Completed project · 2008–2010
ERS
Objectives: The aim of the ERS project is to adapt instruments and methods of early recognition research to the country-specific characteristics of China and to apply these instruments to curriculum development and the redesign of occupations/subjects.
Research focus
In the first project phase, the early recognition instruments are adapted to the selected sectors and areas. For this purpose, sector experts, VET experts and teachers from the VET sector are integrated into the adaptation process.
In the second project phase, the individual instruments of vocational early recognition research (sector analyses, case studies and future expert workshops) are tested and applied. The deployment and application of the instruments are tested by way of example and accompanied and evaluated by the ITB.
Within the expert future workshops, conclusions are drawn for the renewal of occupations/subjects for the year 2020. The ITB evaluates the results.
Methods
The transfer and adaptation of the vocational early recognition instruments take place in various workshops in Beijing, in which the scientific project supervisors as well as sector experts and representatives of the project schools are informed about the application of the instruments. Together in sector-specific working groups, the instruments are adapted to the country-specific characteristics.
By way of example, the instruments of sector analysis, case studies and the future expert workshop are deployed and tested in selected sectors. Conclusions for further use and initial insights for the renewal of occupations/subjects are to be drawn from this.
Using the instrument of the expert future workshop, the results are condensed and further developed into scenarios.
Results
Initial studies in the automotive sector are currently being carried out and evaluated.
