Personalised learning project Presentation to Colleges – ColegauCymru Network meeting – Nov 4th 2014 YsbrydoliArloesiLlwyddo- Inspire Innovate Succeed
Transfer of Innovation Project - mapping involving: HAMK – vocational teacher training university in Hameelinna, Finland Mercantec, Jutland, Denmark and the Danish Government ROC West Brebant, Netherlands Slovenian Ministry of Education Coleg Cambria http://www.teaching-map.eu/
The project aims to support individual study planning in VET. Products: MAP– principles which develop individualised learning teacher training unit: Mooc & CPD units to develop innovative approaches multimedia documentation – case studies of best practice
Activities Developed observation grid to evaluate the good practice in the two countries of knowledge transfer: • Denmark • Finland http://www.teaching-map.eu/outcomes/mapping-quality-grid/ Under took observations and interviews with students, teachers and managers in both countries and defined what individualised study planning meant to us based on best practice. Highly influenced by this research: http://www.slideshare.net/barbarabray1/pdi-v3-2
Key findings - Denmark Use of monitoring, ILP, marking & feedback software for teachers, learners, employers, parents - Elevplan Individualised task choice with common assessment goals, lots of independent learning in spaces around the classroom – little didactic teaching, more project based task development Every learner brought their own laptop to class, enabled independent learning When learning topics, learners could choose to stay and learn didactically or go off and do work independently and then seek help when stuck - differentiation
Key findings - Finland More structured in terms of task setting – but high levels of differentiation with individual learning planning – pace of learning and units chosen Lots of blended learning opportunities for selected units – use of social media to develop learning communities l Very high quality teacher training focussing on active learning methods and learning technologies Vocational learning as academic learning – e.g. agriculture and bio-sciences, study languages and science alongside vocational subjects Not the option for less able learners
Outcomes Using blogs and social media tools for learners to develop literacy skills and evidence technical skills development Bought Promonitor Tool for student tracking Further developing online communities – Google communities and Google classroom Strong focus on high quality teacher training as a corporate programme to develop and share best practice teach smarter, learn better approaches – Schemes of learning, More flexible teaching and task design, project based approaches Learning activities resource bank Prep & flipped classrooms Peer assessment & A for L Promoting independent learning skills based on ‘personalisation’ and improving differentiationg
