✨During the unit, I explored the historical background of TVET, the different philosophical schools of thought that influences education, and how these ideas shape training policies and practices. I realized that TVET is designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice by equipping learners with practical skills that match the needs of industry and society. This realization deepened my commitment to aligning my teaching with real-world applications.
I also reflected on how TVET Philosophy emphasizes inclusivity, equity, and relevance. Unlike traditional education systems tat may focus mainly on academic achievement, TVET is about giving every learner a chance to succeed regardless of background. This philosophy resonates with me because hospitality itself is a field that thrives on diversity, service, and practical skills. Understanding this made me more intentional about ensuring my future training will be learner-centered and relevant to industry demands.
Furthermore the unit challenged me to think critically about my values as a trainer. I learned that my teaching philosophy should reflect not just what I teach , but also how I teach, why I teach, and the impact I want to leave on my learners. This inspired me to begin drafting my own personal teaching philosophy that combines skill-building with mentorship,inclusivity, and professionalism.
