Development of competence in a web-based laboratory

During the project webLab an advanced training concept (ATC) for teachers and trainers has been developed and tested which helps teachers to accompany vocational internships abroad on a web based as well as an individual basis. As background to the project, this charges a systematic preparation, implementation and evaluation of stays abroad. As an orientation the role-based competence balance has been used as one of the two transferring products. Especially in the context of stays abroad it is required to find ways for reaching accompaniment and support of the adolescents. Here one can refer to concepts of web-based accompaniment of industrial placements. The accompaniment and support according to the idea of mentoring has to support youths to discover own competencies and abilities and then to include them in the context of vocational training. Therefore it is necessary to offer the opportunity to systematically develop competencies in coping with new media that exceed pure operator competencies and enable an appropriate behavior in an increasing mediatized world. Moreover, the adolescents shall have the possibility to certify their stay abroad as a qualification. Within the framework of a vocational internship abroad, young people who are participating in highly heterogeneous educational programs mostly require special accompanying and supporting instruments. The webLab-concept took over a web-based mentoring concept for supporting company internships of students. The combination of different specialists and leaders in various fields of VET, school authorities and teacher education formed the basis for a consortium that could work on a top level. The webLab consortium integrated education institutions in secondary and tertiary education as well as partners from initial vocational education and further education.
