Vocational teachers' professional learning: A systematic literature review of the past decade

In the last decade, how to promote in-service vocational teachers' capabilities has become one of the most important concerns in the field of vocational education. This study presents the results from a systematic review of vocational teachers' learning activities and outcomes, based on an analysis of 54 journal articles published between 2010 and 2021. These results illuminate that, first, vocational teachers' learning can occur in academia, school workplace, and industry settings, and in various formal and informal ways. Second, vocational teachers' learning outcomes are related to the changes in their cognition and behaviour as well as student and institutional benefits.(c) 2022 The Authors.
