This is an introduction to our MOSEP project ...TRANSCRIPT
MOSEP - More Self-Esteem with my E-Portfolio
Development of a train-the-trainer course for e-portfolio tutors a Leonardo da Vinci Project
The Problem: Drop-outs!
Benchmark 2010
“By 2010 only 15 % of newly created jobs will be for people with basic schooling, whereas 50% will require highly skilled workers”. (EU Commission, 2005)
“Half the EU workforce (some 100 million people) require upskilling, a gap that cannot be closed through classroom instruction alone, but will require e-learning scenarios”.
(Urdan et al, 2005)
Requirement: Upskilling!
“Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one’s self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily.”
Thomas Szasz
MOSEP - Details
ι 10 parters from 7 EU-countries:
Austria Germany
France United Kingdom
Lithuania Poland
Bulgaria
ι Duration: 2 years (August 2006 – July 2008)
ι Funding Programme: Leonardo da Vinci(Pilot Projekts – A/06/B/F/PP – 158.301)
ι Website: http://www.mosep.org
MOSEP - Aims
ι The age group of 14-16-year-olds will be familiarised with e-portfolio as a method for self directed and life-long learning.
ι Teachers will be traines to support young learners to identify and reflect on their strengths and improvement areas
ι to better develop their skills and competences
ι to improve their self-presentation skills
ι to become aware of their potentials and in this way foster their self-esteem
ι to continue their school careers or vocational trainings
MOSEP - Outcomes
ι MOSEP Study – Grab your future with an e-portfolio
ι MOSEP course for teachers, trainers and vocational counsellors freely accessible http://wiki.mosep.org
ι MOSEP pilot testing and evaluation of the training course
ι 4th EduMedia conference: Salzburg June 2008
MOSEP - Solution
ι Raising awareness using methods of Self Organised Learning with e-portfolios
ι Materials are delivered as a „buffet of resources“ rather than a „ready-to-serve meal“ (using a Wiki)
ι Materials are software- and platform independent, focusing on the didactical method and consulting process
ι Materials are self-explanatory and fit for different target groups and sectors
ι Materials are available online (www.mosep.org) or offline (on a DVD).
