Content

1. Background: Focus on „learning ountcomes“ – why?

2. European VET policy

3. Exemplo and the „Lisbon – Copenhagen process“

4. Aspects of transfer in AVE exemplo


1. Background: Focus on „Learning Outcomes“ – why?• Increasing cross border mobility of enterprises and

employees

• Increasing importance of „lifelong learning“ - non-formal and informal learning

• Transparency of qualifications and competences is needed, independend from the learning process (no matter, where, when and how they have been acquired)

Transparency of Learning Outcomes


2. European VET policy

Lissabon Strategie (since 2000 ongoing): VET as an instrument to foster economic competitiveness of

European countries Creation of “a European Area of lifelong learning” (2001)

Kopenhagen Process (since 2002 ongoing): Creation of a European Qualifictions Framework (EQF) (decided) Förderung der Mobilität zwischen den Bildungssystemen durch

Schaffung eines Europäischen Credit Transfer Systems für die berufliche Bildung (ECVET) (in progress)

Establishing the Europass Framewok (became Reality in 2005)


ECVET – for what?

?Land B

Land A

An apprentice from country A wants to gain learning experience in an enterprise or school in country B.

The problem ECVET wants to solve: How can learning outcomes a learner achieved in country B be integrated in the qualification in country A?

N.b.: Country A and B have different qualification systems!


The solution: ECVET Learning outcomes gained in country B are documented and allocated to a credit system, After the learning period in country B those credit points are transfered to thelearner‘s home countryThere, they are validated, recognised and accumulated to the qualification

Land A

Land A und B beteiligen sich auf freiwilliger Basis am ECVET-System.Zwischen den nationalen „zuständigen Stellen“ wurde durch ein „Memorandum of Understanding“ die Basis für wechselseitiges Vertrauen geschaffen.

Die Bildungsanbieter in den beiden Ländern und der Lernende unterschreiben eine „Lernvereinbarung“.

EQF – is a reference system for transparency of qualifications between different VET system. EQF is based on „learning outcomes“.


3. Contribution of exemplo to the Lisbon – Copenhagen process

Exemplo cares for transparency and documentation of learning outcomes related to the work place.

Exemplo offers different methods for (self-) assessment and documentation of those learning outcomes:

e.g.: Competence Card for Workplace (VOX)

Transparency of competences (bfz)

The RARPA process (EEF)


Exemplo approach

Competence needs of

SMEs

Including employers

Learning outcomes of an Individual

Transparency of learning outcomes

related to the workplace

Learning outcomes gaind in the process of live long learning (formally, non-formally, informally acquired)


4. Aspects of transfer…to be discussed

Focus of AVE exemplo?

• New area of European VET policy in 2008

• New needs of companies

• New countries – new VET systems

• New learning cultures

• New target groups

• …. Other
