Background and Focus


CPSC is committed to developing and enhancing the technician education systems of its member countries through the quality education and training in TVET. However, the whole world is nowadays facing an acute pressure due to COVID -19 issue. CPSC therefore wish to continue its efforts towards its commitment as stated above and accordingly take this opportunity to deliver its training program through online mode viz. WEBINAR for the benefits of its stakeholders.


A webinar is an engaging online event where a speaker, or small group of speakers, deliver a presentation to a large audience who participate interactively through a real-time conversation by submitting and responding questions, and using other available interactive tools. Thus, a webinar is a presentation, lecture, workshop or seminar that is transmitted over the Web using video conferencing software. A key feature of a Webinar is its interactive elements i.e. The ability to give, receive and discuss information in real-time.


There are many sayings or aphorisms in education, great words of wisdom, and sincere advice from countless sources. It is needless to say that the best and effective teachers are good planners and thinkers. The success of professional teachers doesn't "just happen." The road to success for teachers requires commitment and practice, especially of those skills involved in planning lessons and learning activities, and in managing classroom behavior. Planning lessons, though its implementation being a long-time activity, is a fundamental skill all teachers must develop and improve consistently and fall under the core skills of a teacher.


For a TVET System to be able to play its role effectively, it is important to ensure that there exits an enabling and TVET friendly environment that can be achieved by putting in place harmonized teaching and learning environment through appropriate instructional design and appropriate teaching strategy. Therefore, creating a lesson plan is an important aspect of instructional design. A lesson is an organized set of activities designed to present one manageable sized piece of an academic course content and is different than the lecture. The purpose of a lesson plan is really quite simple; it is to communicate. The lesson plan is to guide TVET teacher in organizing learning material and himself for the purpose of helping students to achieve intended learning outcomes.


Thus, a key principle in creating a lesson plan is specificity. Lesson plans allow the TVET teachers to create and articulate learning objectives, organize and deliver course content, and plan and prepare learning activities and materials. It also outlines the type of informal or formal assessment methods, that TVET faculty will use in their classrooms. It is also an effective instrument to implement the TVET curriculum for achieving specific educational goals and objectives and check whether the desired outcomes are clear and specific in behavioral and observable terms with focus on products or ends.


In this context, this Webinar on the topic, “Lesson Plan Development for TVET teachers” has been planned for the TVET teachers of all member countries to discusses some of the basic concepts, principles and to explore the approaches for building and developing an effective lesson plan.


Objectives


  • To offer online training seminar for TVET teachers of CPSC member countries.

Background and Focus


Given the current rapidly-evolving situation with COVID-19, CPSC likes to take this opportunity to reassure that it will continue to deliver programs through the WEBINAR to the valued TVET stakeholders. As a Face-to-Face training is not possible, on-line training is the best solution which is also cost effective and time saving.


A webinar is an online seminar that turns a presentation into a real-time conversation from anywhere in the world. Webinars allow large groups of participants to engage in online discussions or training events and share audio, documents or slides – even when they’re not in the same place as the meeting host or in the same room where the event or presentation is taking place.


The second proposed webinar topic by CPSC is DACUM Process. As Technical Education and Vocational Training (TVET) has globally been recognized as most effective tool for increasing employment and poverty reduction. The success of TVET education largely depends upon the quality of education and one of the pillar of quality education is curricula. Thus, it is vital for TVET educators to understand the importance, relevancy, and development process of curricula. One of the most important stage in development of curricula is the DACUM. It’s a highly effective, quick, and low cost method to conduct a job, occupational, process, and functional analysis. In TVET high quality education and training programs are needed to produce skilled workers. A job analysis is the best way to gather this information.


DACUM has been successfully used to identify skills and related knowledge that a worker needs to perform a job. DACUM has been used extensively in the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector all over the world to develop technical curriculum. DACUM is used in the occupational analysis phase, after DACUM other stages like validation workshop, competency formation, task analysis, and development of training curriculum follows.


In TVET sector, we have been discussing on how to integrate greening TVET, 21st century skills, and technopreneurship components in curricula. DACUM process will help in understand the integration process. In addition to curriculum development, outcome of DACUM can be used for development competency standards, development of job description, determine training needs, designing performance evaluation, for new supervisors/managers’ to understand what their employees do on the job.


Thus, CPSC is looking forward to this webinar on “DACUM Process” and meet all the CPSC member countries participants & discuss about it. It is hoped that this experience will enable us to think and act differently on development of curricula and integration of different components in a curriculum.


Objectives


  • Bring CPSC member countries participants in one online platform
  • Understand the DACUM process
  • Describe the process of DACUM
  • Internalize the uses of DACUM
  • Formulate strategies on using DACUM process in TVET

Background and Focus


One of the current focus of CPSC is to sustainable development in CPSC training programs. This development is possible on transformative change in training delivery process. What does “transformative change” mean in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?


On the other hand, due to the current COVID -19 situation in Manila, CPSC has suspended its operations and allow work from home. Therefore it is important to introduce WEBINAR in CPSC and conduct training programs online.


A webinar is an online seminar that turns a presentation into a real-time conversation from anywhere in the world. Webinars allow large groups of participants to engage in online discussions or training events and share audio, documents or slides – even when they’re not in the same place as the meeting host or in the same room where the event or presentation is taking place.


The first proposed webinar topic is Readiness of TVET towards IR4.0. As Technical Education and Vocational Training has globally been recognized as most effective tool for increasing employment and poverty reduction. The shortage of skilled worker for the international and local industry is increase day by day and one of the reasons is introduction of Industrial Revolution 4.0 elements in workplace environment.


The revolution brings new exciting opportunities and solutions to global challenges such as automation of industrialization. It will also produce new jobs that have yet to be invented. The critical challenge for skills development is serious skills mismatches despite growing investments in the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). Thus governments, educators and policy maker alike must ask the questions about how they can prepare present and future TVET to thrive in this transforming world. Technical and Vocational Education & Training in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (TVET 4.0) is a complex, dialectical and exciting opportunity which can potentially transform society for the better. The fourth industrial revolution is powered by artificial intelligence and it will transform the workplace from tasks based characteristics to the human centered characteristics. Because of the convergence of man and machine, it will reduce the subject distance between humanities and social science as well as science and technology. This will necessarily require much more interdisciplinary teaching, research and innovation in TVET. Therefore TVET stakeholders in Asia Pacific region have to set new initiatives and make efforts to cultivate holistic, entrepreneurial and balanced graduates to be globally competitive and meet the needs of Industry 4.0.


Objectives


  • Offer online training programs for CPSC member countries participants without any interruption;
  • understand the dynamics of IR 4.0 and its disruption in TVET;
  • identify the components of TVET to address IR 4.0.
