TASKS OF WP3 TASK TASK 3.3: Definition of the detailed training programs of Solar and Geothermal installations using methods and tools previously selected. STATE OF THE TASK: Subtasks ( ).1: Define a model or template to be used in the definition of the detailed training program. (Finished) Subtasks ( ).2: Validate the training program´s template. To be done

2/36 THE GENERAL PURPOSE OF TRAINING DESIGN (or PLANNING): Create a sufficient specification of most important elements that make up a training (programs, courses, seminars and any other training action) in order to materialize it; that is, for developing and delivering effective (or quality) training. As in any other design work, some conditions apply. Technical/Vocational Training Innovative Teaching A diversity of Countries and Training Organizations Integrated Course Design

3/36 KEY ASSUMPTIONS IN THE GSS-VET PROJECT FOR TRAINING DESIGN Determine THE TRAINING DESIGN/PLANNING APPROACH AND INSTRUMENTS The training/education expected, the design guide, templates, management, etc.

4/36 1. Competence Based Training. We want: 2. Qualification Standards. We need: 3. Competence Based Curricula. We need: 4. “Hybrid”/Blended training delivery. We want: ― A training which is performance based and related to workplace practices. ― Competence, which is suitable workplace performance based on complex knowledge applied. ― Training methods that effectively promote the acquisition and development of competence. ― A sufficient (or standard) definition of occupational profiles in the project areas. ― Clarity about competences, perfomance criteria and scope, associated knowledge and levels. ― Modular flexible curricula based on qualification standards predefined in the project areas. ― Clarity about training/education prescriptions: learning outcomes, contents, means, structure… ― A flexible and technology-enhanced training that combines several models of delivery. ― A basic platform for innovative teaching practices. Those that the project try to foster. KEY ASSUMPTIONS IN THE GSS-VET PROJECT FOR TRAINING DESIGN

5/36 THE TRAINING DESIGN APROACH The design focus is placed on an intermediate “course” level appropriate to specify properly courses, units of instruction… or equivalent.

6/36 THE TRAINING DESIGN APROACH The training design/planning task is basically organized in three phases: I. BASIC COURSE PLAN II. ENRICHING ELEMENTS III. COURSE INTEGRATION 1. We specify first the core elements. 2. Then, we enrich and complete our training. 3. Finally, we integrate our design and validate the course. General Structure, Contents, Practice, Assessment, Resources Interactions, Employability Skills, Complementary Activities, Practice in workplace Integrated course plan, preliminary syllabus

7/36 THE TRAINING DESIGN APROACH Activity 1. analyze the module/course description. Activity 2. identify situational factors. Activity 3. create a structure for the course/module. Activity 4. plan instructional units. Activity 5. specify projects and other integrative practices. Activity 6. specify module/course assessment. Activity 7. check basic plans for coherence. Activity 8. plan relevant interactions in the course. Activity 9. plan unit of practice in real work context. Activity 10. plan for developing employability skills. Activity 11. plan complementary activities. Activity 12. integrate the course. Activity 13. consolidate module/course plan (p. syllabus). THE SUGGESTED WORK FLOW BASIC PLAN ENRICHING INTEG.

8/36 THE INSTRUMENTS (Already released): The training design guide explaining the training design approach and activities. Tools (templates) to facilitate the application of the training design approach. (Not released yet): Illustration of the teaching design approach and application. THE GUIDE AND TOOLS ARE IN A PRELIMINARY STATE AND NEED TO BE REVISED AND VALIDATED
