces
To develop a comprehensive framework to help develop ideas for your campus
To explore the nuance of learning space implementation
To evaluate the ideas and integrate to establish learning space.

Teaching Approaches to KSA for Effective Learning
by Ramhari Lamichhane, PhD
- 5 Qualities that 21st Century Teachers Must Have (Video)
Revised Taxonomy of Learning Domain and its Implication in TVET
by Dr. Md. Shah Alam Majumder

User Login

Background

On the other hand, due to the current COVID -19 situation in Manila, CPSC has suspended its operations and allowed work from home. Therefore it is important to introduce WEBINAR in CPSC and conduct training programs online.

The fourth / fifth proposed webinar topic is Revised Taxonomy of Learning Domains and its Implication in TVET. Bloom's Taxonomy is a good heuristic for teachers to understand the varying levels of cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domain that teachers have as outcomes for students. It also helps with assessments in terms of matching assessment items to the level of learning objectives.

Bloom's taxonomy serves as the backbone of many teaching philosophies, in particular, those that lean more towards skills rather than content. These educators view content as a vessel for teaching skills. The emphasis on higher-order thinking inherent in such philosophies is based on the top levels of the taxonomy including analysis, evaluation, synthesis and creation. Bloom's taxonomy can be used as a teaching tool to help balance assessment and evaluative questions in class, assignments and texts to ensure all orders of thinking are exercised in students' learning, including aspects of information searching.

Action verb describes what someone or something is doing or will do and animates a sentence either physically or mentally and use for defining and Writing Learning Objectives / Outcome, determining levels of educational setting and very important for developing competency Standard and the curriculum.

Focus

This webinar on “Revised Taxonomy of Learning Domains and its Implication in TVET” aims to provide an online training for CPSC member country’s participants; Based on an analysis of the Anderson and Krathwohl (2001) revision of Bloom's original 1956 taxonomy namely Anderson's revised and restructured Bloom’s Taxonomy that omits several points within the cognitive dimension and changed taxonomy words from nouns to verbs. Again Philip T. Beckwith, formulate a new version of Taxonomy for higher order cognitive thinking skills in 2018. These new version of taxonomy and proper use of corresponding action verbs are very important in educational settings like curriculum development, writing goal and objective and setting questions for students assessment. These essential pedagogy aspect needs to be share with TVET teachers, trainers, educators and curriculum developer through this webinar so that it can be applied in respective development and practice arena of TVET.

Objectives

To offer online training programs for CPSC member countries participants without any interruption
To Interpret the revised and restructured taxonomy of learning domain
To identify the level wise appropriate action verbs of Knowledge, Skills and Attitude
To apply the acquired knowledge of learning domain in differentiate educational aspects of TVET

Introduction to National Vocational Qualification System (NVQS)
by Ramhari Lamichhane, PhD
Digital Innovation in TVET Sector to Enhance NVQS
by Abdul Ghani Rajput
Nothing Will Change Unless You Change (Video)

User Login

Background and Focus

To produce credible and desired TVET graduates who can contribute to the country’s economic development. It is important to strengthen the relevance and responsiveness of Vocational Qualification Framework (VQFs) programs to the needs of industry. Further it will produce universal citizens for global harmony and prosperity.

In last one decade, the use of technology is increasing day by day and this link is still missing in TVET. Digital skills are driving competitiveness in today’s economy and countries below the digital divide must struggle to bring their populations to a level where they can catch up and then, keep up. What are the implications of digitization to TVET? If there is any system that will truly benefit from the digital economy, it is TVET. Students who go to TVET do not see degrees as more important than the skills they need to get jobs. Unless they have digital skills they will only get jobs as nannies, security guards or drivers of these highly paid digital geeks.

The introduction of national vocational qualification frameworks (NVQFs), including frameworks specifically for the vocational sector, are policy initiatives that have far reaching implications for the management and delivery of education and training. Despite the caution called for by researchers and the challenging reality of implementation in both developed and developing countries, NVQFs continue to be included in national reform programs in many regions of the Asia Pacific region. A particular concern for many countries is improving the relationship between education and training system in one hand and labour markets on the other hand. Increasingly, qualification frameworks have been seen as a useful policy tool to achieve other goals of TVET system.

