Berufliche Bildung in Forschung, Schule und Arbeitswelt / Vocational Education and Training: Research and Practice – serie

«Re-Engineering» Dual Training – The Malaysian Experience shows how a new industrial country is successfully pursuing the aim to ensure the extremely swift increase of economic development by initiatives and concepts for the qualification of skilled workers. This publication reflects the analysis of best practice in training which centers around the workplace in lead countries as well as the philosophy, policies and procedures of the emerging Malaysian National Dual Training System. Excellence in high-tech work must be based on excellence in training. Training based on targeting specific competencies was seen as a way to achieve this excellence. However, this apparently logical approach, which seemed to make it the panacea for meeting today’s pressing high-tech training needs, has failed to keep its promise. Yet, its undisputable contribution to the development of highly effective training has been to create awareness that the necessary accountability of training can only be secured through the definition of occupational standards. However, when they only reflect the immediate work which has to be carried out at the workplace, occupational standards seemingly fall short. The rapidly changing context of work also needs to be reflected, and therefore a new focus on the workprocess is needed to guide the necessary reorientation in training.

Gute Lehre an Hochschulen hat in den vergangenen Jahren erheblich an Bedeutung gewonnen. Dies gilt angesichts hoher Studienabbruchquoten insbesondere in den Ingenieurswissenschaften. Um die Effekte guter Lehre auf die Lernergebnisse bei den Studierenden zu erfassen, fehlen jedoch bislang empirisch abgesicherte Instrumente. Dieser Band stellt aktuelle konzeptionelle und empirische Arbeiten vor und beleuchtet sie aus methodischer Sicht sowie mit Blick auf die didaktische Verwertung in der Hochschullehre.Good teaching at universities has considerably gained importance within the last years. This is especially relevant with regard to the high drop-out rates, above all in engineering sciences. At the moment, however, there is a lack of empirically valid instruments for the assessment of the impact of good teaching on the students’ learning results. This volume presents current conceptual and empirical works with a focus on methodology and their didactical application in university teaching.

How can it be ensured that vocational education matches the requirements of the increasingly complex world of work? In search of a suitable approach, it has become evident that Competence-Based Training cannot provide this service since it focuses on static "work" instead of encompassing dynamic "work-processes." Consequently it is necessary to rely on the analysis of work-processes when designing a detailed curriculum for a digitalized environment and Industry 4.0. The results of the work-process analyses reflect the spectrum of requirements and are applied as the core elements for the shaping of detailed curricula. This ensures a state of the art of curricula and facilitates their swift development in matching changes in the world of work.
