Education et Culture Catalogue 2007 - 2008 ____________________________________________________ Studienbesuche für Bildungsexperten und Entscheidungsträger Study visits for education specialists and decision makers Visites d'étude pour spécialistes et décideurs de l'éducation 1 2 INTRODUCTION The study visits, which aim at better information and sensibilisation of education specialists and decision-makers to new developments of the education systems in the countries participating in the action, are facing new expectations and demands. Instead of programmes which are too general or too wide and mixed in their approach, the organisers now tend to offer programmes which are better targeted, or which concentrate on a specific aspect of one of the themes of the programme. For this reason it was decided to issue this 12th edition of the catalogue of study visits for education specialists and decision makers for the 2007 – 2008 programme. The information sheets on the study visits, drafted on the basis of information forwarded by the Member States, the EFTA countries or the new countries which participate in the programme, aim at helping the education specialists to make an appropriate choice. In March 2002, the European Council of Barcelona adopted the detailed work programme on the subject of the “Concrete Future Objectives of Education and Training until 2010”. It is the Commission’s opinion that the study visits programme is really appropriate to implement the objectives as defined by the Ministers. This catalogue refers to the objectives and to activities for exchanging information. An analytical summary is attached to this catalogue. On pages 9 to 13 the reader will find a description of the expected approaches of the visits in relation with the work programme on “Concrete Future Objectives of Education and Training”. * * * Les visites d’étude, qui visent à mieux informer et sensibiliser les spécialistes et décideurs de l’éducation aux nouveaux éléments introduits dans les systèmes éducatifs dans les différents pays qui participent à l’action, sont confrontées à de nouvelles attentes. S’écartant progressivement de programmes trop généraux ou ayant des contenus relevant de plusieurs secteurs, les organisateurs tendent désormais à offrir ces programmes mieux ciblés, ou qui se concentrent sur un aspect particulier d’un des thèmes du programme. C’est pour cette raison que la douzième édition du catalogue des visites d’étude pour spécialistes et décideurs de l’éducation est présentée pour le programme 2007 – 2008. Les fiches d’information sur les visites d’étude, rédigées sur base d’informations fournies par les Etats membres, les pays de l’AELE ainsi que les nouveaux pays participant au programme, ont comme objectif d’aider les spécialistes de l’éducation à mieux orienter et cibler leur candidature. En Mars 2002 le Conseil Européen de Barcelona a adopté le programme de travail détaillé au sujet des “Objectifs Futurs Concrets de l’Education et la Formation d’ici 2010”. La Commission est d’avis que les visites d’étude constituent un programme tout à fait appropriée pour la mise en oeuvre des objectifs définis par les Ministres. Ce catalogue fait référence aux objectifs ainsi qu’aux activités d’échanges d’information. Un résumé analytique se trouve en annexe à ce catalogue. Aux pages 9 à 13 se trouve une description des approches attendues par rapport au programme de travail sur les “Objectifs Futurs Concrets de l’Education et la Formation”. 3 4 EINFÜHRUNG Die Studienbesuche haben zum Ziel, Bildungsexperten und Entscheidungsträger besser zu informieren und zu sensibilisieren. Die Experten sehen sich kontinuierlich mit neuen Erwartungen und Herausforderungen konfrontiert, daher genießt Weiterbildung im Bildungssektor und das Aufzeigen von Entwicklungen in den Bildungssystemen der teilnehmenden Ländern einen hohen Stellenwert. Statt Studienprogrammen, die zu allgemein oder zu breit und uneinheitlich in ihrem Ansatz sind, bieten die Organisatoren nunmehr Programme an, die besser abgestimmt sind und sich nur auf einen spezifischen Aspekt der Themen des Programms beziehen. Aus diesem Grund wurde die 12. Ausgabe des Studienbesuchskatalogs für das Programm 2007 – 2008 veröffentlicht. Der Katalog wurde auf Basis von Informationsmaterial aus den Mitgliedsländern, den EFTA Ländern und den neuen Teilnehmerländer erstellt. Er ermöglicht den Bildungsexperten eine gute und ausgewogene Wahl ihres Studienbesuchs zu treffen. Im Mai 2002 hat der Europäische Rat von Barcelona das detaillierte Arbeitsprogramm „Konkrete zukünftige Ziele der allgemeinen und beruflichen Bildung bis 2010“ verabschiedet. Die Kommission vertritt die Meinung, dass das Studienbesuchsprogramm optimal für die Implementierung dieser Ziele, die von den Ministern definiert wurden, geeignet ist. Der Katalog bezieht sich auf die Ziele und die Intention des Informations- und Erfahrungsaustauschs. Eine analytische Zusammenfassung der Themen ist im Anhang des Katalogs zu finden. Auf den Seiten 9 bis 13 werden die erwarteten Inhalte der Besuche in Bezug auf das Arbeitsprogramm „Konkrete zukünftige Ziele der allgemeinen und beruflichen Bildung“ beschrieben. 