Didactics in VET in the Digital Era

Description

"cational Education and Training (VET) have a fundamental role to play in achieving the ‘Europe 2020’ objectives. The Copenhagen process and Bruges communiqué emphasize that vocational education and training has a key role in providing relevant high quality skills and competences. ‘Youth on the Move’ initiative of the proposed ‘Europe 2020’ points up one flexible learning pathway, more workplace and entrepreneurial learning experiences, working and learning abroad (formal, non-formal and in-formal learning) as well as acquiring the basic skills needed for further learning and that there are more opportunities to learn later in life. ‘Agenda for new skills and jobs’ initiative highlights the need to upgrade skills and to boost employability.""Digital skills in education – transforming teaching and learning of digital skills in a lifelong learning perspective, including the training of teachers"" is one of the targets in the Commissions ""Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition"" under DG CONNECT (Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology of the European Commission).A modern, knowledge-based economies require people with higher and more relevant skills. Transversal skills such as the ability to think critically, take initiative, problem solve and work collaboratively will prepare individuals for today's varied and unpredictable career paths. Attention should be particularly focused on the development of digital skills, because they not only contribute to new business creation but also to the employability of young people. Investment in education and training for skills development is essential to boost growth and competitiveness: skills determine Europe's capacity to increase productivity. In the long-term, skills can trigger innovation and growth, move production up the value chain, stimulate the concentration of higher level skills in the EU and shape the future labour market. The massive increase in the global supply of highly skilled people over the last decade puts Europe to the test. The time when competition came mainly from countries that could offer only low-skilled work has come to an end. The quality of education and supply of skills has increased worldwide and Europe must respond. (“Rethinking Education: Investing in skills for better socio-economic outcomes“. Communication from the commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European economic and social committee and the committee of the regions.)Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) help us learn better, more efficiently and creatively, to innovate, to solve complex problems and access wider and more up-to-date knowledge. ICT provides everyone with flexible and accessible learning opportunities, in and outside the classroom. But if we are to succeed in giving the future students the knowledge, skills and competencies to cope with the labour market in the digital era, we need to focus on the teachers' digital knowledge, skills and competencies. The teachers are the ones who are responsible for quality ensuring that the pupils and students learn what they need to learn also when it comes to digital competencies. If the digital transition is to be successful, then the teachers should be properly prepared pedagogical and didactical to disseminate the new teaching contents and education forms that appear as a result of digitization of education. Additionally do the educational institutions and their managements need to be ready to support the digital transition, because it is not something that comes by itself as digitization has the potential to recaulk the way we are conducting education today and therefore we also need to expect resistance.This project are aiming to addresses these challenges for the world of VET by creating an interactive handbook that can be used learning resources for VET staff both educator and management."
