Modularization in vocational education and training
- Abstract:
- Modularization as a practice and a concept of structuring curricular materials and/or qualifications in vocational education and training (VET) in self-contained, relatively short blocks has been used and discussed in a number of national systems for many years. This article discusses different definitions of modules in VET in a comparative perspective, sets out characteristics of modules, compares two different sets of conceptualizations of modularization, and outlines some recent trends in modularity in VET. It argues that different conceptualizations of modules can only be understood and assessed meaningfully if the traditions of different VET systems and the rationales for developing modules in a given regulatory framework are taken into account. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
