ACTIVITY BASED TRAINING WITHIN PLASTIC WELDING' A NEW TRAINING APPROACH

摘要

Globalization of industrial production processes requires harmonization within education of personnel both in the industry sector as well as in the VET schools, thus promoting free movement of personnel between different fabrications sites in Europe. Of particular interest is certification based training following the production schedule and industrial process.Training within mechanical industry and in particular the welding community is still frequently often carried out with traditional means, i.e. classroom based training with blackboard equipment, overhead, flip-over and PC's as the general tools. The design of learning services must change from content based to activity based learning systems. Activity Based Training (ABT) closely follows the industrial production- and fabrication processes. Competence is defined as "the ability to meet demands or carry out a task successfully, and consists of cognitive and non-cognitive dimensions".The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of the ongoing developments of new pedagogical methodologies that utilize a blended learning framework by mixing ABT with state of the art solutions for inclusion of video and other digital tools in order to offer improved transfer of knowledge within the industry. A production process oriented fabrication chain approach with job orders and job packages constitute the fundamental building blocks within the new training paradigm.