The popularity of national vocational qualification framework has grown dramatically in last 10 years. Now TVET providers are more focusing on how to further enhance the NVQF system by using digital technologies. The digital applications may be used to enhance and strengthening the VQFs system in order to increase socio economic condition of the country. For example, training needs analysis (TNA) process of vocational qualification can be automated by using different digital applications. Therefore digital applications can be used to improve institutional administration and instruction by moving courses online as an example, so interested individuals can take them while at work or at home.

To share the digital innovation applications and concept, Colombo Plan Staff College Manila is going to organize a webinar on “Digital Innovation in TVET sector to Enhance NVQF”. This webinar will be dedicated to CPSC member countries TVET policy maker, managers, instructors, and practitioners to enhance the NVQFs by adopting latest digital technologies. The topics for discussion in this webinar will focus on practical digital applications such as electronic TVET institute management system, e-feedback system including TNA, curriculum development Extractor (CuDevEx), Teaching workload management system, digital NVQF registry system and digitized M&E system etc. The outcome will be aligned different interpretations and expectations of digital innovation concept from the various stakeholders’ perspectives.

Objectives

To explain the concept digital TVET system to enhance VQFs
To share the digital applications for NVQF including registry system
To identify importance online Curriculum Information Document system

Quality Assurance in Educational Programs through Assessment and Evaluation
by Ramhari Lamichhane, PhD
Test Items Development Techniques for TVET Teachers
by Engr. Sanyog Bhattarai

User Login

Background and Focus

Given the current rapidly-evolving situation with COVID-19, CPSC likes to take this opportunity to reassure that it will continue to deliver programs through the WEBINAR to the valued TVET stakeholders. As a Face-to-Face training is not possible, on-line training is the best solution which is also cost effective and time saving.

This concept paper is prepared for the next webinar topic “Test Items Development Techniques for TVET teachers”. At present, all reputable assessments carried out in TVET systems are competence-based assessment. Assessments are only relevant for the workplace if it has consider prevalent knowledge, abilities and skills which are required in work-based situations.

Assessment provides information that can help improve students’ learning and help teachers in teaching. The role of classroom assessment is to improve students’ learning and teachers’ teaching in order to ensure that students reach their individual potential. Teachers, therefore, generally understand that assessment is integral to teaching. Thus, TVET teachers need to know how to develop test items, administer tests, assign grades as per the results of tests, and report the outcomes of the tests to the concerned authority. Teachers should be able to integrate assessment and teaching to make the teaching process more interesting and to enhance the students’ learning outcome. Teachers need to create and provide opportunities for all students in which students can progress at their own pace and remedial measures need to apply where necessary. After testing a constructive feedback should be given to students based on the ability of individual students to refer to the standard criteria rather than student achievement.

Thus, there are different test items need to be developed by a TVET teacher in order to test students achievements and diagnose learning problems. Those test items are based on Skills, Knowledge, and Attitudes (Soft Skills) which are taught to the students and test is conducted only after students have adequately practiced the skills. Test items need to be developed differently for each domain of learning and there are specific process of developing each test item.

Thus, CPSC is looking forward to this webinar on “Test Items Development Techniques for TVET Teachers” and meet all the CPSC member countries participants & discuss about it. It is hoped that this experience will enable us to think and act differently on development of test items, administrating, and produce tests results in TVET institutions.

Objectives

At the end of the webinar, the participants are expected to:

Bring CPSC member countries participants in one online platform
Understand the TVET Assessment System
Be familiar with the types of test items
Internalize the process of development of each test item
Formulate strategies on adopting test items development process

Quality Management System (QMS) Through APACC Accreditation and Certification of TVET Institutions
by Ramhari Lamichhane, PhD
- APACC 7 Criteria (Video)

User Login

Background and Focus

The Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions in the 21st century play a significant role in the social and economic transformation of society. Critical to that role is a quality management system that assures quality throughout the input, process and output sequence, while providing feedback for continuous improvement to meet the changing needs of its customers. This will maximize the extent to which graduates from TVET institutions will meet the dynamic needs of stakeholders, including students, employers and the nation at large.

