This chapter explores notions of teaching in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) settings. To do this we willconsider the essential differences between vocational and academic approaches to educationdiscuss the diverse approaches to TVET teaching and the directions in which conceptions of it are movingconsider what the role of being a teacher involves and how teachers are trained and developed to enhance the quality of their practice and vocational competence, andfinally, present some conclusions.The authors' experience is largely in Australia and Europe, and so these will be the focus, and from where examples will be predominantly drawn. These are mature, yet diverse, TVET systems.TVET systems are increasingly becoming recognised by governments as very important to economic development through their focus on skills for the labour market. They are also seen as instruments of social policy, for example to assist those in particular social groups, such as those in poverty, or who lack marketable skills (Basu, 1997).
