Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the perception of education consumers about the vocational high school credit system. The researcher analyzed the survey data collected from students, parents, and teachers of vocational high schools located in the A metropolitan city, and a total of 981 responses were analyzed: 541 students, 261 parents, and 179 teachers. One-way ANOVA and χ2 test were performed using IBM SPSS 21. The results are as follows. First, in all responses of perception of the vocational high school credit system, the mean difference between groups was statistically significant, and differences between teachers-students, and teachers-parents were found. Second, the mean difference between groups in the need for early graduation in curriculum implementation was statistically significant, and the mean of students was higher than that of parents and teachers. Third, the mean difference between groups in teachers' use of multiple teaching methods under class management and evaluation was statistically significant, and the means of parents and teachers were higher than that of students.
