The impacts of Industry 4.0 are manifold. All the working areas in a smart factory are confronted by new working opportunities offered by using Cyber Physical Systems and the changes in work-processes and work organization. Dealing with a number of different data formats, high quantities of data, cloud computing, data safety and data mining are new dimensions of work on the shop floor with which everybody is confronted. The aim of this booklet is to appraise the impact of digitalization and to provide guidelines and further training concepts for [technical and vocational education and training] TVET teacher training for coping with this phenomenon in Asian countries. With support from the [Regional Cooperation Programme to Improve the Quality and Labor Market Orientation in TVET] RECOTVET programme, the [Association of Southeast Asian Nations] ASEAN members have identified five state-of-the-art in-service training modules that are high on their agenda in the era of industrial change. The modules were developed for transnational use by the Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) together with the South East Asian Ministers of Education Organisation Regional Centre for Vocational and Technical Education (SEAMEO VOCTECH) and ASEAN. The modules are: (1) Innovative Teaching and Learning for Industrial Changes due to Industry 4.0; (2) Professional Development Training for Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Teachers in Industry 4.0; (3) Curriculum Design for Industry 4.0 Work-process; (4) Quality Assurance and Quality Development in TVET Institutions; and (5) Industry and TVET Institutions Linkages.
The training modules have been designed to support TVET trainers, lecturers and instructors in the field of digitalization through innovative teaching and learning, quality assurance and quality development in TVET as well as to maximize the competence of TVET managers of TVET institutions to keep up with the changing world. The training of multipliers will take place in close collaboration with SEAMEO VOCTECH Regional Centre with the regional training modules integrated into the regional training programmes offered by the Centre. After the training in 2020, around 200 TVET practitioners in the ASEAN region will have become multipliers and TVET training institutions in Brunei, Cambodia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor Leste and Vietnam will have incorporated the in-service training modules in their TVET system as well as provided training on the developed modules effectively at the national level.
