Pedagogy for Vocational and Professional Education and Training (VPET)
Effective and appropriate pedagogies are important in facilitating learning in vocational and professional education and training (VPET). In this workshop, suitable VPET pedagogical practices such as differentiated instructions, work-integrated learning and technology enhanced learning (TEL) will be introduced. Specific instructional strategies in the context of VPET will also be discussed in the workshop.
Upon completion of this workshop, participants would be able to:
- reflect on specific learning and teaching strategies for teaching vocational courses; and
- select suitable pedagogical practices for facilitating learners to acquire knowledge, trade-specific and transferrable skills.

Massive open online course (MOOC), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), in-class clickers and mobile learning applications will be introduced. Demonstration and hands-on practice on the technologies will be provided, to help participants design flexible and blended learning and teaching activities.
