Abstract

The Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector in Australia has recently undergone significant changes, notably internationalization, which affect VET operations and the nature of VET teachers’ work. However, there is little empirical research and literature available on teachers’ perceptions of the professional learning they need in order to meet the new demands of their professional tasks under the impact of internationalization. This chapter provides an overview of the sectoral and broader international education context in which this research is located. It also presents the research background and design, and the conceptual framework that is used to interpret teacher professional learning needs and practices in internationalized VET. It concludes by summarizing the key points and arguments presented in the chapters that follow.
