ETF webinar ‘New ideas for final exams’

Any hope to continue soon? Thanks.

I hear that in most countries schools are closed until the new school year. Are there examples of countries that open the schools for final examinations, both theory and practice? This seems feasible as students can be divided over classes and workshops for safety precautions.

The problem is fixed, people are reconnecting on voiceboxer, we will start soon again

We are back on

We're back...

The platform seemed to have been overloaded

Thanks for everyones patience

English translation is constantly being switched with Russian...

In France it seems that the final assessment is being replaced at least partially by the completion of modules (competence blocks).
80% of completed blocks can give you a diploma

I have the same with the languages

Very sorry participants for all these technical difficulties, hope you can bare with us. In Kazakhstan teaching and assessment are brought on line.

Providers and teachers choose the assessment methods

Finland doesn't have final exams only competence demonstrations for individual modules

Those who are still here with us, may have some questions, please let me know

To all presenters: Will you introduce COVID VET solutions after COVID? Should we all think about introducing certain alternative approaches in order to have something (in the reserve) in the time of crisis. I would really love to see these COVID efforts to be sustainable since all countries obviously invested quite a lot. At the end, hat off to ALL the teachers out there since they pushed themselves to the unknown...

Research topics introduced in Egypt focusing on vocational topics. 80% industrial education, rest for other sectors

Students were generally pleased with this experiment

We will publish all questions here and get answers

On the question from Finland should we share these materials also across countries? What do you think?

If work continues for a given occupation Horacy Debowski says exams should also be possible

Teaching practice is ahead of the assessment practice

Each profession is different

What technologies could we use in assessment

Thank you all for staying with us and please come back here

Thanks for everyone bye for now

There was a question during the webinar on the biggest challenge in Finland in dealing with Covid 19. Main challenges have been in organising work based learning. The obstacles are profession specific. In some professional fields it has been easier to continue arranging work-based learning than in others. For example, the service sector has faced broad restrictions and/or closures of work places due to COVID.

An overall challenge in all levels of education, is the risk of increasing inequality and learning differences. In terms of access to the necessary ICT equipment for home-based learning, there are differences between regions, institutions and individual learners. Municipal- or institution-specific mechanisms are in place for ensuring that all TVET students would be able to learn at home. For example, some institutions are lending computers to students.

The same for Estonia - work based learning. practical emplacement in some sectors (tourism and hospitality were the biggest challenge. In order to help with access with IT equipment, in some cases/schools, laptop/devices were given to to students for home use and also VET school dormitory were kept open for these students who haven't got possibilities from their homes to do the distance learning

I Think, in my Bosnia and Herzegovina chances for return in normal are so weak! But, always stay hope. It is important to be part of international communities and share possibilities!