5 6 Note for the reader Each information sheet of this catalogue contains the data, which should enable the candidates to choose the study visit which suits them best: the theme, the organiser, the period, the objectives, the programme description, the working language,… Most information sheets also contain the address of the web page of the organiser, thus giving way to more detailed information. Special attention should be paid to the working language. The first language mentioned is the language of the country visited. The second language is the real working language of the study visit. Several organisers also filled out a third language. They would offer linguistic support in this language. This language will thus not be the working language of the programme. Finally, for some study visits the organisers also provide additional linguistic support in another language. It goes without saying that candidates should preferably have a good command of the working language of the study visit, so as to get maximal benefit of their participation in the programme. Avis au lecteur Chaque fiche de ce catalogue contient les données de base que devraient permettre aux candidats de choisir la visite d’étude qui leur convient le mieux: le thème, l’organisateur, la période, les objectifs, une description du programme, les langues de travail, … La majorité des fiches contient également l’adresse de la page web de l’organisateur, ce qui permet d’accéder à davantage d’informations. Les langues de travail méritent une attention particulière. La première langue mentionnée est la langue du pays visité. La deuxième langue est la vraie langue de travail de la visite d’étude. Certains organisateurs ont également rempli une troisième langue. Ils fourniront un support linguistique pour cette langue. Cette troisième langue ne sera donc pas la langue véhiculaire du programme. Enfin, pour quelques visites d’étude, les organisateurs ont prévu un support linguistique pour une autre langue complémentaire. Il va de soi que de préférence les candidats maîtrisent la langue de travail des visites d’étude, afin de tirer le profit maximal de leur participation au programme. Für den Leser Jedes Informationsblatt dieses Katalogs umfasst sämtliche Daten, die es den Kandidaten erlauben, den best geeigneten Studienbesuch auszuwählen: das Thema, den Organisator, den Termin, die Ziele, die Programmbeschreibung, die Arbeitssprache, … Die meisten Informationsblätter beinhalten auch die Internetseite des Organisators, wodurch der Zugang zu detaillierter Information möglich wird. Spezielle Sorgfalt sollte auf die Arbeitssprache gelegt werden. Die erste erwähnte Sprache ist die Landessprache des Studienbesuchorts. Erst die zweite Sprache ist die wirkliche Arbeitssprache. Einige Organisatoren füllen auch die dritte Sprache aus. In dieser Sprache können die Organisatoren sprachliche Unterstützung leisten. Diese Sprache ist allerdings nicht auch Arbeitssprache. In manchen Studienbesuchen stellen die Organisatoren außerdem zusätzliches Unterrichtsmaterial in einer weiteren Fremdsprache zur Verfügung. Es ist selbstverständlich, dass die Kandidaten die erste Arbeitssprache gut beherrschen sollten, um optimal von ihrem Studienaufenthalt zu profitieren. 7 8 LINKING UP WITH THE WORK PROGRAMME OF THE OBJECTIVES REPORT It is quite natural to establish links between the study visits for education specialists and decision makers and the “Work programme on the objectives in education and training up to 2010”. The participants are partners by excellence to exchange experience on good practice for almost all of the 13 objectives. So it is logical that room should be made for this type of exchanges in the programmes of the study visits and to report on this. But of course, the study visits are much more than that. They should continue to be a multilateral learning tool on educational developments throughout Europe, so as to realise the main objectives of this action. 1. Scope The themes of the study visits for education specialists and decision makers aim at studying one or more aspects of the education system of the visited country. For some of the themes there is no reference at all to the Objectives Work Programme. Very often, the scope of the study visit is much wider than what is asked for in the Objectives report, but organisers are invited to pay enough attention to its topics for exchanging experience, whenever possible. 2. Reference to the objectives report and themes for exchanging experience Most of the information sheets on the study visits make a reference to the appropriate objective. Further information on the specific themes for exchanging experience can be found in the table at the end of the catalogue. 