2 Projektinformationen Titel: Projektnummer: Projekttyp: Jahr: 2008 Status: Marketing Text: Zusammenfassung: Mobile Performance Support System für berufliche Bildung und Ausbildung LLP BG-LEONARDO-LMP Innovationsentwicklung bewilligt EU-Zentralisierte Projekte Das Ziel des Projekts ist die Konzeption, Entwicklung, Bewertung und Umsetzung von einem Mobilen Aufgaben-zentrierten selbstgerichteten System für Bildung und Ausbildung (MPSS). MPSS präsentiert mlearning als eine Form der leistungsorientierten, unterstützten Systeme für die Bildungs- und Ausbildungszwecke. Wir haben ein mobiles Content-Management-Lernsystem - mdipseil, entwickelt. Die Ergebnisse des Projekts tragen zur Weiterentwicklung des mobilen Lernens bei und sprechen das Ungleichgewicht zwischen der Verfügbarkeit von mobilen Geräten und der Mangel an Bildung und Ausbildung über die anspruchsvolle Kommunikations-Geräte an, die jeder Schüler und arbeitsaktive Person, in Bulgarien und in anderen EU-Ländern, trägt und ständig nutzt, außer in der Bildung. Mobile devices are popular and well used by many people within our target groups, but not for learning. With the current rate of development mobile devices will have the capability of delivering high quality, multi-media content at affordable prices within next years. Performance centred approach has been proven to be more effective than the traditional lecture-practice-test (expository inductive) in training higher order skills, for preparing learners for self-learning, improving, adapting for changing jobs. This project applies performancecentered approach in mobile learning management system. Results: Performance-centered Mobile Learning Model (PML Model) Mobile Performance Support System (mpss) presents mlearning as a form of performance support system for educational and training purposes. Modules, courses in mpss - A set of learning resources; description of adaptive scenarios; performance centered assessment methods and criteria for evaluation; experts advices Evaluation plan/strategy and the measurement instruments are aimed at measuring the effect of mpss on knowledge, skills and attitudes of students and trainees. In addition, it is going to assess the attitudes of teachers and trainers towards using mpss as a design and delivery platform for education and training support. Report on the findings of the pedagogical research, data analysis from evaluation and effectiveness of mpss The impact for trainees are derived from providing learners with a job aid in the context of their work: Puts training and performance support where the actual work takes place; Allows new skills or knowledge to be immediately applied; Enables training when it is needed; Allows use of rich media when appropriate. The impact for students from vocational education institutions: Students will have more flexibility and choice in where and when they learn; Students will use the technology in their study that would enhance their readiness for tomorrow s workplace where employers want graduates who know how to use technology for learning and working; Given the trend to lifelong learning, many students are working adults with full- or part-time jobs. Mobility offers them an opportunity to maximize learning time. Beschreibung: The overall objective of the project is designing, developing, evaluating and implementing a Mobile Performance-centred Self-directed System for Education and Training (mpss). To this overall objective, the project will work toward achieving the following specific objectives: 1. Building operational definitions and a model of performance-centred learning, performancecentred learning object and self-directed learning in the context of mobile learning. 2. Designing of a learning management system translating the model of 2

Implementing of the mpss in real educational and training settings 4. Evaluating usability, utility and effectiveness of the mpss The concrete aims and objectives are to contribute to the continued development of mobile learning and to address the imbalance identified above between the availability of mobile devices and the lack of education and training provision on the sophisticated communications devices which every student and actively working person, in Bulgaria and other EU countries, carries and uses constantly except in education. The proposal presents mlearning as a form of performance support system for educational and training purposes. The advantages for trainees are derived from providing learners with a job aid in the context of their work: Puts training and performance support where the actual work takes place Allows new skills or knowledge to be immediately applied Enables training when it is needed Allows use of rich media when appropriate The advantages for students from vocational education institutions: Students will have more flexibility and choice in where and when they learn outside of the wired (or un-wired) classroom. Students will use the technology in their study that would enhance their readiness for tomorrow s workplace where employers want graduates who know how to use technology for learning and working. Given the trend to lifelong learning, many students are working adults with full- or part-time jobs. Mobility offers them an opportunity to maximize learning time.

Beschreibung: Main research questions and hypothesis behind: How mobile devices can be used in education/training process? As a tool to support educators mobile devices allow the recording and maintenance of the lessons take place, the instructional procedures, the type of mentoring and the pedagogical approach, the role of the teacher and students. On the other hand, mobile devices can be used as instructional tools to constructive learning. Mobile devices can be treated as tools that help students execute their tasks and promote the balanced development of their mental abilities by functioning as intellectual partners to the instructor and the learner. Learning materials development Course units can be project-oriented and designed by adding a technological angle in well defined educational tasks. Along the same lines, Colley and Steady (2003) address the need to produce innovative material that maintains a clear perspective on the learning goal. It might not be able to deliver three hour course on a PDA but is it feasible to deliver small learning activities and a number of documents, and exercises. To produce materials and design the content to be appropriate to stimulate and support the learner, knowledge of the technological constraints should exist. Consequently, to produce acceptable learning materials for mobile devices there is a need for educators, engineers, and computer scientists to collaborate and coordinate their actions and activities. Mobile technology could be used in engineer and science education and training Performance-centred pedagogical methods and instructional approaches could be applied What is the role of the educators and the students in the design, development and implementation of the innovation? Educators should be involved throughout the entire process of designing, developing and implementing mobile technology integration. Students need to have direct input on the process and features being developed. Additionally, educators need to be trained on how to apply mobile devices in their practices. Collaboration among various stakeholders: educators, students/ learners, engineers, computer scientists. What are the educational benefits and gains that can be achieved? Research showed so far that through mobile devices reluctant learners can be motivated, hard-to-reach learners can be reached, various skills can be developed and improved as well as better communication among learners and between learners and instructors can be achieved. We perform an experiment in order to examine the integration of mobile devices and their effects on various parameters such as students learning, performance, and behaviour, before moving further. Zielgruppe: researchers and educators in the area of e-learning and m-learning training departments human resoures development departments teachers/trainers Resultat: The evaluation strategy triangulated different research methods (quantitative and qualitative), different types of experimental designs (pre-test, post-test with control group, and case study) different types of experimental subjects (students with different grade, and teachers), different types of data analysis (descriptive and inferential statistics), across different content domains. Anwendungsbereich: Evaluation plan could be embedded in all phases of the mclms development and implementation - analysis, design, development and intergration in training and education. &prd=2 12
