Welcome to SME MASTER Plus
The European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) is a European instrument to foster mobility in vocational education and training. It has been developed by Member States in cooperation with the European Commission. In 2008, the European Commission issued a call for proposal to finance projects under the lifelong learning action programme whose aim was to test the implementation of the ECVET process. As a result, SME MASTER Plus and nine other pilot projects were selected.
SME MASTER Plus is targeting on implementing ECVET in the formal training programmes of Master Craftsperson. The enhancement of transnational mobility in Master Craftsperson training will be realized on the basis of sustainable international partnerships.
Partners involved in SME MASTER Plus mostly represent the interests and needs of the skilled craft sector in their respective countries. Most of them are competent and/or intermediary bodies and active members of the European platform Euronaver.net (www.euronaver.net), which aims at enhancing mobility in VET. They consider the establishment of transnational mobility programmes as an important part of the vocational education and training of apprentices and Master craftsperson trainees in craft sectors.
SME MASTER Plus builds on the outcomes of a previous project, the SME MASTER project, which was focused on the qualification of the master baker. The result of this project was a grid of units of learning outcomes for this qualification. However, SME MASTER did not result in either the allocation of ECVET points to units or a model of partnership agreement. SME MASTER Plus will therefore try to focus on these aspects while transferring the methodology used for SME MASTER to other crafts sectors, such as floristry, hairdressing and woodworking.
SME MASTER Plus will be undertaken in two stages:
The first stage will focus on the implementation of ECVET principles such as formulation of learning outcomes, design of units, templates for the memorandum of understanding and the learning agreement for the Master Baker education. Partners will also reflect upon the requirements for assessment, validation and recognition of units in the context of transnational mobility.
The second stage will concern the methodology-transfer to the three other sectors mentioned above. The different tools will be tested through concrete mobility experiences.
Dobrodošli na SME MOJSTER Plus
Evropski sistem kreditnih točk v poklicnem izobraževanju in usposabljanju (ECVET), je evropski instrument za spodbujanje mobilnosti v poklicnem izobraževanju in usposabljanju. Razvile so ga države članice v sodelovanju z Evropsko komisijo. Leta 2008 je Evropska komisija objavila razpis za zbiranje predlogov za financiranje projektov v okviru programa vseživljenjskega učenja, katerega cilj je bil preizkus izvajanja procesa ECVET. Izbrani so bili SME Mojster Plus in devet drugih pilotnih projektov.
Cilj SME MOJSTER Plus je izvajanje sistema ECVET v programih formalnega izobraževanja mojstrov. Povečanje transnacionalne mobilnosti pri usposabljanju mojstrov bo realizirano na podlagi trajnostnih mednarodnih partnerstev.
Partnerji, ki so vključeni v SME MOJSTER Plus večinoma zastopajo interese in potrebe kvalificiranih obrti v svojih državah. Večina od njih so pristojni in/ali posredniški organi ter aktivni člani evropske platforme Euronaver.net (www.euronaver.net), katere cilj je povečanje mobilnosti v poklicnem izobraževanju in usposabljanju. Vzpostavitev mednarodnih programov mobilnosti obravnavajo kot pomemben del poklicnega izobraževanja in usposabljanja vajencev in mojstrskih kandidatov v obrtnih sektorjih.
SME MOJSTER Plus temelji na rezultatih prejšnjega projekta, SME MOJSTER, ki je bil osredotočen na kvalifikacije pekovskega mojstra. Rezultat tega projekta je bila mreža enot učnih rezultatov za to kvalifikacijo. Vendar, SME MASTER kot rezultat ni prinesel niti dodelitve točk ECVET enotam, niti modela sporazuma o partnerstvu. SME MASTER Plus se bo zato poskušal osredotočiti na te vidike, hkrati pa prenesel metodologijo, uporabljeno pri SME MOJSTER tudi drugim sektorjem obrti, kot so cvetličarstvo, frizerstvo in mizarstvo.
Projekt SME MOJSTER Plus bo potekal v dveh fazah:
Prva faza se bo osredotočila na izvajanje načel ECVET, kot so oblikovanje učnih rezultatov, izdelava enot, predlogi za memorandum o soglasju ter dogovor o izobraževanju za pekovske mojstre. Partnerji bodo proučili tudi zahteve za ocenjevanje, potrjevanje in priznavanje enot v okviru transnacionalne mobilnosti.
