About the Journal

Mission Statement
The Journal of TVET Pedagogy (JTP) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing research, theory, and practical innovation in teaching and learning across Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). The journal serves as a vital bridge connecting academic researchers, polytechnic and vocational educators, industry training partners, and education policymakers.

JTP is published biannually in June and December, strongly encouraging submissions of original research articles, as well as critical reviews and technical reports that deepen the collective understanding of emerging TVET challenges, pedagogical strategies, and workforce development solutions.

  • Digitalization & Educational Technology: Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) simulations, digital twins, AI applications in skill-based instruction, online/blended vocational learning platforms, and instructional media.
