Innovation-Based Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Pedagogy presents a comprehensive exploration of how innovation can revolutionise teaching and learning within vocational and technical contexts. Structured into seven interconnected chapters, the book provides a roadmap that begins with understanding the concept of innovation and progresses toward the future of pedagogical transformation.
The book opens by defining innovation-based pedagogy, highlighting its significance, principles, and the role of teachers as change agents. It then introduces innovative teaching strategies such as project-based learning, problem-solving models, flipped classrooms, and gamification. The text further investigates the digital transformation in TVET through ICT, artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, and blended learning, while also ensuring cyber safety.
Emphasising learner-centred innovation, the book explores personalisation, collaborative learning, creativity, leadership, and emotional intelligence. Assessment is redefined through authentic, skill-based, and technology-supported methods that provide continuous feedback and holistic evaluation. Design thinking is introduced as a structured yet creative problem-solving process, offering teachers a framework to drive innovation. The concluding chapter situates these ideas within global trends, policy support, sustainability goals, and innovation ecosystems.
Blending theory with practical examples, the book encourages teachers to adopt forward-looking practices that resonate with the needs of the 21st century. It is both a reference and a catalyst, inspiring readers to reimagine education as a collaborative, technology-driven, and innovation-focused journey.