Druga faza se bo nanašala na metodologijo - prenos na tri prej omenjene sektorje obrti (cvetličarstvo, frizerstvo in mizarstvo). Različna orodja bodo preizkušena s pomočjo konkretnih izkušenj z mobilnostjo.
Willkommen bei SME MASTER Plus
Das Europäische Leistungspunktsystem für die Berufsbildung (European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training ECVET) ist ein europäisches Transparenzinstrument, um die grenzüberschreitende Mobilität in der beruflichen Aus- und Weiterbildung zu fördern. Es wurde von den EU-Mitgliedsstaaten in Zusammenarbeit mit der Europäischen Kommission entwickelt. Nach einer europaweiten Ausschreibung hat die Kommission 2008 zehn Pilotprojekte zur Erprobung von ECVET ausgewählt. Eines davon ist SME MASTER Plus.
SME Master Plus ist ein Projekt zur Erprobung von ECVET in der Ausbildung zum / zur Meister/in. Ziel ist es die Mobilität von Meisterschülern zu Lern- und Arbeitszwecken auf der Basis nachhaltiger Partnerschaften umzusetzen.
Die Partner von SME MASTER Plus vertreten in ihren Ländern die Interessen des Wirtschaftsbereichs Handwerk. In der Mehrzahl handelt es sich um für die Meisterprüfung zuständige Stellen. Einige der Partner sind aktive Mitglieder des Europäischen Netzwerkes EURONAVER (www.euronaver.net), das auf die Förderung der grenzüberschreitenden Mobilität in der Berufsbildung abzielt. Die Partner betrachten den weiteren Ausbau von Mobilitätsprojekten als einen wichtigen Bestandteil in der Ausbildung von Lehrlingen und Meisterschülern im Handwerk.
SME MASTER Plus baut auf den Ergebnissen des Vorgängerprojekts SME Master auf, das sich mit der exemplarischen Erprobung der methodischen Grundlagen von ECVET am Beispiel der Qualifikation zum / zur Bäckermeister/-in beschäftigt hat. Ergebnis dieses Projekts war eine kompetenzorientierte Darstellung dieser Qualifikation in Form einer Lernergebnismatrix. Allerdings konnten im Rahmen von SME Master nicht alle Elemente von ECVET erprobt werden, beispielsweise der Einsatz und Transfer von Leistungspunkten sowie Modelle für Partnerschaftsvereinbarungen und individuelle Lernvereinbarun-gen. SME MASTER Plus wird sich daher stärker diesen Aspekten widmen und zugleich die in SME Master entwickelte Methodik auf die Meisterausbildung in den Gewerben Florist, Friseur und Tischler übertragen.
Das Projekt SME MASTER Plus untergliedert sich in zwei Phasen:
Die erste Phase konzentriert sich auf die Umsetzung der verschiedenen Elemente von ECVET, im Wesentlichen die Formulierung von Lernergebnissen, deren strukturelle Glie-derung in Lerneinheiten (Units), die Entwicklung von Modellen für Partnerschaftsvereinbarungen und individuellen Lernvereinbarungen für die Qualifikation zum / zur Bäckermeister/-in. Daneben sollen Verfahren für eine Bewertung, Anrechnung und Übertragung von Lernergebnissen und / oder Lerneinheiten, die im Rahmen eines Lernaufenthaltes im Ausland erworben worden sind, diskutiert werden.
In der zweiten Phase des Projekts wird diese Methode auf die drei oben genannten Meisterqualifikationen übertragen. Außerdem sollen die verschiedenen Instrumente im Rahmen von Austauschprojekten praktisch erprobt werden.
Bienvenue sur SME MASTER PLUS
Les crédits d’apprentissage européens pour la formation et l’enseignement professionnels (ECVET) sont un instrument destiné à encourager la mobilité dans la formation par l’alternance. Il a été développé par les Etats membres en coopération avec la Commission européenne qui a lancé en 2008 un appel pour financer sous le programme de formation tout au long de la vie, les projets visant à tester la mise en œuvre du processus ECVET. Le projet Sme Master Plus et neuf autres projets pilotes ont été sélectionnés.
Sme Master Plus a donc pour objectif la mise en œuvre d’ECVET pour le parcours de formation conduisant au titre de Maître artisan.
Afin d’améliorer la mobilité transnationale des apprenants engagés dans le cursus du titre de Maître artisan, le projet prévoit la construction de partenariats internationaux durables, garants du développement de ces actions.
