Kompetenzraster aus dem schweizerischen Institut Beatenberg - eine Option für berufliche Schulen in Deutschland?

Der Name einer kleinen Internatsschule im Berner Oberland taucht zunehmend in den Diskussionen über die Gestaltung von selbst organisiertem Lernen auf: Institut Beatenberg. Der Direktor des Instituts, Andreas Müller, und seine Mitarbeiter sind gefragte Referenten auf Veranstaltungen über die Einführung einer Lehr-Lernkultur, die den Lernenden und seine Lernprozesse in den Mittelpunkt der pädagogischen Arbeit stellt. Zudem finden ihre Publikationen zunehmendes Interesse im gesamten deutschsprachigen Raum. Ein Schlüsselinstrument wurde dabei zum Schlagwort: Kompetenzraster. Doch die stellen nur eines der Instrumente dar, die den ‚Wirkungskreislauf des Lernerfolgs’ in Beatenberg stützen. Berufliche Schulen in Hessen und Hamburg haben im Rahmen von Modellprojekten mit der Erarbeitung von Kompetenzrastern nach den Vorbildern in Beatenberg begonnen und versprechen sich damit eine neue, auf selbst organisiertem Lernen aufbauende kompetenzorientierte berufliche Bildung. In dem Beitrag werden die Arbeit mit Kompetenzrastern und den dahinter liegenden ‚Lernlandschaften’ sowie der ‚Wirkungskreislauf den Lernerfolgs’ in Beatenberg kompetenzorientiert dargestellt. Die Dimensionen Definition, Beschreibung, Ordnung, Erwerb, Messung und Anerkennung von Kompetenzen werden herausgearbeitet und die Möglichkeiten von Kompetenzrastern in der beruflichen Bildung kritisch gewürdigt. Der Beitrag ist entlang der genannten Dimensionen gegliedert.

Proyección y competitividad en la empresa COLVINSA S.A., en los próximos 5 años

Teniendo en cuenta que los cambios en la economía empresarial se suceden a un ritmo acelerado, la labor de planeamiento se ve seriamente impactada, por esta razón, no se recomienda realizar el planeamiento estratégico clásico, sino utilizar la Prospectiva que siendo una disciplina nueva en nuestro medio, a nivel mundial se viene aplicando desde inicios del Siglo XX. Con la utilización de esta metodología se muestran escenarios posibles y probables. Es aquí donde la Prospectiva produce su mayor beneficio pues es posible minimizar el riesgo, basados en una visión del futuro. En el presente trabajo se muestra de cómo es aplicado un estudio prospectivo y de competitividad a una empresa autogestionada , como es La Compañía Colombiana de Envases Industriales S.A. COLVINSA. Aquí se hace una aproximación conceptual del entorno actual y la turbulencia al interior, para así lograr el resultado final, escenarios futuros llevados a cinco años. Suministrando los elementos para que COLVINSA haga una ruptura en su esquema actual de trabajo y producción. En pocas palabras condiciones de competitividad favorables con diferenciación, reconocimiento y liderazgo en el mercado.

O portefólio como instrumento de reflexão na disciplina de desenho A do Ensino Secundário

A temática apresentada é resultante da prática de ensino supervisionada no Ensino Secundário em Artes Visuais e tem como finalidade aprofundar questões que envolvem a autorregulação das aprendizagens para o desenvolvimento do pensamento reflexivo dos alunos. A importância do paradigma reflexivo está cada vez mais presente nas práticas educativas dos nossos tempos, remetendo para um novo conceito de ensino e de avaliação no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, de acordo com um ensino cada vez mais centrado no aluno. Seguindo a intemporalidade do pensamento freireano são desenvolvidas práticas de avaliação tendo por base a integração do portefólio como instrumento de aprendizagem progressiva para a prática reflexiva dos alunos na disciplina de Desenho A. Este projeto de investigação participativa pretende analisar informações qualitativas e quantitativas de forma a reconhecer o contributo e o benefício da dimensão reflexiva ao longo do processo de ensino-aprendizagem no desenvolvimento pessoal e cognitivo do aluno.

