Taiwan’s Ministry of Education launched a government-sponsored teacher preparation program in 2025 academic year to address a severe shortage of industrial subject teachers. The Ministry assigned the Department of Industrial Education at National Taiwan Normal University to lead the implementation. The program adopted a planned cultivation model to address the demand for teachers with professional expertise, hands-on skills, industrial competencies, and pedagogical capacity in vocational senior high schools. This study employed case study and document analysis methods to examine the program’s establishment background, curriculum design, recruitment mechanisms, and operational conditions, while also identifying regulatory constraints and implementation challenges. Findings indicated that the program featured policy alignment, cross-disciplinary integration, practice-oriented design, and rigorous training, reflecting institutional innovation and a commitment to high-quality teacher education. However, the program faced challenges such as insufficient enrollment incentives, limited institutional flexibility, demanding qualification requirements, and difficulties in cross-unit functional coordination. The study recommended strengthening the incentive structure, establishing flexible mechanisms for dropout replacement and buffered teacher certification pathways, providing adequate learning support, enhancing intra-university coordination, and implementing iterative program evaluation. While initial implementation may prove difficult, with proactive problemsolving and continuous improvement, the program is expected to yield substantial results and bring new momentum into Taiwan’s technical and vocational education system. |
