IntroductionThere were two significant changes during the project implementation:1. The project was originally not selected for support and put on the “waitlist”. Later it was accepted, but with a significantly reduced budget. For this reason, there was also a significant reduction of the outputs. Detailed description of the changes can be found in the appendix “MoVET_Změny_2017.pdf”. Changes made to the number of outputs are clearly summarized in a table contained in the appendix “Appendix 4 - Changes in partial outputs and activities.pdf”. With respect to the reduced budget and in accord with these amending documents, a contract was concluded with the grant provider.2. During the coronavirus crisis, activities related to students' trips abroad could not be performed, nor was it possible to hold the Final Meeting in person. Both types of activities were carried out in an alternative way. The cancellation of the original activities and setting of new (alternative) ones also induced a significant increase in workload.Context/background of the projectThe pre-project analysis revealed that professional education in technical areas:a) Did not satisfactorily reflect real needs of the industry,b) Did not have satisfactory contacts with the industry,c) Did not satisfactorily react to the recent development in science and technology by inclusion of modern topics in the education,d) Did not satisfactorily motivate the students,e) Did not have satisfactory international collaboration. The project goal was to reduce the above-listed constraints of professional education by developing a large number of results and their large-scale pitot testing.ObjectivesThe fundamental aim of the project was to increase the quality of professional education at secondary schools, to establish its closer links with the industry and to increase the interest and motivation of students at secondary professional schools to study well.Number and type/profile of participantsThe participants (target groups) were students and teachers from secondary professional schools focusing on technical subjects. Over 1700 students and 55 teachers took part in the conducted educational activities. 61 students participated in the national internships; 39 students participated in the international ones (out of which, 8 in the only physical mobility and 31 in the virtual ones). Finally, 24 students (8 from each partner country) students took part in the international student teams competition. The total number of students involved in project activities significantly exceeded our commitment stipulated in the project application.Description of activities and resultsA detailed description of the activities can be found in the relevant sections of this Final Report. Just a summarizing information is provided here:1. Sets of different types of electronic learning objects (in four languages)2. ECVET learning units3. Pedagogical materials for teachers4. Large-scale pilot run for students5. Pilot run for teachers6. Series of internships in industrial companies7. Motivating competition of international student teams8. Further education of teachers from secondary schools (specialized lectures) 9. Extensive dissemination events (special workshops, publishing activities)10. Specialized learning environment and supporting software11. Methodologies and strategiesLonger-term benefits and impactThe developed educational materials are part of the learning portal (http://techpedia.eu), which is publicly accessible and administered by the project coordinator. Thanks to the fact that the portal also contains the results of other projects, it is a relatively wide library of educational resources (offering over 140 packages of materials), which is often used not only by the primary target groups, but also by other academic or professional public.After the project conclusion, ECVET units and a number of methodologies and strategies will also remain available to the public. The long-term benefit for members of the project consortium is the newly acquired know-how.
