TVET research can make a significant contribution to the understanding and shaping of education systems, education courses, and processes with its research and development projects. This book contains studies of the profiles of TVET researches in China, Germany, Israel, Korea, and The Netherlands, and in the United States. This book alongwith his 12 contributions opens upan access tothe questions, methods, and results of TVET research for the researchers and students of vocational pedagogy, education sciences, and the students in vocational teacher training. It has two functions. It describes the TVET research in its fundamental research fields with its questions, methods, and results—at a glance—so that the readercanacquireasolidknow-how,whichtheycanuseitfortheirfutureTVET praxis. For students who strive for a career in the TVET research, it provides a broad basis, which makes it possible to acquaint themselves deepening with specific fields of TVET research on the basis offurther literature. ix Chapter 1 TVET-Research: An Introduction Felix Rauner and Zhiqun Zhao Researchontechnicalandvocationaleducationandtraining(TVETresearch)isan established sector of educational research, because TVET is considered as part of thenationaleducationsystem,evenifitisoftenonlyinsufficientlyintegratedinto it. The features of TVET and VET research already become clear, similarly the difference between occupational research and TVET research. The difference is caused by the phenomena of vocation (Petersen 2006; Dostal 2006). The occu- pational research is different between employment occupation and training occu- pation. The start point for TVET research is training occupation, while the employmentoccupationissubjectofthelabormarketresearch.Theyareclassified internationally by the ILO as the ‘‘International Standard Classification of Occu- pations’’ (ISCO), thereby the ILO aims to increase the transparency and compa- rabilityofthenationallaborjobmarketsandthenationaloccupationclassification systems. In the ‘‘Dictionary of Occupational Titles’’ (the USA) is often distin- guishedamongmorethan10,000employmentoccupations.Theclassificationand survey of employment occupations is therefore subject of the occupational researchwiththeorientationofthedevelopmentoflabormarketsandemployment systems. It is different from occupational research as a research field of TVET research, whose concern is development and analysis of training occupations as the start point for shaping and organization of TVET programs. Finally, occupa- tionalresearchisalsothesubjectoflaborscienceandhumanresourcesresearchas subarea of business administration research. The research and development interesthereresultsfromtheeffectsofjobdesignandworkorganizationonhuman resources management and thus on the increasing productivity as well as com- petitiveness of companies and branches.
