Delphi Study for developing the new generation of curricula of Higher Vocational Schools in Austria

Austrian Ministry of Education, Science and Research

This research project is based on a Delphi study to identify and specify fields of action and common goals for the development of the curricula of higher vocational schools in Austria. The study is initially intended to provide an empirical basis for decision-makers in education policy. In addition, the results will enhance education and vocational training research in Austria as well as allow the representatives of the vocational school system (especially curriculum committees, school principals and teachers) and social partnership interest groups to understand the challenges that the educational sytem is facing. Finally, the results are also highly relevant to tertiary teacher trainers (universities and teacher training colleges).
