Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (CEDEFOP) moved forward on the four major themes of its medium-term priorities in 2000, which were the following: (1) promoting competencies and lifelong learning; (2) facilitating new ways of learning for a changing society; (3) supporting employment and competitiveness; and (4) improving European understanding and transparency. In tackling this spectrum of activities, the CEDEFOP's accomplishment fell in these two areas: developing knowledge and expertise--encompassing the themes and content within the four priority themes; and serving customers, partners, and policymakers, and fostering research cooperation. In the area of developing knowledge and expertise, a reporting system on lifelong learning was developed; final editing work was completed on key qualifications; a conference on the identification, assessment, and recognition of non-formal learning was conducted; efforts to improve transparency of qualifications were made; and a mechanism to promote mobility was created. In the area of serving its audience, work was completed on reporting on developments in vocational education and training in the European Union (EU); key data on vocational training in the EU were reported; the first report on vocational training policy for the EU was published; an electronic library and information service was improved, and additional research and information exchange was conducted. (Four appendixes include a list of CEDEFOP publications for 2000; human resources of CEDEFOP; staff and financial allocations for 2000; and management board members.) (KC)

Download or read book How Computers Entered the Classroom 1960 2000 written by Carmen Flury and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-06-19 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the history of education, the question of how computers were introduced into European classrooms has so far been largely neglected. This edited volume strives to address this gap. The contributions shed light on the computerization of education from a historical perspective, by attending closely to the different actors involved – such as politicians, computer manufacturers, teachers, and students –, political rationales and ideologies, as well as financial, political, or organizational structures and relations. The case studies highlight differences in political and economic power, as well as in ideological reasoning and the priorities set by different stakeholders in the process of introducing computers into education. However, the contributions also demonstrate that simple cold war narratives fail to capture the complex dynamics and entanglements in the history of computers as an educational technology and a subject taught in schools. The edited volume thus provides a comprehensive historical understanding of the role of education in an emerging digital society.

Download or read book School Dropout and Completion written by Stephen Lamb and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-11-29 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School dropout remains a persistent and critical issue in many school systems, so much so that it is sometimes referred to as a crisis. Populations across the globe have come to depend on success at school for establishing careers and gaining access to post-school qualifications. Yet large numbers of young people are excluded from the advantages that successful completion of school brings and as a result are subjected to consequences such as higher likelihood of unemployment, lower earnings, greater dependence on welfare and poorer physical health and well-being. Over recent decades, most western nations have stepped up their efforts to reduce drop out and raise school completion rates while maintaining high standards. How school systems have approached this, and how successful they are, varies. This book compares the various approaches by evaluating their impact on rates of dropout and completion. Case studies of national systems are used to highlight the different approaches including institutional arrangements and the various alternative secondary school programs and their outcomes. The evaluation is based on several key questions: What are the main approaches? How do they work? For whom do they work? And, how successful are they in promoting high rates of completion and equivalent outcomes for all? This book examines the nature of the dropout problem in advanced industrialized countries with the goal of developing a broader, international understanding that can feed into public policy to help improve completion rates worldwide.

Download or read book Technologies Changing Our World written by Christian Werner Loesch and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-08-19 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a venture that, as far as we know, has never been tried before. It is a more than a two- decennial overview of the evolution, status and future of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) transgressing from technology to economy, sociology and its way of changing our life and of developments, which might affect our future personally and as society. The individual papers were delivered as invited keynote lectures at the the annual IDIMT Conferences (see www.IDIMT.org) from 2000 to 2020. These lectures were designed to satisfy the interested non-technical audience as well as the knowledgeable ICT audience, bridging this gap successfully without compromising on the scientific depth. It offers an opportunity to analyze evolution, status, challenges and expectations over this dramatic period. Additionally the multidiscipline approach offers an unbiased view on the successes and failures in technological, economic and other developments, as well as on the astonishing high quality of technological forecasts. Seldom has a single technology been the driving force for such dramatic developments, looking at the intertwined developments as the computer becoming a network and the network becoming a social network and is even changing the way, the world changes. Economically documents emphasize the fact that the three top value companies in the world are ICT companies. Many deep-impact innovations made in this periods are reviewed, with information technology enabling advances from decoding the genome to the Internet, Artificial Intelligence ,Big Data, Deep computing, Robotics to Communication technology to mention a few. The impact literally reaches from on the bottom of the sea, from fiber optics cables communications, up to satellites, turning the world into a global village and continue to do so. Discussing the scenario of the last 25 years, we have the privilege to discuss this in the presence of eye witnesses and even of contributors to these developments to which these personalities contributed and enabled these lectures. Special appreciation for their engagement and many valuable discussions goes 'in parts pro toto' to Prof. Gerhard Chroust and Prof. Petr Doucek and their teams.
