Experiences of National Certificate (Vocational) lecturers in adapting to blended teaching and learning in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges Phuthi Mochaki (23136946) John Wassermann (19619722) Vocational education and training curriculum and pedagogy Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) Blended learning Pedagogical approaches Fourth industrial revolution (4IR) Information and communication technology (ICT) Cisco Networking Academy program (CNAP) National Certificate (Vocational) SDG 4 Quality education <p dir="ltr">Data were generated from National Certificate (Vocational) Level 4 lecturers who had experience with both traditional face-to-face teaching and the integration of the Cisco Network Academy Program (CNAP) into the Life Skills and Computer Literacy (LS & CL) curriculum. Guided by an interpretivist paradigm and a qualitative case study design, the study employed critical conversations and document analysis as data collection instruments to capture lecturers’ experiences, pedagogical practices, and contextual influences on ICT integration. Document analysis involved the review of relevant policies, subject guidelines, and assessment guidelines, providing insight into curriculum expectations and institutional alignment with blended learning principles. Audio recordings of the critical conversations were transcribed using Google Docs, a real-time AI-based transcription tool, after which all transcripts were manually reviewed and corrected to ensure accuracy and credibility. The verified transcripts were then analysed using thematic analysis to identify patterns related to blended learning implementation, lecturer adaptation, and curriculum alignment.</p> 2026-05-19T14:30:18Z Dataset Dataset 10.25403/UPresearchdata.31259383.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Experiences_of_National_Certificate_Vocational_lecturers_in_adapting_to_blended_teaching_and_learning_in_Technical_and_Vocational_Education_and_Training_TVET_colleges/31259383 CC BY 4.0
