This study identifies and analyzes the main research areas related to green technical and vocational education training (TVET). It focuses on evaluating the extent of its integration into TVET programs. The research explores the link between green TVET and environmental sustainability and its impact on human development drawing on research and data from the past decade (2013-2023). This paper aims to offer readers an in-depth insight into recent progress and prospective developments, with a specific emphasis on the pedagogical approach in Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) and stakeholders' concerns in this domain. To achieve this goal, the study applied the Systematic Literature Network Analysis (SLNA) method, combining bibliometric analysis techniques with a systematic literature review (SLR) using the PRISMA approach. This integrated approach utilizes objective measurements and algorithms to quantitatively discern emerging themes and subjects within the literature is to gain a thorough understanding of the current state of green TVET and potential paths for its further integration to address environmental issues and enhance human capacity building.
The paper finds that green TVET positively affects learners' knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors related to environmental sustainability, as well as their employability and career prospects in the green economy. The paper also highlights the challenges and gaps in the implementation and evaluation of green TVET, such as the lack of standardized definitions, indicators, and methodologies, the insufficient integration of green competencies across curricula and pedagogy, and the limited involvement of stakeholders and social partners. The paper concludes with recommendations for policy and practice and directions for future research
