Abstract

There are different geneses and focuses of TVET curriculum research in different countries and cultures. In the U.S., there are at least three research fields with significant impacts on TVET curriculum research: the theoretical research on general education curriculum; the practice of DACUM and the expertise research. The research results in Germany are fruitful and have rather limited impact on other countries due to the language barrier. There are many problems in TVET curriculum development practices in developing countries lacking solid theoretical basis. This contribution focuses TVET curriculum research, which is categorised into three models: curriculum with theory and practice in parallel (TPP); curriculum with theory in the service of practice (TSP); and integrated curriculum between theory and practice (ITP). Occupational research and qualification research are explained as two empirical bases of TVET curriculum development. It also compares two popular occupation analysis tools in the TVET curriculum development: DACUM and EXWOWO.
