1. Overview of the Project

Needs of teacher training system for teachers in technology stream

Establish A/L technology stream tocultivate qualified human resources

Needs for detail plan to establishment And operation for Technical NCoE

Needs of action plan for preparation of five-year implementation plan

Promotion to Develop the Joint Action Plan for the

Project “Establishment of

National College of Education and

Teacher Training System for A/L

Technology Stream

The Technology Stream was newly introduced to GCE ALs in 2013

Only 20% of Sri Lankan students enters into university while 80% participates in the programs of

vocational centers, goes into job market, or remains unemployed after GCE A/Level (see Appendix 1, 2)

Increasing request of cultivating qualified teachers who can satisfy the needs of the academic and job

market

Based on these consideration, the establishment of 20th NCoE in technology stream was determined

2. Strategy of Curriculum development for Technical NCoE

Trends of labor market

Industrial growth

Nourishment of expertise in

Technology stream

Needs huge number of

teachers for A/L Technology

Stream

Generalist for Technology

Stream

Current Demands

Futuristic Demands

One curriculum

for two stringent

demands

Hybrid curriculum

for Technical NCoE

-8- KOICA Research Team-8- KOICA Research Team

2-1. Advantages of Hybrid curriculum proposal for Technical NCoE

Total credits will satisfy NIE guideline for bachelor degree

Core common subjects will be established in technical NCOE which introduces engineering

technology and Bio-system technology

Core common subjects will be mandatory courses of each departments which will nourish

future teacher in A/L technology stream

Science for technology will establish knowledge foundation for admitted students from A/L

technology stream

Core common subjects will establish knowledge foundation for admitted students from A/L

general subject students

Teacher should be ready for introduction of cross cutting technology so that A/L students will

be easily fitted to the development of industry

Except core common subjects, each department has specialty in their majors.

Specialty subjects will be mandatory courses in each of department

Strategy 2: Fostering Additional Specialty

Strategy 1: Generalist with Broader Knowledge