Uses of mobile phones in higher education

This brief paper explores the current and potential usage of mobile phones within higher education. It reports on the outcomes of a brain storming session regarding this subject undertaken with a cohort of final year Computer Science students undertaking a Social, Legal and Ethical Aspects of Information Technology course at The University of Reading. Subsequent analysis was undertaken as a result of online discussion using a Managed Learning Environment and a web based survey completed by over 250 undergraduates from around the UK.

A study of factors contributing to late submission of course work

This case study uses log-linear modelling to investigate the interrelationships between factors that may contribute to the late submission of coursework by undergraduate students. A class of 86 computing students are considered. These students were exposed to traditional teaching methods supported by e-learning via a Managed Learning Environment (MLE). The MLE warehouses detailed data about student usage of the various areas of the environment, which can be used to interpret the approach taken to learning. The study investigates the interrelationship between these factors with the information as to whether the student handed in their course work on time or whether they were late. The results from the log-linear modelling technique show that there is an interaction between participating in Discussions within the MLE and the timely submission of course work, indicating that participants are more likely to hand in on time, than those students who do not participate.

iPad use in fieldwork: formal and informal use to enhance pedagogical practice in a bring your own technology world

We report on use of iPads (and other IOS devices) for student fieldwork use and as electronic field notebooks and to promote active. We have used questionnaires and interviews of tutors and students to elicit their views and technology and iPad use for fieldwork. There is some reluctance for academic staff to relinquish paper notebooks for iPad use, whether in the classroom or on fieldwork, as well as use them for observational and measurement purposes. Students too are largely unaware of the potential of iPads for enhancing fieldwork. Apps can be configured for a wide variety of specific uses that make iPads useful for educational as well as social uses. Such abilities should be used to enhance existing practice as well as make new functionality. For example, for disabled students who find it difficult to use conventional note taking. iPads can be used to develop student self-directed learning and for group contributions. The technology becomes part of the students’ personal learning environments as well as at the heart of their knowledge spaces – academic and social. This blurring of boundaries is due to iPads’ usability to cultivate field use, instruction, assessment and feedback processes. iPads can become field microscopes and entries to citizen science and we see the iPad as the main ‘computing’ device for students in the near future. As part of the Bring Your Own Technology/Device (BYOD) the iPad has much to offer although, both staff and students need to be guided in the most effective use for self-directed education via development of Personal Learning Environments. A more student-oriented pedagogy is suggested to correspond to the increasing use of tablet technologies by students

Educação a distância - TV escola e PROINFO: impactos em escolas públicas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro

A educação a distância ganha força como mais uma forma de aprendizagem e como um novo recurso de apoio ao trabalho pedagógico. Por essa razão, existe um grande esforço dos governos, no sentido de priorizar as novas formas de aprendizagem a distância. Acompanhar a evolução das políticas públicas de educação a distância, principalmente os impactos percebidos na qualidade do ensino, é o principal objetivo deste estudo. A pesquisa de campo aconteceu em escolas públicas de Niterói, onde foi observada a evolução dos programas da Secretaria de Educação a Distância SEED, bem como os outros aspectos da pesquisa em si. Considerando a atualidade do tema, foi imprescindível, além da revisão na literatura específica e das referencias bibliográficas usuais, fundamentar a argumentação da autora com periódicos e outros conhecimentos pesquisados na internet, através da informação mediada. A dissertação destaca o resultado de toda a investigação e conclui que as novas tecnologias e as formas interativas de aprendizagem ainda não são aceitos pela comunidade escolar, como importantes recursos auxiliares. Os programas TV Escola e Proinfo deveriam revolucionar o modo de capacitação de professores e a aprendizagem dos alunos, mas não estão provocando os resultados desejados, nas escolas observadas. Os objetivos dos programas ainda não foram alcançados e o esforço dos atores governamentais e não governamentais não teve o sucesso desejado.