Les partenaires du Sme Master Plus représentent majoritairement les intérêts et les besoins nationaux du secteur artisanal. La plupart d’entre eux sont des organisations intermédiaires ou compétentes et membres actifs de la plateforme Euronaver.net (www.euronaver.net) qui vise à renforcer la mobilité dans la formation professionnelle. Ils estiment que le développement de programmes de mobilité transnationale est un facteur important dans le parcours formatif des apprentis postulants au titre de Maître artisan et de leurs formateurs.
Sme Master Plus est construit sur les bases jetées par un projet précédent, Sme Master, centré sur la qualification de Maître artisan boulanger. L’aboutissement de ce projet est la grille d’unités des résultats de l’apprentissage pour cette certification. Cependant Sme Master n’a pas affecté les points ECVET aux unités ainsi définies. Il n’a pas non plus produit un modèle d’accord de partenariat. Par conséquent Sme Master Plus se centre sur ces deux aspect tout en transférant la méthodologie utilisée pour Sme Master à d’autres métiers, tels que la fleuristerie, la coiffure et l’ébénisterie.
Sme Master Plus se déroulera en deux étapes :
La première étape se focalise sur le développement des principes ECVET tels que la formulation des résultats de l’apprentissage, la construction des unités, l’élaboration d’un modèle de mémorandum explicatif ainsi que l’accord sur la formation au titre de Maître artisan boulanger. De même les partenaires définiront les critères d’évaluation, de validation et de reconnaissance des unités dans un contexte de mobilité transnationale.
La seconde étape concernera la méthodologie de transfert aux trois autres secteurs mentionnés. Les outils mis au point seront testés au moyen d’expériences concrètes de mobilité.
Velkommen til SME MASTER Plus
European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) er et europeisk tiltak for å fremme mobilitet innenfor fag- og yrkesopplæring. Vekten ligger på at oppnådde læringsresultater skal være grunnlaget for sammenligninger. Systemet har blitt utviklet i de enkelte land i samarbeid med EU-Kommisjonen. I 2008 inviterte EU-Kommisjonen til å søke om prosjektmidler fra programmet for livslang læring for å prøve ut ECVET i praksis. SME MASTER Plus var ett av ti pilotprosjekter som fikk sin søknad innvilget.
SME MASTER Plus tar sikte på å benytte ECVET i opplæringsprogrammene fram mot et Mesterbrev i de landene som deltar. Ett av målene er å styrke transnasjonal mobilitet i mesterutdannelsen og hvor en tar sikte på å utvikle stabile og levedyktige internasjonale partnerskap.
Partnerne som deltar i SME MASTER Plus representerer de håndverksfaglige interessene i de landene som er med. De fleste organisasjonene er ansvarlige for utstedelsen av Mesterbrev i de respektive land og/eller de er aktive i det europeiske nettverket Euronaver.net (www.euronaver.net). Euronaver har som mål å styrke mobilitet i fag- og yrkesopplæring. Her er organiseringen av transnasjonale mobilitetsprogrammer for lærlinger og mesterkandidater et sentralt virkemiddel.
SME MASTER Plus tar utgangspunkt i resultatene fra det tidligere prosjektet SME MASTER som brukte „den europeiske bakermester“ som eksempel. Resultatet fra dette prosjektet var en samlematrise som spesifiserte de grunnleggende læringsresultater som måtte være dokumentert for å kunne kalle seg Bakermester. Det ble ikke fordelt ECVET-poeng eller vekting av læringsresultatene i denne fasen. SME MASTER Plus kommer derfor til å vektlegge dette samtidig som utvikling av partnerskap vil stå sentralt. Erfaringene fra bakerfaget vil bli videreført til nye håndverksfag, i første omgang blomsterdekoratør, frisør og møbelsnekker.
SME MASTER Plus vil bli gjennomført i to trinn:
Første trinn vil rettes mot grunnleggende ECVET-prinsipper som identifisering og formulering av læringsresultater og organisering av disse i gjenkjennbare enheter. Det vil også bli utviklet maler for samarbeidsdokumenter som memoranda for gjensidig forståelse, læringsavtaler og godkjenningsprinsipper, eksemplifisert med bakerfaget. Samtidig vil krav til kontroll, godkjenning og sertifisering med tanke på transnasjonal mobilitet bli vurdert fortløpende.
Det andre trinnet vil videreføre erfaringene fra bakerfaget med tilpassede metodeoverføringer rettet mot blomsterdekoratør, frisør og møbelsnekker. Den praktiske utprøvingen vil skje gjennom transnasjonale utvekslingsordninger for lærlinger og mesterkandidater.
