The influence of learning outcomes on pedagogical theory and tools

Research reveals that VET teachers and trainers are often presented with different theories, but these are rarely explicitly linked with the learning outcomes approach. Instead, future practitioners in most countries are introduced to learning outcomes in practical terms, referring to how they are used in standards underpinning qualifications and VET curricula. Providers of training for VET teachers and training are predominantly supportive of the learning outcomes approach, though some report weaknesses in implementation in VET.
