The Model Programme is, by definition, a programme centred on provision of transnational education. A key element of the Model Programme Work Plan for 2015/2016, the “information sharing and research project”, is focused on assuring quality outcomes in TNE.

Research Project: 2015/2016 The first stage – information sharing – involves both countries gathering information from a variety of sources to highlight the “standards” used in the design, development, deployment and evaluation of technical and vocational education and training In stage two, researchers from both countries will compare and discuss the quality assurance systems of the Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) of both PRC and NZ. The research will focus on TVET Quality Standards and will make recommendations to update the current TVET quality standards in the two countries

Research in progress: Three fundamental steps Phase 1: Establish Current State: Describe the critical features, standards and indicators used nationally, institutionally and at an individual programme level. Phase 2: Comparative Analysis: The identification of the features, standards, processes and procedures will then enable comparative analysis to undertaken. Phase 3: Recommendations: Recommendations will be made on how quality assured NZ- PRC model programmes and qualifications can be delivered and monitored.

Qingdao Technical College (QTC) During the course of this Forum, you will hear presentations from six scholars from QTC, led by their Team Leader, Ya Mei. This work is focussed on quality aspects at the institutional and course level.

The Scholars have been studying New Zealand pedagogical approaches during their time at Wintec and have now designed research projects that will: Embed aspects of the New Zealand approach (such as student centred learning) into existing courses at QTC. Run the course and assess the impact of this new approach on outcomes The final research results will be presented at the Nov 2016 Forum and will form part of the output of the information sharing and research project. Research Programme – Course Level

Two key outcomes of the Phase 1 of the Information Sharing and Research Project: 1.Identification of institutional criteria (standards) that ensure partners selected are able to co-develop programs and qualifications that first, promotes and secondly, protect the reputation of the qualifications offered, the institutions involved and the national training system of the respective countries. 2.Design based research. QTC and Wintec are designing research which will result in assessment of the practical implementation of New Zealand educational approaches into Qingdao Technical College courses.

Three key aspects of Phase 1 of the Information Sharing and Research Project: 1.Information sharing around the NZ Tertiary Education Strategies (TEC) and the system level quality assurance framework and processes (NZQA). 2.Identification of institutional criteria (standards) that ensures partners selected are able to co-develop programs and qualifications that first, promotes and secondly protects the reputation of the qualifications offered, the institutions involved and the national training system of the respective countries. 3.Design based research. QTC and Wintec designing research which will result in assessment of the practical implementation of New Zealand educational approaches at Qingdao Technical College.
