Monday week 6 inlcudes a number of issues such as debriefing shadwaing. On manoday we had Maria elicited data about the trainees' reflection and experience about shadowing and what has surprised thuentsem most often. Among which were students engagment of active participation in classroom and the various methods used by the tutors. I myself learned a number of things mostly giving more time for the students to raise their voice but equally more importantly there is a need to push the students motivation so to actively get engaged in actual participation.
Tuedsday the next day, we had a visit to SLK where a tutor explained the structure of the school and how the CO=UP or studnets training after finishing the institute academic period. There was a discussion about the mechanisim of the cooperative training . I think there is some similarity between the training period in KSA and Finland though there seems to a difference in implementaion where here in hagga college follow up is emphesised. so maybe we need to take this into consideration.

I really don't know, what Eeva Karikoski presented, but I know that what we ordered was On-the-job learning and Skills demonstrations. On-the-job learning is a system, which was implemented in all upper secondary level vocational education a little over ten years ago. The degree is 120 credits, and out of those 20 cr are done in actual companies. The difference between on-the-job learning and practice periods, which we used to have earlier, is in the fact that students learn parts of the curriculum in the company, they don't just practice something that they have already learned in school. On-the-job learning is planned by the school (objectives are derived from the curriculum and set in negotiations between teacher, student and the representative from the work place), the teacher, student and representative of the company also carry out evaluation discussions, and the student gets a grade on his performance.
ReplyDeleteA couple of years ago this system was complemented with skills demonstrations. Students perform skills demonstrations in the workplace and the grades they get also affect the final grades they get in their certificate (so the grade is a combination of skills demonstration and assessment from school) . Plus they get a separate certificate of all the skills demonstration they have taken.
All this is done to improve the student's practical skills
