The results of asking a deceptively simple question: what is for sale in Australian VET markets?

ABSTRACT Assuming Australian training markets represent successful policy implementation facilitates an exploration of the implications for their future evolution by querying what is sold in these markets. A Foucauldian discourse analysis of relevant documentation suggests that training markets overwhelmingly provide products and/or services. Further examination finds that these two are conceptually confused as is the contention of a single national vocational education and training market. Ontological rhetorics have been used to indiscriminately conflate products and services in pursuit of preferred political values. The performative work being done by uncritically mingling the discourses of two distinctively different markets for bureaucratic and political purposes, when combined with executive federalism, contributes to VET’s exasperating complexity. Brief transactions that provide multiple useful, yet low-value, compliance-driven products differ substantially from markets that deliver educational services by developing longer term relationships that increase the national stock of higher level occupational skills. Making explicit the different perspectives that have fashioned the product and services artefacts invites more tailored market operational and regulatory approaches as well as creating the possibility of a more inclusive approach to VET policy making and delivery of vocational knowledges.

Do Regulatory and Curriculum Requirements for Interprofessional Practice Align?

While interprofessional (IP) competency and Interprofessional Education (IPE) has received increasing attention in health, agreement on specific competencies and teaching approaches is frequently limited by profession-specific understandings. As part of a quality improvement initiative focused on improving delivery of IPE offerings, this enquiry maps current regulatory and curricula requirements for IP practice to health professional students from 12 professions trained across Aotearoa New Zealand's national vocational education provider. Requirements for IP competency in national accreditation documents and in an operative teaching curricula were mapped for 12 professions, namely, clinical exercise physiology, counselling, massage, medical radiology, midwifery, nursing, occupational therapy, osteopathy, paramedicine, physiotherapy, social work, and sport and exercise science. A desk audit was conducted to identify the presence of core IP competencies for each profession. This involved a four-step process 1) Examination of regulatory standards for each profession to confirm IP requirements for each profession; 2) Examination of an operative curricula from each profession to identify the presence and translation of IP regulatory requirements to each of the profession-specific programs of study; 3) Mapping to identify within domains the core (common) IP competencies across the professions, and 4) Consideration of the similarities and differences between accreditation documents and curricula. Of 12 professions, 10 clearly identified IP competency as an expectation. Clinical Exercise Physiology and Counselling were exceptions with explicit requirement for IP competency not evident. Coordination and collaboration were the most identified competency domains in accreditation documents and curricula. In descending order of prevalence, communication, shared values, reflexivity, role-understanding, and teamwork were also identified requirements amongst the 10 professions with IP competency requirements. The IP competencies identified as common across professions can be used to inform development of teaching and assessment. Greater alignment between teaching curricula and required competency standards in this area is recommended.

Research on Online Teaching Reform of E-commerce Courses in the Context of New Liberal Arts

With the development and application of contemporary information technology, in 2019, the document "National Vocational Education Reform Implementation Programme" proposed the development of the teaching mode of "Internet+ Education", that is, the use of modern and advanced information technology into the traditional classroom teaching mode, which has had a significant impact on the concept of vocational education and teaching methods. This has a significant impact on the education concept and teaching method of vocational education. As China's higher education institutions have long been bound by traditional concepts, there are problems such as insufficient use of information technology, low participation in the classroom, insufficient prominence of the student's subject position, and little interaction between teachers and students. Blended teaching, as a new teaching mode supported by network online technology, integrates online learning with traditional offline teaching, which not only makes use of the resource advantages of online learning to meet the individual needs of students, but also gives full play to the advantages of teacher dominance and systematic teaching in traditional teaching, and has received widespread attention from teachers and students. In this paper, we first sort out the literature on blended teaching in the past ten years, then analyse the pre-design of blended teaching mode for the course of "Fundamentals of E-commerce", design a blended teaching example and apply it to offline teaching practice, effectively combining pre-course independent pre-study, in-course discussion and learning, post-course consolidation and enhancement and offline classroom teaching, and finally analyse, discuss and summarize the effect of the practical application of blended teaching.

Reflection on China’s higher vocational education entrance examination: lessons from the imperial examination in modern China

AbstractThe higher vocational education entrance examination is crucial not only for improving China’s vocational education system but also for promoting economic development. Although China has placed an unprecedented emphasis on reforming the higher vocational education entrance examination in recent years, this reform is still fraught with many challenges. Very few studies have attempted to draw lessons from history for China’s current reform of the higher vocational education entrance examination. This study fills this gap by examining the connections between the imperial examination and China’s vocational education during the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic period to shed light on China’s current reform of higher vocational education entrance examination. The institutional logics theory has provided useful tools for this study. Drawing lessons from the past, this study makes the following suggestions: (1) the need to transform a social environment dominated by academic and official oriented institutional logics into a one that is more influenced by the logics of craftsmanship spirit; (2) the need to readjust the examination content for the higher vocational education entrance examination; and (3) the need to establish a national unified higher vocational education entrance examination system to ensure students’ equity and fairness. This study calls for more research on the imperial examination to shed light on the reform of China’s contemporary higher vocational education entrance examination.

Based on the analysis of the current situation of the construction of teaching materials for higher vocational education, we explore the ideas for the development of work manual teaching materials, aiming to provide some reference for the development of teaching materials for vocational education in the new era.

Exploration of Innovative Training Mode of School-enterprise Network Marketing

The characteristic of higher vocational education is to pay attention to the cultivation of students' skills, practice and professionalism, and the construction of off-campus practical training base is the key to realize the above skills of students. Both off-campus training bases and on-campus training bases are important components of practical teaching in higher vocational colleges. There are great differences between them in basic functions, functions, operation and management modes. With the reform and rapid development of national vocational education, the advanced concepts of teaching, teaching materials and teaching methods are constantly updated. Under the basic background of ideological and political construction of the course, innovation and entrepreneurship drive, the reconstruction of teaching content, loose leaf teaching materials and project-based teaching method can be flexibly applied in the actual teaching of network marketing comprehensive practical training course. While improving the teaching effect on campus, higher vocational colleges should enhance their ability to serve the regional economy, integrate social services with curriculum construction, and improve teachers' social service ability by means of the integration platform of production and education.
