本文提出，南非职业技术教育与培训(TVET)学院的课程需要重组，以支持更多的创新，以响应行业要求和TVET标准。这项研究的最终目的是为南非TVET大学部门的课程改革制定一个框架，该框架将能够支持TVET大学领导者的培训和能力建设，以实现期待已久的课程改革。要实现这一目标，课程领导力至关重要。本研究采用多阶段、混合方法的研究设计，对西开普省五所职业技术教育学院的教职员工代表进行问卷调查和后续团体访谈。基于这些数据来源，这项研究报告了TVET学院当前的一系列课程挑战，这些挑战构成了建议以研究为基础的框架的基础，以培训领导者在TVET课程改革中采取主动。研究结果证实了TVET大学课程改革的必要性，这反过来又要求有能力的课程领导和领导能力的发展。因此，本研究有助于南非TVET课程领导力的理论和实践研究。

To achieve this aim, curriculumleadership is essential. The multi-phased, mixed-methods research design used in this studyinvolved a questionnaire survey and follow-up group interviews with TVET college staffrepresentative of five TVET colleges in the Western Cape province. Based on these data sources,the study reports on a range of current curriculum challenges in TVET colleges which formed thebasis for suggesting a research-based framework to train leaders to take the initiative in TVETcuriculum change. The study findings confirm the need for TVET college curriculum reform,which, in turn, requires competent curriculum leadership and leadership development.
