Efficacy of an Online Pedagogy on TVET Practical Skills Training Delivery: A Quasi-Experimental Study

Abstract

: To commit to the ‘everywhere’ access to TVET practical skills (at and away from the training institution), there is need for empirical evidence that supports the idea of delivering practical skills training through an online pedagogy. As such, the purpose of this study was to analyse and compare delivery of TVET practical skills training of face-to-face and online pedagogies in order to determine the efficacy of an online pedagogy on TVET practical skills training. A quasi-experimental design was used for the study so as to identify a comparison group (face-to-face pedagogy) from which baseline data was captured and compared with outcomes of the treatment group (online pedagogy). The population sample (N) for this quasi-experimental study consisted of Instructors (n = 20)