3. Inclusion of these themes in the study visits programme The organisers are invited to check if these themes for exchanging experience can be included in their programmes and what attention can be given to them. In most cases, this exercise will enable them to add an extra dimension to their programmes and it is expected that participants exchange information on the situation in their respective countries. 4. Reporting elements It is expected that the reports of participants will contain a specific section referring to the themes for exchanging experience of the Objectives Report. These topics may be discussed throughout the week’s programme and a final format should be discussed during the closing session of the study visit. 9 10 RELIER AVEC LE PROGRAMME DE TRAVAIL DU RAPPORT SUR LES OBJECTIFS Il est tout à fait naturel d'établir des liens entre les visites d'étude pour spécialistes et décideurs de l’éducation et "le programme de travail sur les objectifs de l’éducation et la formation d’ici 2010". Les participants sont des partenaires par excellence pour échanger l'expérience sur la bonne pratique pour presque tous les 13 objectifs. Ainsi, il est logique d’offrir de l’espace pour ce type d'échanges dans les programmes des visites d'étude et de produire des rapports sur cette expérience. Mais évidemment, les visites d'étude sont beaucoup plus que ça. Elles devraient rester un outil d'apprentissage multilatéral sur les développements scolaires dans l'ensemble de l'Europe, afin de réaliser les objectifs principaux de cette action. 1. Objectif Les thèmes des visites d'étude pour s spécialistes et décideurs de l’éducation visent à étudier un ou plusieurs aspects du système d'enseignement du pays visité. Pour quelques-uns des thèmes il n'y a aucune référence du tout au programme de travail sur les objectifs. Très souvent, le champ d'application de la visite d'étude est beaucoup plus large que ce qui est demandé dans le rapport sur les objectifs, mais les organisateurs sont invités à prêter assez d'attention à ses sujets pour échanger l'expérience, autant que possible. 2. La référence au rapport sur les objectifs et les thèmes pour échanger l'expérience La plupart des fiches d'informations sur des visites d'étude font référence aux objectifs appropriés. Des informations complémentaires sur les thèmes spécifiques pour échanger l'expérience peuvent être consultées au tableau à la fin du catalogue. 3. Inclusion de ces thèmes dans le programme de visites d'étude Les organisateurs sont invités à vérifier si ces thèmes pour échanger l'expérience peuvent être inclus dans leurs programmes et quelle attention leur peut être accordée. Dans la plupart des cas, cet exercice leur permettra d'ajouter une dimension supplémentaire à leurs programmes et on s'attend à ce que les participants échangent des informations sur la situation dans leurs pays respectifs. 4. Elements de rapportage On s'attend à ce que les rapports des participants contiennent une section spécifique faisant référence aux thèmes d’échange d'expérience du rapport sur les objectifs. Ces sujets peuvent être examinés au cours de tout le programme de la semaine et un format final devrait être examiné pendant la session de clôture de la visite d'étude. 11 12 VERBINDUNG ZU DEM ARBEITSPROGRAMM DES ZIELBERICHTS Es ist bedeutend, dass Verbindungen zwischen den Studienbesuchen für Bildungsexperten und Entscheidungsträger und dem Arbeitsprogramm „Konkrete zukünftige Ziele der allgemeinen und beruflichen Bildung bis 2010“ geschaffen werden. Die Teilnehmer sind Partner par excellence, um Erfahrungen zu best practice Beispielen betreffs aller 13 Ziele auszutauschen. Daher ist es sehr wichtig, auch den Austausch über diese Studienbesuche zu gewährleisten und darüber zu berichten. Das Hauptziel dieser Aktion ist allerdings, ein multilaterales Lerntool für Bildungssysteme in ganz Europa zu etablieren. 1. Zweck Die Themen der Studienbesuche für Bildungsexperten und Entscheidungsträger haben zum Ziel, ein oder mehr Aspekte des Bildungssystems des besuchten Landes kennen zu lernen. Einige Themen haben überhaupt keinen Bezug zu dem Arbeitsprogramm von Barcelona. Oft ist der Inhalt viel breiter als in dem Zielbericht. Das wichtigste ist allerdings, vor allem den internationalen Erfahrungsaustausch zu fördern. 2. Bezug zu dem Zielbericht und den Themen für den Erfahrungsaustausch Die meisten Informationsblätter enthalten einen Hinweis zu dem entsprechenden Ziel. Weitere Informationen zu den spezifischen Themen für den Erfahrungsaustausch können im Anhang des Katalogs gefunden werden. 3. Einbezug dieser Themen in das Studienbesuchsprogramm Die Organisatoren werden dazu eingeladen, Verknüpfungen zu den Themen für den Erfahrungsaustausch zu ihrem Arbeitsprogramm herzustellen und den Stellenwert dieser festzulegen. In den meisten Fällen, gestattet ihnen diese Vorgangsweise eine extra Dimension in ihrem Programm einzuführen. Die Teilnehmer werden ersucht, ihre Erfahrungen in ihrer Heimat weiterzugeben. 