Validation of Non-formal and Informal Learning EC-Cedefop Seminar

06 Kovas 2013

 

The seminar ‘Validation of Non-Formal and Informal Learning’ will take place on the 9th and 10th of April, 2013 in Mechelen, Belgium, and is open to 120 participants.

The event is hosted by the European Commission and the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop), in association with the Irish Presidency of the European Union.

 

European countries are increasingly recognising the need to acknowledge the types of learning that take place outside formal training institutions. There are still obstacles, however, to implementing policy objectives and practical solutions for validating the learning that happens in the workplace, at home, or in leisure activities.

This ‘Validation of Non-Formal and Informal Learning’ seminar will convene 120 participants interested in and involved with the challenges and solutions this topic presents.

Registration is currently open. For more information, please contact koen.nomden@ec.europa.eu

New Assessments and Environments for Knowledge Building

28 Vasaris 2013

This paper looks at innovative ways to improve the development of 21st-century skills in students both individually and in groups, considering both formal and informal learning opportunities.

In this paper we review literature on knowledge-creating organizations to identify sequences leading from entry-level 21st century skills to mature levels of the skills defined by the Assessment and Teaching of 21st Century Skills project. We suggest a developmental scheme to allow students and teachers in any classroom to find a starting point and advance along dimensions identified. In a fully developed knowledge building environment, the ways people and ideas interact are critical to the integration of deep understanding, knowledge creation, and practical action. After proposing a framework for moving toward high-end knowledge environments we consider basic principles of learning and developmental trajectories relevant to them. We distinguish two approaches: “working backward from goals” and “emergence of new skills.” We discuss how modern technologies can help integrate and enhance these different approaches, how formative assessments can be used to increase the pace of innovation, and how a broader systems perspective might inform large-scale summative assessments.
 
An analytic framework, with developmental trajectories defined by 21st century skills, is provided for analyzing environments in light of the extent to which they support knowledge creation. Our goal is to provide a scheme comprehensive enough to identify starting points, as well as pathways to higher-order achievements for all, from elementary through to tertiary education, and applicable to out-of-school contexts, so as to support an inclusive model of 21st century knowledge building. We also aim to distinguish efforts that prepare students for work in knowledge-creating organizations after they leave school from those that aim to transform schools to operate as knowledge-creating organizations in their own right. We end with suggestions for new initiatives to help advance
education for a knowledge-building society.

Profesinių kompetencijų tobulinimas: patirtis bendradarbiaujant TPŠM sistemoje

26 Lapkritis 2012

Šiame straipsnyje siūloma konceptuali sistema, kurią būtų galima panaudoti kaip išeities tašką imantis teorinės ir empirinės (T)PŠM sistemos analizės. Tai leistų nustatyti veiksnius, kurie padeda vykti socialiniams, ekonominiams, politiniams ir kultūriniams pokyčiams.

Šioje sistemoje skatinama taikyti kelias praktikas: dalintis pagrindinėmis idėjomis, kad galėtume įgyvendinti bendrą modeliavimą; remti pagrindinius procesus, kad galėtume garantuoti mobilumą; skatinti kokybės užtikrinimą, kad galėtume įgyvendinti aukštus mokymo standartus; kurti į tinklą orientuotas struktūras, kurios leistų lengviau dalytis žiniomis bei užtikrintų lengvesnius vertinimo ir pripažinimo galiojančius procesus.

 

Šios sistemos lankstumo tikslas – pagerinti darbuotojų įsidarbinimo ir mobilumo galimybes, tam tikslui naudojant sistemą, kur profesinės kompetencijos, kurių reikalauja darbo rinka ir kurios apibūdintos kaip mokymosi rezultatai, gali būti įvertintos ir pripažintos galiojančiomis įvairiuose kontekstuose (oficialiame, neoficialiame ir neformaliame) ir ugdomos vadovaujantis kokybės standartais.
