In order to enhance the quality of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), the training and improving pedagogical competences of vocational teachers play a significant role. In the Thanyaburi Statement 2013, the organizations including the Regional Cooperation Platform for Vocational Teacher Education and Training in Asia (RCP), the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization – Asia and Pacific Bureau for Education (UNESCO Bangkok), the ASEAN University Network (AUN), the Columbo Plan Staff College for Technician Education (CPSC), the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organisation – Regional Center for Vocational and Technical Education and Training (SEAMEO VOCTECH) và the Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi (RMUTT) determined, that

“TVET-system can only be adapted or improved via sufficiently educated, trained and skilled teachers who can fulfil their duties in personnel and organizational development […]. Vocational Teacher Education study programmes must embrace theoretical knowledge at an engineering and advanced technical level, practical vocational competences and cover a broad variety of teaching skills” (RMUTT et al. 2013; Schroeder 2017).

It can be noted, that besides expertise competences, vocational teachers have to acquire the pedagogical competences with didactical approaches, which are not only modern, innovative but also in line with special characteristics of the field of TVET. Technical didactics, therefore, is an important part within programmes of vocational teacher education (VTE). It provides the theoretical basics in regard to teaching objectives, contents, methods, designing of learning environment, media, strategies of assessment and evaluation in the field of technical training in general and of TVET in particular.
