Abstract:
Education is very important aspect of every individual because it is part of life stages and processes. Teacher’s role is very crucial because teachers are the primary factors to enhance the quality of life of the students leading to a productive society. This descriptive research made full use of the convenience sampling of online survey and involved 425 Chinese vocational college teachers in first identified five (5) vocational colleges in China. Results showed that majority of the respondents are male, ages 46-50 years old, teaching for 0-5 years, master’s degree holder, and 21 years and above length of service. Chinese Vocational Teachers are generally agreed in areas of group development. They agreed most on trust/structure, while least on work and productivity. In addition, they generally agreed in areas of team learning. They agreed most on continuous improvement, while least on dialogue promotion and open communication. Moreover, they generally agreed in areas of teaching quality. They agreed most on content, while relative equal on competence and method. Sex especially female, age especially those who belong to age bracket of 51 years old and above, educational attainment especially doctorate degree and length of service with working for more than 21 years have better assessment than others where the variables group according to profile. There is a significant relationship among the three variables which indicates that the better is the group development, the better is the teaching quality, and the better is the team learning, the better is the teaching quality. An enhanced leadership development program for vocational colleges was proposed to address the least responses. This study may acquire a better understanding of the importance of Chinese vocational teachers’ teamwork on group development. This information can help to shape professional development initiatives that encourage effective collaboration and, ultimately, improve the atmosphere for learning and instruction in vocational colleges.
