Strategies, Models and Tools for Continuing Professional Development for Teachers in e-Learning
Problem statement: The preceding projects, Taccle 1, 2 and 3, developed school teachers' digital competences. Taccle4 CPD will develop strategies and models for continuing professional development. The ITB's work focuses on VET teachers. Objectives: To provide an overview of digital transformation in working life and develop perspectives on digitalisation in vocational teaching and learning.
Research approaches: The ITB's research tasks were:
Policy analysis to clarify different policy areas and approaches to promoting digital competences in VET;
Comparative analysis of training concepts in preceding Taccle and Learning Layers projects and a review of current research and development projects;
Analysis of open educational resources (OER) as a contribution to different vocational teaching and learning arrangements;
Synthesis of different innovation pathways for promoting digital competences in VET and staff development.
Results: The ITB's findings are presented in five VET-focused reports: policy analyses; comparative project analyses; OER case studies; a synthesis report; and guidance on developing training measures.
