| description | Curriculum is one of the most important elements in the Technical Education and
Vocational Training system. Nonetheless, the existing National Occupational Skill
Standard (NOSS)-based curriculum was found incapable of playing this role for its
approach had created issue of workers being produced not meeting the needs of the
industry or mismatch. In addressing the issue, the Malaysian government has decided to
implement the National Dual Training System (NDTS) in 2005. The development of the
NDTS curriculum was started in 2004, with the help of industry experts and skilled
workers and guided by overseas consultants. However, the development of the NDTS
curriculums was very time consuming. This has resulted in a serious scarcity in the
number of curriculum. Worse still, the completed curriculums have been found
inadequate that discouraged industry participation in the training programmes. Study
showed that it stemmed from the absence of a good framework for the curriculum
development in the country. Thus, it is paramount to make the needed NDTS curriculum
framework available. The study adopted the qualitative research approach and the data
collection methods were interviews, document reviews and observations. The existing
practices of the NDTS curriculum development were investigated and analysed to unveil
the actual way of developing the curriculum. The findings were benchmarked against the
practices applied by developed countries to evaluate whether the NDTS curriculum
development processes were in line with theirs in terms of dual training concept, work
process analysis and establishment of working team. Ultimately, the study came up with
a curriculum development framework to benefit all parties involved in training
especially the curriculum developers to produce good curriculums within a reasonable
time frame. |
