Optimierung der Eingangsstufe Ein Beitrag zur Umsetzung der Kinderkonvention in der Schule (Optimisation of access to school)
30 November 2002
A contribution to the enactment of the "Convention on the Rights of the Child at school'' is a project involving DE, FR, UK and NL.
The participating institutions plan to check their national concepts and modules in order to use them in a common - international - conception of a school, based on the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
At the end of the project this concept will be presented in the form of an international in-service training course for teachers.
The project plans to hold conceptual work meetings with the different partner institutions, to elaborate this concept, to find ways to evaluate it and to develop in service training programmes for teachers.
They will have several meetings on anational and international level to learn about other experiences and to become critical about their own system. Each year an international working group will focus on a specific subject.
The knowledge, abilities and insights acquired in international meetings will be reported back to national work groups, which will discuss and disseminate these results and report at the next international meeting. Modules and concepts developed on a national level will be reviewed by the international project group and selected for implementation in all project schools.
This will allow an evaluation of the applicability and use on a transnational level while considering the Rights of the Child Convention.
These resultswill again be made available on a European level. Through this procedure the project hopes to contribute to a harmonisation of national education systems in Europe with respect to the specificities within the countries

The "Social and Human Capital in the Knowledge Society" Conference is Available On-line
30 November 2002
Over 50% of all workers in the EU now use a computer for their job and there are fewer and fewer jobs where at least basic digital skills are not required. From that point of view, digital skills are almost as essential as basic literacy to be employed today.
These were some of the issues explored at the Social and Human Capital in the Knowledge Society Conference, held in Brussels in 28 and 29 October 2002. The presentations and proceedings of the Conference are now available on-line. Among other topics, the Conference focused on how companies providing employment increasingly need to devote an important part of their resources to ensure that employees are able to work with recent technological or organisational developments. This investment is today just as necessary as physical equipment. The increased rate of structural change and the greater tendency to change employment several times during the working life adds complications. Companies may be reluctant to invest in human capital if the human capital in question leaves for another job shortly afterwards. Just as formal education is seen as a social benefit, which in most countries the state sees as its role to provide, training for employment might also need to be seen as a public good.

Co-operation between schools and parents in relation
30 November 2002
The project aims at making teachers aware of the changing role of parents with a view
of increasing autonomy of schools.
of increasing autonomy of schools.
Often parents are still primarily seen as clients and not as responsible partners, professionals, potential co-developers and evaluators of schools.
The project is designed for three years. It sets out to target the following specific objectives:
- to improve cooperation between schools and parents to allow the latter to take an active role in the development of school quality and to support children's responsibility for self-guided learning
- to compare national variations in practice regarding the role of parents in (pre-) primary and secondary schools in intercultural contexts
- to collect and document examples of good practice
- to point out areas where changes and measures of support are required
- to develop materials for initial and in-service training
The materials to be produced include a CD-ROM and accompanying booklets.
The materials will be disseminated at national workshops.

Major research trends in ICT
14 November 2002
In March 2002, the European Commission invited the research community to express their fields of interest for the new Framework Programme.
It appears that research priorities are technologies for collaborative and experiential learning, as well as personalised access to learning content over broadband networks. Novel applications for creating and delivering e-learning content in different contexts (school, university, work place, lifelong learning) are sought. They encompass innovative strategies, including organisational changes and new business models, and e-learning across the extended value chain of e-business. Building and sharing competencies for the knowledge society, facing the ICT skills gap and fostering social inclusion are also major drivers.
Major research trends can be clustered in:
Advanced technologies and infrastructures for access to learning:
broadband and GRID technologies, mobile learning, learning appliances, avatars and intelligent agents, virtual reality and mixed-augmented reality, simulators, interfaces, computer supported collaborative learning, intelligent ambient learning environments;
Knowledge and learning:
integration of knowledge management or learning management systems and enterprise resource planning, learner modelling, metadata for learning objects, virtual knowledge sharing spaces;
Learning resources management:
new forms of content modelling, authoring and distribution, standards, learning content management systems, certification;
Virtual learning communities:
learning regions, social learning, collaborative knowledge producing, communities of practice, virtual campuses.
Many researchers are preoccupied with interconnections between technological, pedagogical, social and organisational aspects.
The wide range of specific research subjects includes e-learning for all (marginalised people, unemployed, people with learning difficulties, people living in rural areas), ICT skills, telerobotic, health education, on-line labs, environment, evaluation and assessment, architectural design, construction.
