United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, Paris (France).
This publication reports on a workshop to review and analyze existing practices in the design, implementation, and evaluation of curriculum in technical and vocational education (TVE). In the main working document, "Curriculum Development in TVE" (Tom Saluja), are the following: definition of curriculum development; description of how to measure the effectiveness of curriculum and models of curriculum development; and outline of the stages of curriculum development, implementation, and evaluation. Summaries of presentations describe experiences of countries in curriculum development, implementation, assessment, evaluation, and validation. These country papers are included: Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Japan, Mexico, Tanzania, and Uganda. A synthesis of country papers focuses on the following areas: education system, TVE system, responsibility for curriculum development, quality assurance, system of implementation, role of various bodies, constraints, and future trends. Eight major issues with proposed solutions are identified: national socioeconomic development and technological advances; relevance of curricula and competency-based vocational education; feedback from implementation and evaluation; quality of teachers/instructors; attitude of students to TVE; financial resources for curriculum development and delivery; legislation related to TVE curricula; and national institutional capacity in curriculum development. Future strategies and recommendations are listed. A participant list is appended. (YLB)
