| Working group 2: International cooperation between universities in the field of TVET – Developing the Hangzhou Framework |
|
|
| |
| was meant to discuss issues of international cooperation in the development of TVET research and TVET teacher education including the development of vocational disciplines. Due to the small number of participants who voted for this working group only one session was held. After that, participants joined working group 1 in order to participate in the national oriented discussions, which ultimately also discussed the issue of international cooperation. | |
Outcomes working group 2: International cooperation between universities in the field of TVET – Developing the Hangzhou Framework
Only few of the international participants and none of the local participants opted for participation in this workgroup. This is somehow understandable because first, the hands-on development of TVET teacher training in a country is an interesting and challenging task, and second, for the local participants this was the problem which was in the foreground of their thoughts.
Thus working group 2 only used half an afternoon to discuss issues related to the development of vocational disciplines, which in the Hangzhou framework are defined, but not yet sufficiently elaborated in terms of structure and content.
The participants discussed
- the implementation of vocational disciplines at the University of Bremen based on a presentation of Dr. Scheib,
- the approaches for the development of vocational disciplines that were sketched at the conference in Tianjin, based on an input by Dr. Dittrich, and
- a content-related example of the relevance for technical and vocational education and training of technological development in the field of manufacturing technology, presented by Mr. Leung.
At the end of the discussions the participants of the working group agreed,
- that there was no point to further discuss international cooperation among the participants because there already exists research cooperation between them,
- that a guideline for the implementation of vocational disciplines in TVET teacher study courses and at universities should be developed; such a guideline should be prepared for discussion at the next international UNIP conference,
- and that the participants of working group 2 will join working group 1 to participate in the discussion on the development of TVET teacher training in Sri Lanka.
