Abstract | The professional development strategies and activities of vocational education and training staff at further education (FE) colleges in the United Kingdom were examined through a mail survey completed by 891 staff members at 108 colleges throughout the United Kingdom (representing 24% of the FE sector). Most respondents (92%) stated that their college had a policy of supporting staff to update their skills and subject expertise, although some staff commented on the lack of a strategic view. For most respondents, the pressing issue was effective implementation of those policies. Staff generally agreed that support from their college was the most important factor in their continuing professional development (CPD). Most respondents (87%) considered their experience in industry relevant to their current teaching role. Nearly all respondents (97%) kept up-to-date through reading, and 75% kept up to date through personal research. Only 27% of respondents used work placements or secondments to the workplace for CPD. Respondents from different subject areas preferred different forms and frequencies of updating. Much of respondents' updating was done outside regular work hours. Bursary schemes that reward teachers financially for work placements appeared to motivate teachers to use holiday periods for updating. (MN) |
