Teachers perceptions towards modules used in vocational and technical education

Abstract

This paper is a situational research aiming at determining teachers’ perceptions with regard to Modules Used in Vocational and Technical Education. The data were collected from 12 teachers via semi-structured interview method. Context analysis is applied for the data. According to the data, teachers have positive ideas in some main points with regard to the modules, but they stated that there were very important problems in the process of their application. There are two main reasons for these problems. First, modules were not prepared by specialist and they were very far from real business life. Teachers’ perceptions towards modules are not different from each other in three different institutions.
