  27. STUWER PROJECT • Start : 2001-2003 AASSAW-project : getting more migrant students interested in studies social educator

  28. Prolonging of the project 2004-2007 • Stimulating adults going studying again • Special program for workers, other ways of learning

  29. Principles • STUWER translated as "launching pad", • Dutch : Studeren en Werken (study and work), of which Stuwer is an acronym. • It is a launching pad that helps along adult learners, with a specifically designed programme and a set of individualised study and life environments which will enable the learner to obtain a regular bachelor degree. • The study experience is composed of independent work and independent learning • In order to be allowed on this course the adult learner has to be over 25 years old, with work or life experience

  30. In the course programme the students combine work and study in the field of the special educator or working as a employee. • The STUWER student does not follow the rhythm of the regular programme. • They have working sessions every two weeks, at Thursday evening, during 4 hours each time. • Various needs and requirements within the target group of prospective students

  31. At this moment we support 3 routes in the STUWER programme. • STUwer-strand: for adult learners who need retraining. The main focus lies in study work. • stuWER-strand: for working adults who want to widen their horizon and focus on the profession of special or social educator • CVO -strand: for the special target group of adults with a so-called 'CVO- social educator degree". These students enter the course with a EQF Level 5 Degree.

  32. The universities and university colleges in Flanders do not really have centres for continuous learning yet. • Obviously there are courses for graduate students, but the adult learner as such is a rather new target group in most higher education institutes. • The adult learner cannot be treated as any 18-year old undergraduate

  33. The learner profile is a worker of at least 25 or older, who has not yet obtained a degree (Bachelor) in special/social education, but who does have work and life experience. To comply with the general conditions for enrolling this course are very important: • Works in the field of special/social education or is willing to start in that field • Having Dutch mandatory, both oral and written • Must be willing to study and work on an independent basis • A diploma of secondary education is mandatory for enrolment (legal requirement) or a assessment test

  34. Other Grundtvig project 2003-2005 How to reach

  35. Partners • Sweden : Solleftea • Spain : Melide (Galicië) • Spain : Ibi (near Alicante) • Italy (only one year) • Belgium • More information : www.khim.be/saw

  36. List the difficulties and problems of his/her own institution (ie. under the framework of the project: what is the estimated level of integration of immigrants and the risks/potential for marginalization) • Low level of education /marginalization • Ambition to go studying in higher education in social sciences is low (too good social services system ???) • Language problems : (marriage and migration problem : dwelling with the tap open ?) • Financial problems of the immigrants : computer at home ? • Finding a job : high level of discrimination on the workfloor/racism ………problems with immigrant youth in trouble, criminality, polarization of different culture groups : autochthons versus immigrants

  37. Describe the use of ICT in your institution (learners, teachers, staff) who ICT is or not a way to make easier/better the process of learning. • High use of ICT for communication between students, teachers, by email, school website, …. • One computer class with 24 pc’s and library with about 30 pc’s for students and staff rooms with about 15 pc’s. (for a total of 1200 people on the campus) • Most of the students have pc at home or laptop • Development of a wireless network at the campus • Learning environment : Toledo (Blackboard) • http://bb.khlim.be

  38. Expectations • Learning about each culture and educational goals in working with adult students. • What are the advantages and disadvantages of virtual learning environments and how can you use it for optimalization of the learning process. • How can ICT help with distance learning with adults who have problems with mobility to the school (work, family,….)
