This research examines what high-quality VET delivery looks like in practice, how it is measured and what are the barriers and enablers for registered training organisations (RTOs).
This report is an interim publication for a project that outlines what is known about the quality of teaching, learning and assessment practices in Australian VET and how it might be better measured. It is based on a review of relevant literature and is a precursor to consultations with RTOs that are currently occurring in the next stage of the project.
This study canvassed the views of stakeholders in order to identify the key features of quality teaching in vocational education and training (VET) and how it might be improved. It also involved an environmental scan of VET capability frameworks and standards to determine key domains, roles and capabilities of VET teachers, and three case studies of pilot teacher professional development (PD) initiatives currently underway to improve the quality of teaching. The report also makes reference to key related findings in the literature.
