ABSTRACT

The study sought to establish challenges faced, strategies used as well as opportunities available for the effective implementation of the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) curriculum in colleges in Botswana. Results showed that there are no significant differences in the way curriculum is implemented in public and private TVET colleges. Results further showed that curriculum implementation by TVET lecturers is significantly influenced by the microsystem, mesosystem and exosystem factors and that the implementation is mostly done through the use of lecturer-centered teaching strategies. A number of challenges that affect the effective implementation of the curriculum were identified. Efforts by government to facilitate synergies between TVET colleges and industry hence opening up more sources of funding, and possibilities for skills development and exchange between industry and colleges were opportunities identified that could potentially enhance the implementation of the TVET curriculum.

摘要

该研究旨在确定在博茨瓦纳的大学中有效实施技术和职业教育与培训 (TVET) 课程所面临的挑战、使用的策略以及可利用的机会。结果表明，公立和私立 TVET 学院的课程实施方式没有显着差异。结果进一步表明，TVET 讲师的课程实施受到微观系统、中系统和外系统因素的显着影响，并且实施大多是通过使用以讲师为中心的教学策略来完成的。确定了影响课程有效实施的一些挑战。政府努力促进 TVET 学院和行业之间的协同作用，从而开辟更多资金来源，
