Transfer of Innovative Methodology for Assessment of VET Teachers’ Prior Learning

The aim of the project is to enrich the existing VET teachers’ education programmes in three partner countries – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia by developing introductory module for Assessment of Prior Learning (APL). The possibility to recognize non-formal and informal learning achievements will increase the access to formal education and personalize studies for VET teachers, having practice and pedagogical experience, but having no formal teaching qualification. Expected project results:• study of APL in VET teachers’ education systems in partner countries;• methodology for assessment of VET teachers’ prior learning, basing on “donor” – partner (Jyvaskyla University of Applied Sciences) experience;• study module for assessors of VET teachers’ prior learning developed and tested in partner countries;• trained groups of assessors of VET teachers’ prior learning in three partner countries – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia;• introductory module for assessment of VET teachers’ prior learning developed and tested in partner countries.In three partner countries – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia – there are modular study programmes based on the acquisition of competencies, but there is no possibility for VET teachers to assess and recognize their non-formal and informal learning achievements. Project activities and results will promote the development of VET teachers’ education system by establishing the methodology for the assessment of the prior (non-formal and informal) learning and the study module based on this methodology. The possibility to recognize non-formal and informal learning achievements would increase the access to formal education and personalize studies for VET teachers, having practice and pedagogical experience, but having no formal teaching qualification.More information about the project is available at www.vdu.lt/tima-balt.
