IQ Evaluation – Evaluation of the ‘State-Certified Mechanical Engineering Technician’ course
The IQ-Technikum has opted for a blended-learning approach for the part-time training programme leading to the qualification of ‘State-Certified Technician – specialising in Mechanical Engineering’, which is subject to the regulations governing distance learning.
The State Central Office for Distance Learning (ZFU) has made the provisional approval of the study programme conditional, amongst other things, on the three-year implementation phase with the pilot cohort being evaluated by an institute specialising in vocational studies. The formative evaluation focuses primarily on the four innovative elements of the programme: curriculum, teaching methods, learning environment and organisation of learning. The main aim is to demonstrate the extent to which the approaches chosen by the educational provider meet the students’ expectations of being able to successfully complete this programme within the intended timeframe. A total of six written surveys are planned for the initial phase of each semester; the results will be reviewed during regular working meetings with representatives from the IQ-Technikum and staff from the ITB.
The ZFU has already converted the provisional accreditation into final accreditation after just three semesters.
