On Job Training (OJT) is best for skill development and attitude change. Implementation of OJT which focuses on the transition of students to working life, however with little attention given to the process of assessment in OJT. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the OJT assessment problems among Construction Technology students in Malaysian Vocational College. The research design for this study uses a survey that was carried out qualitatively through semi-structured interviews among Construction Technology students, lecturers and experienced construction practitioners. From the data analysis, it has been identified that there is an inadequacy of OJT assessment rubric in assessing the skill and knowledge of the construction technology students. This has been contributed with the used of holistic rubric for the OJT assessment which has been designed to be use by every course in the Vocational College. The result also revealed that allocation of marks in the assessment rubric is not commensurate with some construct assessed and need to be reviewed. This study shows that an assessment rubric should emphasizes on specific knowledge and skills in assessing students’ competency during training program and in this case to produce competent site supervisor. In addition, a good assessment rubric should consider the tasks and marks thoroughly to avoid biasness among students. Therefore, it is suggested to carry out further study in investigating the validity and reliability of current industry’ OJT assessment rubric for the Construction Technology students.Key Words: On Job Training; Construction Technology; An assessment rubric; Competency; Validity and reliability.

With the in-depth reform of our country's economic system, the demand for professional talents is increasing in economic development. As a main position for cultivating skilled and application-oriented talents, higher vocational colleges are self-evident in the importance. As a major feature of higher vocational colleges, practical training courses play an irreplaceable role in improving the quality and level of talents. This paper takes the intelligent buildings in higher vocational colleges as an example to discuss the teaching of practical courses. With the rapid development of modern intelligent buildings and smart homes in our country, the demand for intelligent talents has increased dramatically. In the early 21st century, China approved the establishment of the " intelligent building engineering technology" major in higher vocational colleges. This major integrates computer communication technology, construction technology and automatic control technology. This major is very applicable and practical, but many higher vocational colleges were weak in practical training. Next, I will discuss some reflections on the teaching of training courses for intelligent buildings in higher vocational colleges.

The roadbed structure and construction course is a compulsory course for the major of road and bridge engineering technology in higher vocational colleges. The content of the course is theoretical, the formula is complex, and it is difficult to understand, which increases the difficulty of students’ learning, especially under the traditional “indoctrination” theoretical teaching mode , Classroom teaching efficiency is low, and students tend to lose interest and confidence in learning. With the application of BIM technology, students were visually shown the relationship between subgrade structure and construction components and construction links, with remarkable results. This article focuses on the problems related to the teaching of roadbed structure and construction courses based on BIM technology.

Objectives: To investigate the pre-job training demand of nursing students in higher vocational colleges, lay a foundation for the development of scientific and standardized pre-job training program and help nursing students smoothly transition to clinical practice state from student status. Methods: A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate 822 nursing students of grade 2018 in our school from four aspects: the necessity of pre-job training, the demand content of pre-job training, the demand of skill enhancement program, and the stress source of pre-internship. Results: Demand rate of the pre-job training of nursing students in the college was 99.5%, and main demand of the training content were nursing skill training (96.8%), nursing safety and occupational protection (95.1%), nursing theory training (92.9%); the main demand of nursing skills enhancement program were closed intravenous infusion (90.3%), (intradermal, subcutaneous, intramuscular) injection (87.8%), cardiopulmonary resuscitation (81.8%), and indwelling catheterization (77.5%); the main stress sources of pre-internship was lack of confidence in theory and skills, accounts for 61.1% in total 760 students. Conclusion: The pre-job training courses in higher vocational colleges should be close to the clinical needs of students, it is necessary to carry out pre-job training courses according to main demand of the training content, the main demand of nursing skills enhancement program and the main stress sources of pre-internship in the college; this article may provide reference for our school and other vocational colleges to develop pre-job training program.

This study seeks to identify the level of general competency of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) lecturers of construction technology civil engineering (CTCE) of vocational college using the standard model of competency requirement based on grade of lecturer and years of teaching experience. The data were analyzed using the SPSS Version 20.0 software, which involved descriptive statistical method, mean, and standard deviation. Data collection for the assessment phase involves construction technology lecturers from 45 vocational colleges in all the states in Peninsular Malaysia. The respondents of the study were 304 lecturers who taught CTCE courses in vocational colleges from 14 states, namely Johor, Sarawak, and Federal Territory (Kuala Lumpur and Labuan). Finding shows that the professional general competency level of TVET CTCE vocational college lecturers based on years of teaching experience is high with satisfactory interpretation. It also shows that the level of professional competency of TVET CTCE lecturer of vocational college based on grade of the post is high, whereas the level of entrepreneurship skill competency as a whole is at moderate level. There was a slight decrease in the proficiency level profile of the CTCE lecturer who had more than 15 years of experience compared with those with teaching experience of 15 years or less. There found positive relationships between the dimensions of professionalism and the generic skills. The findings of the study will help the Ministry of Education in particular public or private institutions of higher learning in preparing TVET lecturers to become specialized, highly skilled, competent, and efficient in civil engineering courses in the attempt to strengthen the teaching profession, especially in technical and vocational education, which is in line with the aspirations of the 21st-century education.
