Abstract. The TVET fashion programme is one of the courses that provides Sijil Pelajaran
Malaysia (SPM) graduates with apparel creation and production skills. The objective of
this study was to find out about the effectiveness of three main domains in teaching and
learning on the conceptual framework produced for the use of TVET Fashion Program
curriculum in Community Colleges. Among the study methods used were observation,
Kawakita Jiro method, and questionnaire instrument validation by field experts for
acquiring and compiling study data. The quantitative research method was used to collect
data, which was then analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences, or SPSS.
A TVET fashion programme conceptual framework will be developed by the end of this
study to serve as a guideline and reference source for future fashion programme curriculum
development. As a result, the course aligns with the government's vision of graduates who
are skilled, critical, and innovative enough to meet the nation's skilled manpower needs in
the industry sector.

1 Introduction
In Malaysia, training, vocational, and technical programmes, or TVET, are becoming
increasingly popular. Without a doubt, the TVET fashion programme is one of the most popular
courses among Malaysian youth of both genders. In accordance with globalization, knowledge-
based economies, technological advancements, and global workforce mobility, the course was
introduced to meet industry needs while contributing to economic growth. By enabling an
industry-led approach, TVET is critical to providing the skilled human capital required by
industry, particularly to support the economic sector's transition to knowledge-based activities,
in line with the goal of becoming a developed nation by 2020 [1]. The objective of this study is
to assist lecturers in forming the components of conceptual framework based on three main
domains namely cognitive, psychomotor, and affective or CPA in the production of manual
pattern drafting. According to Anderson, L.W [2], skills should focus on several key aspects
like skill (psychomotor), knowledge (cognitive), and attitudes (affective). The combination of
the three main domains consisting of CPA in practical classes producing clothing patterns is a
very important behavior in this skill-oriented learning [3].
