Download or read book Trainers in Continuing VET written by Cedefop - European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cedefop looks at 19 examples of initiatives set up in the Member States on developing competence requirements for trainers in continuing vocational training and adult learning: a brief overview of the practice, its target group(s), main approach and activities, competences required, a link with the validation of non-formal and informal learning, and outcomes, if available. Based on this analysis, an emerging competence profile of a trainer is proposed. The publication builds on Cedefop's work on the changing roles and professional development of VET teachers and trainers and contributes to the work of the thematic working group on the professional development of VET trainers, set up by the European Commission in 2012 and jointly coordinated with Cedefop -- EU Bookshop.
Download or read book Making Learning Visible written by Jens Bjørnåvold and published by Virago Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Report presents an overview of European initiatives to make the identification, assessment and recognition of learning which takes place outside formal education and training institutions i.e.non-formal learning, more visible. Its invisibility is increasingly perceived as a problem affecting competence development at all levels from the individual to society as a whole. This Report is based on fourteen national reports commissioned 1997-1999 and includes information from other sources including the EU. Following the introduction, the report is in five chapters. Chapter 2 looks at basic theoretical issues such as the character of non-formal learning and the political implications of setting up systems in this area. Chapter 3 outlines initiatives and developments in the member states. Chapter 4 presents and discusses initiatives at the EU level, focusing on the white paper on teaching and learning and on experiences from the Leonardo da Vinci programme. Chapter 5 analyses the previous chapters and concluding remarks are presented in Chapter 6. The conclusion looks at why there has been a sudden burst of activity and interest in questions linked to non-formal learning and at how the positive elements of this activity can be supported.
Download or read book Education and Social Change written by Geoffrey Elliott and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-14 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education policy and practice has historically been developed within the national/regional context. However, globalization has prompted educationalists to review their practice in the light of international influences. World issues such as global warming, conflict and the depletion of earth resources have also contributed to an increased awareness of the role that education can play in resolving these problems. The contributors focus on how education can bring about social change while connecting with theory at the level of cultural impact and policy implications. They investigate the potential for creating a transnational value system in education, focusing on some key human rights issues both at home and overseas. Truly international in scope, this text lays the groundwork for future research by exposing the commonalities and differences in approaches to knowledge production and its dissemination, drawing together contributions from a variety of cross cultural contexts.

Download or read book Global Perspectives on Recognising Non formal and Informal Learning written by Madhu Singh and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the relevance of recognition and validation of non-formal and informal learning education and training, the workplace and society. In an increasing number of countries, it is at the top of the policy and research agenda ranking among the possible ways to redress the glaring lack of relevant academic and vocational qualifications and to promote the development of competences and certification procedures which recognise different types of learning, including formal, non-formal and informal learning. The aim of the book is therefore to present and share experience, expertise and lessons in such a way that enables its effective and immediate use across the full spectrum of country contexts, whether in the developing or developed world. It examines the importance of meeting institutional and political requirements that give genuine value to the recognition of non-formal and informal learning; it shows why recognition is important and clarifies its usefulness and the role it serves in education, working life and voluntary work; it emphasises the importance of the coordination, interests, motivations, trust and acceptance by all stakeholders. The volume is also premised on an understanding of a learning society, in which all social and cultural groups, irrespective of gender, race, social class, ethnicity, mental health difficulties are entitled to quality learning throughout their lives. Overall the thrust is to see the importance of recognising non-formal and informal learning as part of the larger movement for re-directing education and training for change. This change is one that builds on an equitable society and economy and on sustainable development principles and values such as respect for others, respect for difference and diversity, exploration and dialogue.

Download or read book The Learning Continuity written by Danielle Colardyn and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report represents the first effort to establish a European inventory of approaches to validating non formal and informal learning. Validation policies, practices and methods are core issues in any strategy aimed at lifelong and life-wide learning. These policies are examined in detail for 14 Member States of the EU; more limited information is presented for eight new Member States and two candidate countries. The report defines basic concepts; analyses similarities and differences between national strategies and points to some main trends in validation. The report addresses several issues influencing the quality and credibility of validation approaches: the definition of standards, the development of modularised and flexible pathways for learning and the involvement and commitment of stakeholders. Particular emphasis is given to assessment methods where five main categories are identified. The most recent European initiatives relevant to validation are discussed; in particular the common European principles for validation (2004), the Europass portfolio supporting transparency and transfer of qualifications and competences at national and European level (2005) and the first steps of the continuing work to develop and implement a European qualifications framework (2005). All these initiatives reflect developments at national level but aim at increased cooperation and coherency between countries.
