Digital support of educational methods in situations complicating practical training on CNC technologies in field of wood processing

Description

<< Background >>Technical fields in the wood industry are not very attractive for the young generation, for reasons such as low social recognition and salary, which often do not reflect the difficulty of studying, but also the overall image of students about the form of teaching. For the reasons described above, the form of teaching does not reflect social development and is unable to speak to the current young generation in the language of their environment, which is whether we want or not the digital world of the Internet and through media of their daily use, where video plays the major role. One of the biggest difficulties in the practical teaching of CNC technology is also the high number of students in the group. The degree of complexity of operations with these machines is very high, and therefore an almost individual approach is necessary so that each student can acquire proper skills. At present, these factors are compounded by the long-term coronavirus crisis. This crisis resonated even more the problems of teaching practical skills and practical demonstrations of CNC technology, without which students are equipped with theoretical knowledge only.<< Objectives >>The main goal of the project is to create sets of professional instructional videos that will be closely focused on the issue of practical procedures in the field of CNC woodworking technology. These videos will serve as a support for theoretical and conventional teaching to illustrate the issue in practice and in conjunction with the future use of teaching in virtual and augmented reality. They will also serve as a teaching tool qualitatively immune to crisis situations where distance learning is needed. A partial effect of these videos is also the attractiveness of theoretical information thanks to the use of modern digital media. The concept will make it possible to transfer practical information to numerous groups of students while maintaining the benefits of an individual approach.<< Implementation >>Three work packages are designed, representing a selected portfolio of activities (set of video; profile on social network, online workshop). Further, a three-day competition focused on verifying skills in CNC programming and production. The outcomes created during the activities mentioned above will be available open access educational materials.<< Results >>Sets of professional instructional videos will be created, which will be closely focused on the issue of practical procedures in the field of CNC woodworking. These videos will serve as a support for theoretical and classical teaching to illustrate the issue in practice and in conjunction with the future use of teaching in virtual reality, they will also serve as a teaching tool qualitatively immune to crisis situations where it is necessary to activate distance learning. The common language of communication of the whole consortium is therefore English. For all the reasons mentioned, our instructional videos will also be in English. At the same time, these videos will be supplemented with subtitles in their native language (CZ, PL, SK,).The videos will be divided into two categories (videos for teaching and videos on social networks)Information channels on social networks:At the beginning of the project, a publicly accessible common profile (in English) will be established on common social networks. The analysis of the need to establish an information channel results from a questionnaire survey, where students call for a change in conventional teaching methods. This information channel should expand and supplement the knowledge of students of courses focused on CNC woodworking in a non-violent and fun way using the platform to which they are accustomed and which they commonly use daily. This profile will therefore focus mainly on supplementing information that cannot be included in teaching, due to insufficient time allocation for these courses. However, this profile can expand the knowledge and skills of the professional and lay public, which are interested in the issue. The main goal of this output is to popularize the issue and spread it not only among the interested professional public, but also to the general public. Papers will consist of popular science articles, news from the field of CNC technology and Industry 4.0, quizzes and questionnaires, examples of student work created on CNC machines, information about the Erasmus + project, about partner institutions involved and short popularization videos.WorkshopAt the end of the project, an international online workshop will be organized, at which the outputs of the project will be presented. The expected platform on which the workshop will take place will be MS Teams or ZOOM, with which the partners have sufficient experience. Furthermore, this workshop will discuss the possibilities of developing outputs, their application, and the possibility of further cooperation within the consortium, as well as addressing potential other partners. It is expected that experts will focus on practical training on CNC technologies, as well as affected students and interested companies from the commercial sector. Not only the addressed target groups inside the partner workplaces will be invited to the workshop, but also those interested outside the partner consortium. The participation of representatives of all partners within the consortium is a matter of course. The communication language of the workshop will be English.
