Indikatorer for god praksis i erhvervsuddannelse for flygtninge ERASMUS+

Tilstrømningen af flygtninge i årene 2014-6 er betegnet som en'flygtninge-krise' for Europa, og integrationen af de flygtninge med opholdstilladelse, er et centralt mål for flygtningepolitikken. Erhvervsrettede uddannelser en vigtig vej til integration og et aktivt arbejdsliv. Rundt om i Europa er der taget mange initiativer i erhvervsuddannelserne til at inkludere flygtninge. Men hidtil er der meget lidt udveksling af erfaringer med hvordandet bedst kan gøres. I dette projekt „Indicators of Good VET practice for refugees“ er målet at udbrede erfaringer fra fire andre europæiske lande (Tyskland,Italien, Østrig og Danmark). Ud fra disse erfaringer udvikler projektet nogle retninglinjer (indikatorer) for kvalitet i indsatsen for integration afflygtninge. De vil blive anvendt i et web-baseret analyseredskab, som er tilgængeligt for praktikeres udvikling af integrationsindsatsen i erhvervsuddannelserne. Anvendelsen af redskabet bliver dokumenteret med 20 eksempler på ’god praksis’ . Eksemplerne beskrives med særligt sigte på udbydere af erhvervsuddannelser. Samtidigt udarbejder projektet en praksis-orienteret manual til brug ved tilrettelæggelsenaf erhvervsuddannelser for flygtninge. Den stilles til rådighed som et gratis on-line redskab for alle interesserede.

Moving Trades

After a period of closure, the European markets for labour and services have anew been opened for free movement, in recent decades spurring unprecedented flows of labour and skills from the countries around the Baltic
Sea and Eastern Europe to neighbouring countries. In the project "Moving Trades" we will analyse how this labour migration pattern affect skill formation systems and use of skills in the labour market in countriesin both the receiving and sending end of the new migratory flows. The interdependence between countries and the national policy responses to the challenges will influence the outcomes on the national and regional level. On the receiving end we focus on Norway and a group of other countries (Denmark, Germany and Switzerland) that also have collective systems of vocational education and training (VET) based on apprenticeships.

Drenges veje i uddannelsessystemet.

Formålet med projektet er skabe ny viden om, hvorfor det i stigende grad er drenge, der marginaliseres i uddannelsessystemet og havner i den uddannelsesmæssige restgruppe. Projektet vil over tid følge flere grupper af drenge i erhvervsuddannelserne og undersøge deres forestillinger og planer om fremtiden med hensyn til uddannelse og beskæftigelse. Fokus er på samspillet mellem på den ene side ungdomskultur og unges identiteter og på den anden side skolekultur og fagkultur i erhvervsuddannelserne. Formålet er desuden at bidrage til udvikling af teorier, der kan give en dynamisk og differentieret forståelse af de kønnede overgangsmønstre i det danske uddannelsessystem set i lyset af den kulturelle modernisering og udviklingen mod et vidensamfund.

Projektet er støttet af VELUX Fonden 2012 - 2015
 

The future of Vocational education – learning from the Nordic countries

Comparative research projects involving researchers from Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The purpose of the project is to generate significant new knowledge on the strengths and weaknesses characterizing the different models of vocational education and training (VET) at higher secondary level in the Nordic countries. This knowledge will increase the opportunities for systematic policy learning in relation to key dilemmas in the development of VET in the future in these countries.
the project has a special focus on how the systems handle the double challenge of qualifying for employment and providing access to HE? The revitalisation of modern forms of apprenticeship programmes in a number of Nordic countries has drawn attention to the risk that these programmes become ‘dead-ends’ in the educational system, with weak linkages to the tertiary level of education. Comprehensive education on the other hand often suffers from weak linkagess to the labour market and difficult transitions to employment. What are the experiences of programmes for double or hybrid that provide access to higher education as well as work-based learning and skilled employment?

Funded by NordForsk programme 'Education for tomorrow' 2013 - 2016

Europæisk forskningsprojekt. Hybrid qualifications - increasing the value of Vocational Education and Training in the context of Lifelong Learning, (Leonardo-projekt). http://hq-lll.eu/

The project has the aim to examine the institutional and functional relations between the subsystems university education (tertiary sector) and vocational education (depending on the country post-secondary or secondary sector) and the labour market and formulate recommendations for constructive further developments of transitions as well as chances of access from the vocational to the tertiary education

Gennemføres i samarbejde med Institut für Wirtschaftspädagogik, Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, Universität Konstanz, University of Southampton. Løber 2009 – 2011

Erhvervsuddannelserne og arbejdsmarkederne i Norden – for Nordisk Ministerråd

Projektet løber i 2010-11 og skal beskrive og sammenligne de nordiske utdanningssystemers og opplæringstilbyderes metoder for å tilpasse innhold og utforming av yrkesopplæringen etter arbeidsmarkedes behov. Sentrale spørsmål er; Hvordan bestemmes innholdet i yrkesopplæringen i landene og hvem er det som gjør dette? Har noen av landene eller bransjene funnet gode metoder for å identifisere fremtidige behov eller er det dagens behov som beskrives? Hvordan er samarbeidet mellom utdanningsmyndighetene og arbeidslivet, herunder partene i arbeidslivet og bransjene?

Forskningsprojektet Fastholdelse af elever i det danske erhvervsuddannelsessystem, finansieret af det Strategiske Forskningsråd. Projektet skal undersøge årsager til frafald og muligheder for øget fastholdelse af unge i erhvervsuddannelserne i Danmark og bidrage til at flere unge kan gennemføre en ungdomsuddannelse. I projektet deltager udover Roskilde Universitet 4 andre forskningsinstitutioner: Aarhus Universitet, Danmarks Pædagogiske Universitetsskole, Aalborg Universitet og Anvendt KommunalForskning. Projektet løber over 4 år frem til udgangen af 2012. Til projektet er knyttet 5 PhD studerende, blandt andet Lene Ingemann Brandt på PAES.

Drop out in the Nordic countries – project for the Nordic Council of Ministers

Et nordisk projekt som undersøger frafald i ungdomsuddannelserne via sammenlignende landestudier. Projektet løber i 2009 – 10.

Publikationen ”Frafall i videregående opplæring i de nordiske land” er publiceret maj 2010 af Nordisk Ministerråd.

Bedre samspil mellem skolepraktik og ordinær virksomhedspraktik i erhvervsuddannelserne, Analyseprojekt for undervisningsministeriet. Målet er at udvikle forslag til hvordan skolepraktik bedre kan kombineres med den ordinære virksomhedspraktik udfra analyser af kvaliteten i den danske skolepraktikordning og på baggrund af analyser af erfaringer fra lignende udenlandske ordninger. Løber 2009 – 10.
