About TVETipedia Glossary


TVETipedia is an online information tool for TVET experts, initially developed by UNESCO-UNEVOC in 2007 and launched in 2009. In 2013, it was reconceptualized to cater to the growing need for a common TVET glossary. The need for such a glossary was one of the issues discussed by the users of the UNEVOC-e-Forum. This inspired UNESCO-UNEVOC to develop an international TVET glossary which represents a global and central repository of common TVET terms and their definitions.

The TVETipedia glossary synthesizes existing glossaries worldwide by extracting general TVET terms and indicating country or region specific use of terms. Some of the used glossaries were provided by the e-Forum users, others were selected by the UNESCO-UNEVOC team who conducted a worldwide research. The TVETipedia glossary contains currently about 1000 terms and their definitions.

The following list of educational glossaries includes those glossaries used for TVETipedia but as well further interesting glossaries in different languages. The respective number of definitions used for TVETipedia you will find when clicking on one of the glossaries and looking at its description.

Furthermore, TVETipedia includes definitions extracted from TVET reports and papers of official organisations like OECD, ILO etc. Each resource is mentioned with the corresponding definition.

The aim of the TVETipedia glossary is to help create a common TVET language and to avoid misunderstandings in the global TVET discussion. This will improve communication, discussion and debate amongst TVET experts from different parts of the world.

An extended version of TVETipedia will be developed in the future. It will go beyond the pure representation of definitions by adding more information generated by the UNESCO-UNEVOC team and international TVET experts.

We look forward to receiving your comments and feedback on the TVETipedia glossary.
