Smart Foundry - Informationstechnische Unterstützung der Planung, Konstruktion und Fertigung von Formen für den Metallguss

Die Europäische Gießereiindustrie besteht zu einem großen Teil aus Klein- und Mittelständischen Unternehmen, die in Summe einen bedeutenden Anteil der produzierenden Industrie Europas bilden. Traditionell sind diese Unternehmen lediglich in einem geringen Umfang an Forschungs- und Entwicklungsaktivitäten beteiligt, was vielerorts den Einsatz veralteter Technologie und der damit verbundenen Prozesse zur Folge hat.

Position, professional expertise and functions of an educator of child care homes in Lithuania

Speaking about professionals, working with children at child care homes in Lithuania, first of all we encounter a problem of terminology. This problem rises, because in various countries and languages we call these professionals differently. In Lithuania we call them ”aukletojai”. We also use the word ”aukletojas” when speaking about both professionals, working directly with children at kindergartens, and parents, as all parents are educators of their children. We suppose, that the word ”aukletojas” corresponds to the German “erzieher”, and “aukleti” to “erziehen”. Every “aukletojas” in Lithuania clearly realizes, that he is a pedagogue, because in this country every professional, involved in educational work with children – an ”aukletojas”, a teacher, a social pedagogue and a special pedagogue – is called a pedagogue. In this context it is essential to conceive that in Lithuania an ”educator” and a ”social pedagogue” are different pedagogical professions and that none of the ”aukletojas” identify himself as a social pedagogue.
