DEVELOPMENT OF TVET LEADERSHIP MODEL AMONG LEADERS IN TVET INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

The first and fifth shifts in the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013 - 2025 is to provide equal access to international quality education and produce high-performing leaders who understand their roles and responsibilities to ensure they can help the Ministry of Education (MOE) provide more competitive students in the job market. The Aminuddin Baki Institute (IAB), is responsible for providing high-impact training to Technical and Vocational Educational Training (TVET) leaders in line with global developments. This study aims to develop a leadership model of TVET among leaders in TVET institutions under the MOE, Malaysia. This study used a design and development research (DDR) approach that emphasizes qualitative and quantitative data collection in three phases, namely the needs analysis phase, the design and development phase, and the evaluation phase. A total of 47 respondents were involved in this study, namely 14 experts (needs analysis phase), 25 experts (design and development), and six experts (evaluation phase). The collected data were analysed using thematic methods (needs analysis phase), the Fuzzy Delphi Method (design and development phase), and the Interpretive Structural Model (evaluation phase). As a result, 13 elements of the TVET leadership model were successfully developed, and their validity evaluated. This model is expected to contribute to the training institutions of TVET leaders and policymakers, as well as TVET-related training modules.
