Extend European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators for VET Teachers and Trainers
Problem statement: The European Research Council has issued a framework, DigCompEdu (JRC, Redecker and Punie, 2017), recommending how EU teachers of general subjects should use digital media in teaching. The Joint Research Council report lacks a perspective on the particular characteristics of VET that would enable targeted recommendations for vocational school teachers and trainers. This project aims to close that gap. Objectives: TACCLE VET aims to extend the European framework for developing digital competences to vocational training. Research question: Expert interviews explore the implications of digital transformation for teaching and learning in four occupational sectors (construction, agriculture, tourism and wellness), focusing on the distinctive features of VET.
Research question: Expert interviews explore the implications of digital transformation for teaching and learning in four occupational sectors (construction, agriculture, tourism and wellness), focusing on the distinctive features of VET.
Results: More than 40 interviews with selected practitioners in schools, training centres and workplace learning settings investigate how vocational training processes need to change in relation to digital and media-based teaching and workplace training. Approximately 20 practical scenarios explore teachers' core responsibilities in depth. Recommendations will then be formulated for local and European levels and for training practice.
