Abstract

The non-university higher education sector in most countries conveys vocational education. In Japan, both junior colleges and professional training colleges also provide vocational education at Level 5 of the International Standard Classifications of Education (2011). However, the historical origins of these two types of institutions differ and there is ambiguity concerning their objectives and legal requirements for their educational programmes and teaching staff. We argue that there is a need to develop a convergent research framework to assess the career experience and competencies of the teaching staff of such institutions to improve the quality of vocational education. This study investigates the career experience, competencies and identities of teaching staff in the non-university higher education sector to understand how various types of academic qualifications and work experience are related to their careers through the analysis of nationwide empirical survey data in Japan. The results identified four model types of teaching staff members’ career experience: ‘dual’, ‘academic’, ‘vocational’, and ‘other’. While most junior college teaching staff were classified as ‘academic’, there was a conflict between the identities of junior college teachers and institutional demands. ‘Academic’ teaching staff reported conflicting demands when their academic experience did not meet the professional demands made of them by junior college students. Both junior colleges and professional training colleges revealed similar demands; to strengthen teachers’ professional/vocational orientations. However, the historical origins and inertia of such institutions have not supported the improvement of education and training quality offered to students.
