EU Supported Other Project, 2013 - 2015
The aim of the project was the development of guidance and
control of occupational qualifications of the auditing personnel to improve the
quality of vocational education, to develop competencies of professionals who
have the role of guidance and supervision at vocational education institutions
and to develop competencies of education staff (administrators and teachers)
working in vocational schools. To achieve these objectives we gave training to
vocational school directors and vice directors about “Education Administration
and Supervision “ and “Communication Skills”. We gave the training “Education
Administration and Supervision” to have efficient guidance and auditing for
vocational education, to have information about the most current research and practices
and to observe different applications. We gave “Communication Skills” training
to solve the possible communication problems between director, vice-principals
and education staff of vocational institutions and to create an area of
confidence between the staff and inspectors. This was one of the very important
objectives in order to enhance the quality of vocational education.
For this purpose, need analysis were done to find out the
obstacles both in the side of inspectors and in the side of vocational
education staff in vocational education institutions, we shared information and
experiences of two partners of the region in vocational education in the field
of pre-school education. A comparative report was prepared and shared.
In the need analysis search, out of this research results,
obstacles were fixed in a guidance book, which included the strategies for
corrective approaches. Pilot training was applied both to the inspectors and
the vocational education staff to check the efficiency. Evaluation of the whole
work valorized via two conferences to the target groups.
Thus, the objectives of the partnership, as indicated in the application form was achieved successfully.
