  1. Identifying VET teacher knowledge and skills at higher AQF levels Steven Hodge, Roslin Brennan Kemmis, Jillian Downing and Michele Simons

  2. Introducing ACDEVEG • The Australian Council of Deans of Education Vocational Education Group • Productivity Commission study of the VET workforce • Task of identifying the higher education contribution to VET teacher and trainer development

  3. Mapping HE VET teacher qualifications • Involved analysing 30 VET teacher programs offered by 11 higher education institutions • Programs include Associate Degrees (AQF 6), Bachelors Degrees (AQF 7), Graduate Certificates and Diplomas (AQF 8) and Masters Degrees (AQF 9)

  4. Knowledge & skill focus areas • Context – social, policy, systemic • Curriculum, program and learning strategy • Teaching and learning • Literacy and numeracy • Learner diversity

  5. Knowledge & skill focus areas (continued) • Assessment and evaluation • Workplace and organisational context • The VET profession • VET research • Leadership and management

  6. One qualification mapped to the AQF • The University of Tasmania Bachelor of Education (Applied Learning) • The AQF ‘dimensions of learning outcomes’ as a mapping framework • Yields a rich picture of the knowledge and skills developed by VET teachers undertaking the program

  7. Current focus Analysing models for representing professional knowledge and skills, e.g. • IBSA VET Practitioners Capability Framework • AITSL Professional Standards for Teachers • Turner-Bissett’s Teachers’ Professional Knowledge Bases • Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy

  8. Favoured model Heath et al’s Education Discipline Threshold Learning Outcomes model (ALTC/ACDE 2011) • Aligns to AQF levels and dimensions of learning outcomes • Provides a rich picture of the body of knowledge and skills underpinning teachers’ work • Can be customised to reflect the knowledge and skills specific to VET teachers (as revealed in the ACDEVEG mapping work)

  9. Next steps • Build on the ALTC/ACDE TLO model to produce a statement of the VET teacher and trainer body of knowledge and skills • Used in future development and refinement of ACDEVEG qualifications • Used to represent VET teacher knowledge and skills at higher AQF levels for prospective students and stakeholders
