Technical and Vocational Education and Training (Tvet) Student Teachers’ Supervision: Practices and Challenges

Abstract

This article explores the challenges and expectations in supervising student teachers in technical education and training programs (TVET). This article is based on a comprehensive literature review to collect and synthesize research findings from various sources related to technical and vocational education and training (TVET) students’ teacher supervision. A systematic literature review has been conducted to identify scholarly articles, research papers, reports, and reputable publications related to TVET teacher supervision. This study found that supervisors play fundamental roles in teacher education, facilitating students’ teacher training, bridging the gap between schools and universities, and advocating for the teaching profession. The interaction between supervisors and teachers is vital for novice teacher development, given the substantial influence these experienced mentors have on their training. This study suggests that Collaborative efforts between supervisors and students teachers are essential to create environments that enhance practical teaching experiences for TVET students teachers. These efforts ensure mutual respect and support while providing necessary training and guidance for both parties involved.
