The Journal of Innovation in Polytechnic Education (JIPE) is pleased to announce the publication of “How do gender dynamics influence the preferences and decisions of an individual in selecting a technical and vocational education and training (TVET) program in Bhutan” Tenzin Choden, MSc.; Pemma Lhaden Lhendup, BA; Sangay Dorji, MSc. 

Abstract:

This research explores various factors that influence the preferences and decisions of women when selecting specific Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs, focusing on individual interests, career prospects and employment opportunities, work environment, family and community influence, representation and visibility, and access to information. The study draws on survey data collected from female trainees enrolled in public TVET institutions in Bhutan. The findings provide insights into the multifaceted elements that shape the choices of female trainees, offering valuable information to support efforts aimed at increasing female participation in TVET programs and enhancing their integration into the labour market. By examining these factors, the research contributes to the broader understanding of how to strengthen Bhutan’s initiatives to empower women through TVET and workforce inclusion.

The Student Feedback Questionnaire (SFQ) invites students to provide anonymous feedback on their learning experience in each course every semester. This initiative supports our shared commitment to ensuring the quality of academic programs at Humber. Student feedback is anonymous and confidential.

Please review these important points about the Summer 2025 Student Feedback Questionnaires (SFQs):

ol {margin-bottom:0in;margin-top:0in;}ul {margin-bottom:0in;margin-top:0in;}li {margin-top:.0in;margin-bottom:8pt;}ol.scriptor-listCounterResetlist!list-73aa6b91-db5b-47d3-ac44-5daa35cf2af20 {counter-reset: section;}ol.scriptor-listCounterlist!list-73aa6b91-db5b-47d3-ac44-5daa35cf2af20 {list-style-type:bullet;}li.listItemlist!list-73aa6b91-db5b-47d3-ac44-5daa35cf2af20::before {counter-increment: section;content: none; display: inline-block;}

  • Some students are unaware of what a Student Feedback Questionnaire is and how it functions. To support students who may be unfamiliar with Student Feedback Questionnaires (SFQs) or unsure about their purpose, consider sharing this helpful video with them before they complete the SFQ: Your Voice Matters - Understanding the Student Feedback Questionnaire.
  • You can include the above video link as part of an announcement on Blackboard once the SFQ is available in your course, or you can schedule 20 minutes of in-class time. Including information about the SFQ in your course ensures students understand the importance and intent of the SFQ process, and provides them with time to reflect on the feedback they would like to provide.
  • Also consider sharing an example of how SFQ feedback, or other kinds of feedback, have helped improve course content over time, as an example for students of what to provide feedback on; this also shows students that their voices are heard.
  • Instructors are also strongly encouraged to enable the SFQ in Blackboard. Students will be able to complete the SFQ through a link sent to their emails, but adding the SFQ tool in Blackboard provides additional visibility and accessibility to the SFQ.

As a thank you to faculty, when more than 50 per cent of the students in a faculty member's course complete the SFQ, the faculty member is automatically entered into a raffle for an on-campus food services gift card, or service at the Humber room.

Learn more about your SFQ dates, troubleshooting, and many other helpful tips and pieces of information for faculty from Innovative Learning's SFQ News webpage.
