Vocational Education Teachers’ Commitment to Safety Rules in Qasabat Irbid Workshops

This study aimed to explore the degree of commitment of vocational education teachers in the Qasabat Irbid Directorate of Education to general safety and security rules in their workshops, from their own perspectives. A descriptive research design was employed, and a questionnaire was developed to collect data after establishing its validity and reliability. The study population consisted of 135 male and female vocational education teachers, and the sample included 81 teachers. The findings revealed that teachers’ overall commitment to safety and security rules in their workshops was at a moderate level. No statistically significant differences were found that could be attributed to gender, years of experience, or educational qualification. From an applied educational perspective, these results point to a gap between desired and actual safety practices in school workshops, with potential implications for student and teacher wellbeing, accident prevention, and the quality of vocational training environments. In light of the findings, the study recommends that the Jordanian Ministry of Education organize targeted training courses and continuous professional development programs for vocational education teachers on how to effectively implement and monitor general safety and security rules in school workshops.