Quality can be defined in many different ways. It can mean excellence, zero defects, uniform quality, satisfying customer needs or operational improvement. Quality is always bound to satisfying customer needs. Quality is about making organizations perform for their stakeholders – from improving products, services, systems and processes, to making sure that the whole organization is fit and effective.

A quality management system (QMS) is a formalized system that documents processes, procedures, and responsibilities for achieving quality policies and objectives. QMS helps coordinate and direct an organization’s activities to meet customer and regulatory requirements and improve its effectiveness and efficiency on a continuous basis. Good quality management systems can enhance the organization’s brand and reputation, protect it against risks, increase its efficiency, boost its profits and position it to keep on growing.

Accreditation, as one of the three primary modes of quality assurance, is often considered a step towards establishing a culture of quality – sustained and maintained by defining objectives, developing capacity to achieve them and evaluating whether they are achieved or not. Being a gatekeeper of quality at its threshold, accreditation determines the adequacy of human, physical, and information resources, reinforces results-based approach to evaluation, and provides a firm foundation for its institutions or programs.

The Asia Pacific Accreditation and Certification Commission (APACC) is a regional accreditation and certification body established through the Seoul Declaration 2004, with the Colombo Plan Staff College (CPSC) as the lead organization. It aims to provide international accreditation and certification services towards quality management system of TVET institutions. Its goal is to improve the quality of TVET institutions to produce competent and highly skilled workforce.

In its continuous efforts to widen the reach and strengthen human resources within and outside Asia Pacific region, CPSC is organizing this webinar to enhance participants’ understanding of quality management systems, accreditation as a tool for improving the quality of TVET institutions, and overview of APACC accreditation system.

Objectives

At the end of the webinar, the participants are expected to:

Understand concepts and principles of QMS
Be aware of the overview of APACC accreditation system

Application of Blue Ocean Strategy in TVET Management
by Dr. Vijay Patil
- Introduction to Blue Ocean Strategy (Video)

User Login

Background and Focus

CPSC is committed to developing and enhancing the technician education systems of its member countries through the quality education and training in TVET. However, the whole world is nowadays facing an acute pressure due to COVID -19 issue. CPSC therefore wish to continue its efforts towards its commitment as stated above and accordingly take this opportunity to deliver its training program through online mode viz. WEBINAR for the benefits of its stakeholders.

A webinar is an engaging online event where a speaker, or small group of speakers, deliver a presentation to a large audience who participate interactively through a real-time conversation by submitting and responding questions, and using other available interactive tools. Thus, a webinar is a presentation, lecture, workshop or seminar that is transmitted over the Web using video conferencing software. A key feature of a Webinar is its interactive elements i.e. The ability to give, receive and discuss information in real-time.

The Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector aims to provide systematic and orderly transmission of knowledge, skills and values to develop a workforce that is able to enhance productivity and sustain competitiveness in the global economy. TVET is expected to play two crucial roles of providing training opportunities and providing the skilled manpower for sustainable development. Thus, there is the necessity of improvement in three main issues relevance, effectiveness and efficiency of TVET system. TVET qualifications do not solely guarantee economic freedom. Therefore, it is required to devise certain strategies which could lessen the cut throat competition and thereby keep TVET sector attractive, productive as well as relevant. Therefore, there is a need of some strategy like value innovation which can be a choice between differentiation and low cost that pursue differentiation and low cost simultaneously. It is always better the organizations to redefine the problem, with the intellectual sophistication and technological richness of the innovations. The logic called value innovation is a technique that places equal emphasis on value and innovation and defies one of the most commonly accepted dogmas of competition-based strategy: the value-cost trade-off and is the cornerstone of blue ocean strategy. Blue Ocean Strategy is the recent concept of intelligent strategic evolution to visualize the ideas and manage the organization and is about creating uncontested market space, making the rivals irrelevant rather than competing with them and conveying the infinite possibilities for profitable growth. Strategic planning is necessary to achieve organizational success based on its internal and external dynamics to develop an edge over the competitors. In this context, this Webinar on the topic, “Application of Blue Ocean Strategy for TVET Management” has been planned for the TVET teachers of all member countries to discusses some of the basic concepts, principles and to explore the approaches for building and developing an effective and sustainable framework for managing a TVET institute.

Objectives
