Swiss innovative teaching and training in VET
The Swiss international VET Academy offers this specialised course with the aim of enabling participants to gain an in-depth understanding of the rationale of the situated VET approach and to apply it in practice or in a didactic situation. This means that at the end of the course, participants will be able to use the approach for individual implementation in the school and/or professional context.
This course introduces the situated VET approach. Participants approach the rationale and the underlying philosophy on the basis of their own experiences. The didactic principle is introduced together with reflections on the importance of the attitude of teachers (emotional leadership). The aim is to enable participants to deeply understand the rationale of the approach and to apply it in practice or in a didactic situation. To this end, situation-based didactics is presented with the objective of individual acquisition and implementation in the school context, but also in the workplace.
