Over the last two decades, massive growth and innovation in technology have brought about changes in education, training and employment. These changes are likely to impact workforce planning, workforce development and particularly teaching and learning processes for years to come. Researchers are particularly interested in how these changes affect curriculum development to meet skill demand for the future and how best to utilise new delivery/assessment modes. Other key aspects of research in this area relate to digital skills, including those involved with social media, and trends in employment resulting from technological innovations and their overall impact on future labour markets; the outcomes of which inform the capacity building of future vocational education and training (VET) practitioners.
Key research from a broad date range
National research priorities 2017 onwards
Rapid advancement in technology is changing way we live, learn and work. NCVER's current research includes projects that investigate: how to effectively equip the workforce with appropriate digital skills for enhanced workplace participation and sustainable economic productivity; issues related to meeting the demand for skills in the future; students use of social media and developments with assessment practices related to the use of social media; and the anticipated skills needed from both the innovators (technology producers) and industry (technology users) perspectives.
