Quality of education in the VET sector (acronim QEVET)

About this project

<p>Need for project results from transformation of process-based vocational education to respond to needs of ongoing job tasks. Our goal is to prepare educational tools supporting development of quality culture in VET institutions. Standards of professional requirements, competences, validation for 3 professional roles in education (quality manager, project manager and trainer) and blended-learning didactic materials shaping necessary competences will be prepared. In total, 224 hours of material will be prepared (112 hours in Polish and 112 hours in English), including quality in educational institutions. The prepared materials will be tested by 16 training participants from 4 Polish educational institutions. The results of the project will be consulted with stakeholders during its duration, and the final results will be presented in the handbook and during 2 seminars. The tools will be partly made available under OER license and will facilitate implementation of quality culture in VET.</p>

Bilateral cooperation results

Before starting the project, we were looking for an organisation with experience in the implementation of educational projects financed from the European funds and the Norwegian fund. An important criterion for us was experience in implementing projects related to the creation of IT tools for education and confirmation of competences. The portfolio of projects implemented by ELS ideally matched these criteria. We received substantive support for the tools we were preparing, many consultations, know-how transfer and management support. The trainer also participated in the evaluation of materials and tools. The involvement and support of the Norwegian partner was very valuable. Especially the inquisitiveness with a broad view and a lot of experience in international projects. Our benefits from participating in the Norwegian Partner's project: - gaining an international context for the developed educational materials and obtaining confirmation of the quality of the developed materials. - Valuable comments during the development of the blended learning concept and at the stages when we tested the subsequent results - Management support and sharing of good management practices during project implementation, - In-depth assessment and improvement guidelines for individual outcomes both in writing and on an ongoing basis orally - assistance with the development of evaluation tools and support in interpreting the results. - Assist in the development of a manual to be both concise and substantively interesting.
