Validation of Non-formal and Informal Learning EC-Cedefop Seminar

06 Mars 2013

 

The seminar ‘Validation of Non-Formal and Informal Learning’ will take place on the 9th and 10th of April, 2013 in Mechelen, Belgium, and is open to 120 participants.

The event is hosted by the European Commission and the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop), in association with the Irish Presidency of the European Union.

 

European countries are increasingly recognising the need to acknowledge the types of learning that take place outside formal training institutions. There are still obstacles, however, to implementing policy objectives and practical solutions for validating the learning that happens in the workplace, at home, or in leisure activities.

This ‘Validation of Non-Formal and Informal Learning’ seminar will convene 120 participants interested in and involved with the challenges and solutions this topic presents.

Registration is currently open. For more information, please contact koen.nomden@ec.europa.eu

New Assessments and Environments for Knowledge Building

28 Février 2013

This paper looks at innovative ways to improve the development of 21st-century skills in students both individually and in groups, considering both formal and informal learning opportunities.

In this paper we review literature on knowledge-creating organizations to identify sequences leading from entry-level 21st century skills to mature levels of the skills defined by the Assessment and Teaching of 21st Century Skills project. We suggest a developmental scheme to allow students and teachers in any classroom to find a starting point and advance along dimensions identified. In a fully developed knowledge building environment, the ways people and ideas interact are critical to the integration of deep understanding, knowledge creation, and practical action. After proposing a framework for moving toward high-end knowledge environments we consider basic principles of learning and developmental trajectories relevant to them. We distinguish two approaches: “working backward from goals” and “emergence of new skills.” We discuss how modern technologies can help integrate and enhance these different approaches, how formative assessments can be used to increase the pace of innovation, and how a broader systems perspective might inform large-scale summative assessments.
 
An analytic framework, with developmental trajectories defined by 21st century skills, is provided for analyzing environments in light of the extent to which they support knowledge creation. Our goal is to provide a scheme comprehensive enough to identify starting points, as well as pathways to higher-order achievements for all, from elementary through to tertiary education, and applicable to out-of-school contexts, so as to support an inclusive model of 21st century knowledge building. We also aim to distinguish efforts that prepare students for work in knowledge-creating organizations after they leave school from those that aim to transform schools to operate as knowledge-creating organizations in their own right. We end with suggestions for new initiatives to help advance
education for a knowledge-building society.

Expérience de travail en réseau au sein du système d’EFTP en vue de l’amélioration des compétences professionnelles

26 Novembre 2012

Le présent article propose un cadre conceptuel pouvant faire office de point de départ pour des analyses théoriques et pratiques du rôle des systèmes d’EF(T)P, dans l’optique de mettre en évidence les facteurs qui contribuent au changement social, économique, politique et culturel.

Dans ce cadre, plusieurs pratiques sont encouragées, parmi lesquelles : le partage des concepts clés pour mettre en œuvre une modélisation commune ; le soutien des processus fondamentaux dans le but de garantir la mobilité ; le développement d’une approche d’assurance-qualité pour mettre en place des normes exigeantes en matière de formation ; et la création de structures axées sur le travail en réseau facilitant le partage de savoir ainsi que les processus d’évaluation et de validation.

 

La souplesse de ce cadre vise à améliorer l’employabilité et la mobilité des travailleurs grâce à un système dans lequel les compétences professionnelles requises par le marché du travail – et décrites en termes d’acquis – peuvent être évaluées et validées dans différents contextes (formel, non formel et informel) ainsi que renforcées conformément à des normes de qualité.
