Teaching Management System for Higher Vocational and Technical Education Using Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network Optimized by Fire Hawk Optimization

The vocational education system is currently undergoing purposeful reform and innovation, recognizing the importance of vocational training in the entire educational framework. Assessing and improving teaching quality in vocational education is critical, and addressing this challenge necessitates. The utilize of AI technology, primarily deep learning, is particularly effective in addressing the diverse and sophisticated aspects of evaluating and improving teaching quality. In this research work, Teaching Management System for Higher Vocational and Technical Education Using Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network Optimized by Fire Hawk Optimization (TMS-WGAN-FHO) is proposed. The input data are gathered from School database (Educational data),then, input data are pre-processed using Square Root Cubature Kalman Filter for cleaning data. Then, pre-processed data are given to Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network (WGAN) for evaluating and improving the teaching quality for Higher Vocational and Technical Education. In general, WGAN does not express some adoption of optimization strategies for determining optimal parameters to evaluating, improving quality of teaching management system. Hence Fire Hawk Optimization Algorithm (FHOA) is proposed to optimize WGAN classifier which precisely evaluates the teaching quality Higher Vocational and Technical Education. The proposed TMS-WGAN-FHO method is implemented in MATLAB, and it assessed with several performance metrics likes accuracy, cross validation scores, recall, F1-score, ROC. The results show TMS-WGAN-FHO attains 25.8%, 28.5%, and 21.6% higher Accuracy, 15.1%, 17.2%, and 32.8%higher Precision, 27.5%, 24.6% and 22.3% higher Recall are analysed with existing methods such as, evaluation of the vocational education teaching reform's quality using deep learning (EVE-TRQ-DL), art higher vocational education curriculum design incorporating AI-aided virtual reality technology (AHVE-DIAI-VRT), integrating big data analysis with higher vocational education approaches to educate entrepreneurship and innovation (IBDA-HVE-EEV) methods respectively.

Theoretical and practical exploration of work-based learning curriculum with a case study

This contribution reviews the development of vocational education and training (VET) curriculum development in the last two decades in China, which is categorised into three models: curriculum with theory and practice in parallel (TPP), curriculum with theory in the service of practice (TSP), and integrated curriculum between theory and practice (ITP).

Agricultural vocational education and training for sustainable futures: responsiveness to the climate and economic crisis in Zimbabwe

ABSTRACT With ever-increasing focus from policymakers on the potential of vocational education to provide skills for livelihoods and sustainability in the rural economy, this study set out to investigate attempts at curriculum reform by agricultural technical and vocational education and training providers in the context of the dual crisis – ‘climate and economic’ – in Zimbabwe. The question addressed is: How should the agricultural vocational education and training curriculum respond to the climate and economic crisis to ensure sustainability? The paper highlights enablers and barriers to curriculum responsiveness. Moll’s model of curriculum responsiveness provided analytical lenses for the study. Data collection was through semi-structured interviews, focus group interviews, document analysis and observations, and analysed thematically. The study revealed that the climate crisis in Zimbabwe has affected both government and non-government vocational training centres in several ways. However, the curriculum was 'one-size fits all', focused on the needs of a formal labour market. Such a labour market has been decimated by the economic crisis and climate break down. Hence, providers of agricultural vocational education in rural areas ought to consider re-engineering the curriculum to be more responsive to a range of drivers, including climate change, especially within the rural context.

Enhancing basic computer network learning outcomes of vocational high school students by implementing a video-based learning model

Many students still achieved scores below the minimal completeness criteria when learning basic computer networks. This was because the teacher still uses traditional media, such as printed worksheets in the teaching process which made the learning boring and harder for students to comprehend what the teacher was teaching. Therefore, this research aimed to implement video-based learning within the educational process. This study employed a pre-experiment methodology by using a single pre- and post-test group. Thirty-three students majoring in computer and network engineering served as the research subjects. The paired sample t-test and N-gain score were the data analysis methods employed to examine the efficacy of the video-based instruction. The results demonstrated a significant improvement from students' knowledge before to that of after being engaged in video-based learning. Thus, it is possible to conclude that a video-based instruction can greatly enhance students' understanding on fundamental computer network science. According to the study's findings, the video-based learning ought to be incorporated into the curriculum of vocational education, particularly in the Department of Computer Network Engineering, to ensure that the students fully comprehend the subject matter and that the learning process runs smoothly.

Technical Curriculum Implementation and Evaluation Framework

This study was a response to unemployment, a pervading social problem. One of the solutions to the problem was the training of a workforce that makes them employable. To implement this solution, efforts from all sectors of society need to align. This study takes off from the vantage point of vocational training centers. Specifically, this was about the formulation and application of a technical curriculum implementation and evaluation framework. It identified curriculum implementation components and their subsequent details from actual curriculum-related practices of a group of vocational training centers. Components were identified through observations, informal interviews, and curriculum-related document reviews. Based on streamlined components, a survey questionnaire was made and was conducted to assess the levels of practice of identified curriculum implementation components in the training centers through the responses of technical directors and instructors. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test whether there was a significant difference between the ratings from the two groups of respondents. The following items were the conclusions. Curriculum implementation components were streamlined, formulating an alternative cyclical mechanism for vocational training curriculum implementation and evaluation. Competency transfer and competency assessment were emphasized due to their importance in a vocational training program. There was no significant difference in the responses of the two groups of respondents. Finally, it was found that the training centers can still improve at least a level in all components of curriculum implementation which implies the need for all training personnel to address areas of concern.
