Vocational Education Teachers: Perspectives on the Standing of Their Educational Sector and How It Might Be Improved
Billett, Stephen; Choy, Sarojni; Le, Anh Hai; Hodge, Steven
International Journal of Training Research, v21 n1 p1-17 2023
Young people's decision-making about postschool pathways are influenced and shaped by parents, teachers, and other familiars. Yet, these familiars are often uninformed about vocational education as it has not been part of their personal experience. Instead, they may reflect and further embed the relatively low standing of that option. The lack of access to informed advice potentially leads to privileging university entrance, and post-school pathways not aligned with young people's capacities and interests. This raises questions about whether advice, from those familiar with this educational sector and occupations it serves (e.g. vocational educators), would offer different and more helpful advice than familiars. Reported here are perspectives of and advice provided by over 300 vocational educators about educational/training course that may suit young people's needs, preferences, and ways of engaging and informing them about post-school pathways, and how to enhance vocational education's standing as a potentially viable post-school pathway.
