| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to examine the practice and challenges of CT, companies' involvement in CT, TVET colleges and companies' trainers' engagement in CT from trainers' and trainees' perspectives and to determine whether their perspectives are significantly different. The current study also examined the influence of the engagement level of company/enterprise, company supervisors, and TVET College trainers in CT program implementation. For this purpose, the convergent parallel mixed-methods design was employed. A sample of 207 trainers and 211 trainees were involved in this study. A questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were employed to collect quantitative and qualitative data, respectively. Cronbach's alpha value for the reliability of the instrument ranged between .74 and .94. The independent-sample t-test, Pearson's correlation, and regression analysis were used to analyze the quantitative data. The thematic analysis approach was used to analyze the qualitative data by using the research questions as core themes. The study found that the CT practice, company, and TVET trainers' engagement in CT-related tasks was at a medium level, but the companies' involvement in CT implementation was low. The TVET trainers and trainees had significantly different views regarding the level of CT practice, companies' involvement, and supervisors' and trainers' engagement in CT activities. In in addition, the challenges in implementing CT, the findings revealed that overall TVET college-related difficulties have had a medium to high influence on CT practice, Overall challenging factors for TVET trainers have had a smaller impact on CT practice. Overall challenging elements for trainees have had a low impact on CT practice. In conclusion, the companies' involvement level and TVET trainers' engagement level and challenging factors showed large influences on CT practice. Based on these findings, the study recommended the need for devising binding rules and regulations in a way that show the accountability among all the stakeholders of the CT program in the TVET system. | en_US |
