Description

The joint project MeinBerufBau focuses, in the sense of a narrow understanding of inclusion, on trainees with a learning disability who (would like to) complete dual training in a training occupation in the construction industry. (http://www.mein-beruf-bau.de/)
The project MeinBerufBau focuses on basic vocational training (1st year of training) at the Kerpen training centre, where the learning applications developed are to be anchored as a constitutive element of training in the sense of sustainable implementation.

Project/Initiative Data

Start Date:
20180601

End Date:
20210630

Total Budget:
550887,88€

Phases:
The Academic and Research Department Technical Didactics of Structural Engineering of RWTH Aachen University develops and tests together with the Berufsförderungswerk der Bauindustrie NRW gGmbH at the Kerpen Training Centre and the Learning Technologies Researchgroup of RWTH Aachen University inclusive learning settings which, based on content-related or subject-specific learning barriers, are linked in a potential-oriented manner to the individual learning requirements of the trainees and systematically refer to real practical requirements. In this context, it is planned to develop a mobile application including a toolbox for the development of collaborative specialist training content. In addition, didactic-methodical and technical instructions for trainers will be designed to support the integration of the learning application into the vocational teaching-learning processes. In the testing phases, the Academic and Research Department Technical Didactics of Structural Engineering and the Learning Technologies Researchgroup provide scientific support and evaluate the use of the learning application from a didactic, methodological and technical perspective.

Partners

BFW NRW gGmbH, RWTH Aachen

Aim

The aim is to develop digital learning settings that provide novel forms for joint learning by trainees with and without learning disabilities.

Exchange of Experiences:
The Kerpen Training Centre supports RWTH Aachen University in this by participating in evaluations of everyday training, training instructors and trainees in workshops and organising and carrying out information events for partner companies in the construction industry.

Outcomes

Results of the project/initiative:
The vocational field-wide training in the training centre comprises seven trades in which the learning application with its toolbox is developed, tested and evaluated in close cooperation with trainers and trainees. The focus here is on a toolbox that is geared to the lively day-to-day training, tailored to the needs and uses of the trainees and is intended to help them understand and implement specialist content more easily.

Policy/Initiative

Skills Gaps:
Design of barrier-free learning and educational processes for joint learning of trainees with and without learning disabilities

Mis-Matching of Skills:
Solving mis-matching of skills through development of a learning app.