O trabalho em equipes autogerenciadas e sua influência na motivação dos empregados

Nos últimos anos diversos autores vem afirmando que fatores como a autonomia e a interação humana estão relacionados a bons níveis de motivação no trabalho. Consideram ainda, que equipes autogerenciadas são capazes de reunir esses dois fatores, ou seja, envolvem autonomia, pois incentivam o autogerenciamento, e envolvem interação, pois pressupõem o relacionamento entre diferentes pessoas. Esta pesquisa procura trazer contribuição às Teorias existentes, analisando de que forma trabalho em equipes autogerenciadas influencia a motivação dos empregados. Para tanto, na primeira etapa do estudo foi realizada pesquisa bibliográfica, com o objetivo de coletar contribuições de diversos autores sobre o tema. Na segunda etapa, foi realizada pesquisa de campo, a fim de conhecer a experiência e reunir depoimentos de profissionais de diversas arcas de atuação. A análise dos resultados da pesquisa de campo, fundamentada nos dados bibliográficos, indicou que o trabalho em equipes autogerenciadas não apenas influenciou positivamente a motivação dos empregados que já tiveram esta experiência, como gerou boa expectativa naqueles que nunca tiveram a oportunidade de trabalhar cm tais equipes. Quanto as razões para esta influência positiva, destacaram-se o maior poder de decisão para o trabalhador e o incentivo ao desenvolvimento da criatividade.

Acquisition of suture skills during medical graduation by instructor-directed training: A randomized controlled study comparing senior medical students and faculty surgeons

Due to shortage of time and limited availability of faculty surgeons to teach basic surgical skills during medical graduation, the search for alternative ways of simulated training with feedback is needed. The purpose of this study was to compare the simulated teaching of suture skills to novice medical students by senior medical students and by experienced faculty surgeons. Forty-eight novice medical students were randomly assigned to three practice conditions on bench model (n = 16): self-directed suture training (control), senior medical student-directed suture skills' training, or experienced faculty surgeon-directed suture skills' training. Pre- and post-tests were applied. Global Rating Scale with blinded evaluation and self-perceived confidence based on Likert scale were used to assess all suture performances in pre- and post-training. Effect size was also calculated. The analysis made after training showed that the students who received feedback from the instructors had better performance based on the Global Rating Scale (all p < 0.0000) and felt more confident to carry out sutures (all p < 0.0000) when compared to the control. There was no significant difference (all p > 0.05) between the student-directed teaching and faculty-directed teaching groups. The magnitude of the effect (instructor-directed training suture) was considered large (>0.80) in all measurements. The acquisition of suture skills after student-directed training was similar to the training supervised by faculty surgeon, and the increase in suture performances of trainees that received instructor administered training was superior to self-directed learning. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Italia.

Body and Didactics. Possible directions of international research

The paper investigates the role of the body in didactics. It looks up for points of contact between the functional sceneries of the classroom and some recent approaches, such like simplexity, neurosciences and enactivism. The two experiments presented they aim to demonstrate the importance of body awareness to improve the didactic quality. The first experience used a SenseWear Armband that provided data about the energetic expenditure of a teacher during diff erent activities in a lesson. Th e second experiment relied on a neurofeedback device integrated to a sensor, it detected body temperature with the aim of understanding the role of the body in the process of self-regulation-learning and management of attention and arousal.

Economia solidária e tecnologias sociais: mediação para a emancipação social de grupos autogestionários

The goal of this paper is to critically analyze the practices developed by Solidarity Economy and to merge them with social technologies, aiming to achieve social transformation of popular groups. This transformation consists in the empowerment of those groups in means of work organization, considering their self-management and also the development of techniques and technologies utilized. Based on the understanding that technical development has no neutral character and it follows linearity within society, a discussion around the forms and uses of technology is conducted here, aiming at the perspective of changes in technologies’ development and also assigning social character to them. To think of social technology requires us to consider the space in which it is inserted, once it refers to a collective demand that belongs to self-managed groups. Therefore, to intent beyond self-management work, new productive forces are discussed here, and also the analysis and adhesion of an alternative technology for popular cooperatives
