Transition of Ability Development Subjects in The Vocational Training Instructor Training at Polytechnic University

Abstract

The vocational instructor training curriculum at Polytechnic University in Japan was classified into three periods until 2000: the first period (demand response period), the second period (curriculum continuation and low demand period)， and the third period (response period to advanced and diversified tasks). In this study, I revealed the characteristics of the curriculum after 2000 by comparing it with the curriculum before 2000. As a result, I clarified that the vocational instructor training curriculum after 2000 can be classified into the fourth period before and after (a period of enhancement of instructor response to diversified tasks) and the fifth period (a period of adjustment of instructor training system).
