Abstract

Convergence elements between Vocation Training and University: implication for the quality of superior professional trainingSalto de línea Salto de línea The present article initially presents an analysis about the relation between University and Vocational Training (Where do we come from? Where are we? and Where are we heading towards?), from which it is intended to manifest the elements of convergence between both areas of education,from the revision of what may be called an education policy,based on a number of articulated dimensions that take on board the centralization-decentralization of decisions, migrations, professional qualifications, new technologies and management. From this analysis the different challenges and implications for quality in education are examined and specified according to knowledge and curricular coordination, curricular design of the vocational training, institutional context of operation and the new roles and professional skills of trainers. In short, an overview of the above is finally carried out from the vocational training perspective.
