An Exploration Into Factors Influencing Technical Vocational Education and Training Success for Sustainable Development in Taiwan

• In Event: International Perspectives in Assessment

Abstract

The study examines what factors influence Taiwan’s Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) success in sustainable development. By using the quantitative data from survey, this study uses OLS regression and logistic regression models to investigate the relationship between TVET goals, achievements, and resources and what the factors influence the perceived success. The results show that there is an association between perceived success to higher-level work and related resources, funding, and goals. The three factors that influence sustainable development in TVET – success to higher-level work, are resources to higher-level study, resources to higher-level work, and qualifications to higher-skilled occupation. The study has implications for policymakers and administrators to increase the related resources for enhancing the success of TVET in sustainable development.
