Adjust your school to the challenges of modern, Digital vocational Education

Description

The highly infectious COVID-19 disease, declared a pandemic by World Health Organization, has changed the educational panorama of the world in a very short time. In the face of global school closures, all educational systems have faced striking challenges in moving from traditional methods of learning to online/distant teaching-learning environments. The pandemic has shown that the world is not ready to address such challenges efficiently and effectively. In addition, some areas in education call for more immediate attention..According to the European Commission survey that started on March 2020, VET specific online courses/modules are not available. Ready-made material with VET specific content is less developed and there is a strong call for the Commission and national public authorities to create a database with existing resources to be shared for free around Europe. It was found that VET learners might be at disadvantaged compared to learners from other educational tracks as more efforts are put into general school subjects, and less in typical vocational content (https://ec.europa.eu/social/vocational-skills-week/fight-against-covid-19_en). Hence, this project aims to contribute to maintaining the continuity of VET in the field of tourism by introducing digital VET opportunities. This will ensure that students get the most of their education and training and they are less affected by the crisis situation. In order to do so, the project aims to develop a set of guides for digital vocational education in the tourism sector for administrators, teachers, students and their parents that will introduce digital solutions physical and architectural challenges, break down qualification barriers in digital vocational teaching and allow social and cultural adaptation to digital learning. In addition, the other output, Virtual ADE advisor - an individualized space for improving digital qualifications of a vocational teacher will improve teachers’ skills. The Virtual ADE advisor will include interactive content in vocational education-teacher training course; Individualized path depending on the initial qualifications of the teacher; virtual Q&A space and sub-spaces for exchanging good solutions and lesson plans according to different vocational subjects and other subjects taught at the school.The project encompasses all relevant parties in VET school education and includes administration and teaching aspects as well as learning and practice aspects. Stakeholders in the field of tourism including businesses such as hotels, restaurants, trade associations and employment agency will be consulted during material and strategy development. The needs of the target groups will be addressed in the following manner:Administration-principals: they will be provided with digital solutions to the immediate problemTeachers: they will be given tools to improve school education via the teacher training course, individualized pathways to learning and OERs as well as the Q&A space that will provide mentoring and coaching.Students and parents: they will be provided with strategies to socially and culturally adapt to the new mode of learning. School leaving due to low skill levels of lack of adaptation will be minimized.The project results will be shared with wider audiences in education, VET and tourism and expected to bring a new voice to the world of VET.
