Professional Training in different technical sectors
Wolfgang Lay, General Manager,
Dr.-Ing. Paul Christiani GmbH &Co. KG, Technical Institute for vocational Training
The main goal of DUAL Education, as it is written down in the German Professional Education Act, is to provide Professional Performance Competence (Handlungskompetenz). This competence comprises technical, methodological and social competencies.
Goals
The workshop gives an insight to the didactic approach. It introduces, how professional (industrial) media can be used for a professional training, which simulates industrial practice and industrial processes – shaping DUAL.training-solutions! Best practice examples
are introduced from the following different professional fields:
Part I
Action based Training in the field of Mechatronics and Automation
The workshop will present a training concept for engineers, technicians and workers in highly automated production plants.
Part II
Shaping the future – with experts for renewable Energy
The Production and distribution of renewable Energy are very important challenges of the future. This workshop presents an sophisticated approach to train the experts of the future
Part III
Hands on Training for Automotive Service Staff
The workshop will present an practical related approach of Trainings for automotive service staff. The workshop will give an overview
how to use training equipment in action based training arrangements.
Cooperation

eLEARNING - MOBILE LEARNING - RENEWABLE ENERGIES
Mobile Learning
Potentials of new media technologies for vocational education in Thailand
Dr. Michael Grosch, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)
Mobile technologies are an intensely discussed topic in the educational debate and national educational strategy. Currently tablet computers are comprehensively handed out to primary students in Thailand as well as in other countries. Also in vocational education, these technologies could play an
important role in the future. Though, there is a lack of knowledge about how they should be used in a
didactical context and if they significantly will improve the quality of teaching and learning. The workshop aims to discuss this topic and tries to collect ideas about if and how new mobile and social
media technologies can support high-quality vocational education and later on, if there could be projects being carried out to research and promote these technologies in vocational education.
We are currently running an international media survey, where we comprehensively are surveying the
media usage of students in higher education. This survey can be a base to proceed from and is aimed to be extended into the vocational education area. Currently about 40 universities from 11 countries are participating. During the last year also 3,000 undergraduate
students from six Thai universities were surveyed. This sample represents the first comprehensive database about the use of tablet
computers for learning in Thailand and how this use correlates to the quality of learning and the learning outcome. The students were
asked 150 questions about their media usage for learning and about other relevant factors (learning behavior, media skills, cultural
background, educational biography etc.). A focus of the survey lies on mobile technologies and the web 2.0, but also other areas (traditional print media, e-learning, library services and other) were asked for.
