VET/TVET Terminological Ambiguity from Cross-National Perspective
Chigisheva, Oksana
Bulgarian Comparative Education Society, Paper presented at the International Partner Conference of the International Research Centre (IRC) "Scientific Cooperation" (2nd, Sofia and Nessebar, Bulgaria, Jun 2014)
The paper provides a cross-national analysis of the term 'vocational education and training' in relation to the progressivist economic, social and political approaches to its definition. A wide spectrum of opinions brightly illustrates existing disparity in its understanding within international scientific community. Special attention is given to the instrumental characteristic of the studied VET/TVET terminological agenda. [For the complete Volume 12 proceedings, see ED597979.]
