Abstract

The vocational education and training (VET) sector plays a crucial role in Australia’s education system. Associated closely between the VET provision and industry, VET training quality is continually at the heart of debates in the process of implementing the Australian VET reform agenda. In response of key themes of this reform process, investigating the training efficiency of VET through the linked efficiency between teaching and industry responsiveness is imperative. The paper aims to address this objective by using the dynamic network data envelopment analysis in a balanced panel data for 2008–2012. This advanced model allows to assess simultaneously the efficiency of two nodes, teaching and industry responsiveness, and the overall dynamic training efficiency of VET based on fields of education in a network structure. We found that the overall training efficiency of VET is, on average, 0.835 while the mean divisional efficiencies of the teaching efficiency and industry responsiveness are 0.763 and 0.908, respectively. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to examine dynamic changes of the efficiency of the teaching and industry linkage following various period weights. Policy implications are drawn for the Australian VET sector.

澳大利亚职业教育与培训中教业联动的效率
职业教育和培训(VET)部门在澳大利亚的教育体系中起着至关重要的作用。职业教育培训质量与行业密切相关,在实施澳大利亚职业教育培训改革议程的过程中,职业教育培训质量一直是争论的核心。为了响应这一改革进程的关键主题,通过教学和行业响应之间的关联效率来调查职业教育培训效率势在必行。本文旨在通过在2008-2012年的平衡面板数据中使用动态网络数据包络分析来解决这一目标。这种先进的模型可以同时评估两个节点的效率,即教学和行业响应能力,以及基于网络结构中教育领域的VET整体动态培训效率。我们发现,VET的整体培训效率平均为0.835,而教学效率和行业响应性的平均分工效率分别为0.763和0.908。通过敏感性分析,考察教学与产业联动效率随不同时期权重的动态变化。对澳大利亚职业教育培训部门的政策影响。

期刊介绍: The main focus of this journal is to provide a platform for original empirical investigations in the field of professional, vocational and technical education, comparing the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of different vocational education systems at the school, company and systemic level. The journal fills a gap in the existing literature focusing on empirically-oriented academic research and stimulating the interest in strengthening the vocational part of the educational system, both at the basic and higher education level.