4. Reporting Es wird erwartet, dass die Teilnehmerberichte einen separaten Bereich enthalten, der sich auf die Themen für den Erfahrungsaustausch aus dem Zielbericht beziehen. Diese Inhalte könnten während des Wochenprogramms diskutiert werden und ein Endformat sollte am Ende des Studienbesuchs beschlossen werden. 13 14 Contents Introduction Note for the reader Linking up with the work programme of the Objectives Report Table of contents 03 07 09 15 Theme 1: General study education systems 22 – 52 Theme 2: Certification and assessment Theme 3: Combating illiteracy 53 – 55 Theme 4: ICT in education 56 – 72 Theme 5: Education of disabled pupils 73 – 96 Theme 6: Equal opportunities in education 97–101 Theme 7: Intercultural education 102–104 Theme 8: Measures to prevent school failure 105–120 Theme 9: European dimension in education Theme 10: The teaching profession 140–154 Theme 11: The role of parents 155–157 Theme 12: Language teaching 158–173 Theme 13: Health education 174–175 Theme 14: Environmental education 176–185 Theme 15: The heads of schools 186–191 Theme 16: The school 192–200 Theme 17: The pupils 201–212 Theme 18: Adult education 213–231 Theme 19: Violence and protection of children 232–240 Theme 20: Quality in education 241–270 Theme 23: The role of the inspector 271–272 Theme 25: The curriculum 273 121–139 * * * Linking up themes for education specialists and decision makers with the report on the “Concrete future objectives in education and training” 274–278 Useful addresses 290–300 15 16 Table des matières Introduction Avis au lecteur Relier avec le programme de travail du Rapport sur les Objectifs Table des matières 03 07 11 17 Thème 1: Etude générale des systèmes éducatifs 22 – 52 Thème 2: Certification et évaluation Thème 3: Lutte contre l’analphabétisme 53 – 55 Thème 4: TIC dans l'éducation 56 – 72 Thème 5: Education des enfants handicapés 73 – 96 Thème 6: Egalité des chances en éducation 97–101 Thème 7: Education interculturelle 102–104 Thème 8: Echec scolaire 105–120 Thème 9: Dimension européenne de l'éducation 121–139 Thème 10: La profession de l'enseignant 140–154 Thème 11: Le rôle des parents 155–157 Thème 12: L'enseignement des langues 158–173 Thème 13: L'éducation à la santé 174–175 Thème 14: Education à l'environnement 176–185 Thème 15: Les chefs d'établissement 186–191 Thème 16: Le projet d'établissement 192–200 Thème 17: Les élèves 201–212 Thème 18: Education des adultes 213–231 Thème 19: La violence et la protection des enfants 232–240 Thème 20: La qualité de l'éducation 241–270 Thème 23: Le rôle de l’inspecteur 271–272 Thème 25: Le curriculum 273 * * * Lien entre les thèmes pour spécialistes et décideurs de l'éducation et le “Rapport sur les Objectifs futures concrets de l’Education et de la Formation“ 279–284 Indications utiles 290–300 17 18 Inhaltsverzeichnis Einführung Für den Leser Verbindung zu dem Arbeitsprogramm des Zielberichts Inhaltsverzeichnis 05 07 13 19 Thema 1: Allgemeine Untersuchung der Unterrichtssysteme Thema 2: Notengebung und Beurteilung der Schüler Thema 3: Bekämpfung des Analphabetismus 53 – 55 Thema 4: IKT in der Schule 56 – 72 Thema 5: Eingliederung Jugendlicher mit Behinderung in das Regelschulwesen 73 – 96 Thema 6: Chancengleichheit für Burschen und Mädchen 97–101 Thema 7: Interkulturelle Erziehung 102–104 Thema 8: Maßnahmen zur Verhinderung von Schulversagen 105–120 Thema 9: Einführung der europäischen Dimension 121–139 Thema 10: Die Lehrkräfte 140–154 Thema 11: Die Rolle der Eltern 155–157 Thema 12: Fremdsprachenunterricht 158–173 Thema 13: Gesundheitserziehung 174–175 Thema 14: Umwelterziehung 176–185 Thema 15: Die Schulleiter 186–191 Thema 16: Die Schule 192–200 Thema 17: Die Schüler 201–212 Thema 18: Erwachsenenbildung 213–231 Thema 19: Gewalt und Schutz von Kindern und Jugendlichen 232–240 Thema 20: Bildungsqualität 241–270 Thema 23: Der Schulaufsichtsbeamter 271–272 Thema 25: Das Curriculum 273 * * 22 – 52 * Verbindung der Studienbesuchsthemen zu dem Bericht “Konkrete zukünftige Ziele der allgemeinen und beruflichen Bildung” 285–289 Nützliche Adressen 290–300 19 20 Study visits catalogue 2007-2008 Study visits for education specialists and decision makers Visites d'études pour spécialistes et décideurs de l'éducation Studienbesuche für Bildungsexperten und Entscheidungsträger 13 February 2007 Page 21 of 273 CENTRAL SERVICE EUROPE - Study visits for education specialists www.studyvisits.net Study visits 2007-2008 Visit No: 07001,01 Organiser name: Sonay AKIN Organiser Phone: +903488131013 Type: Vocational/tech. secondary school (EDU 3.2) Organiser Fax: Organiser address: Mustafa Kin Anadolu Meslek ve Kiz Meslek Lisesi +903488131969 Mustafa Kin Anadolu Meslek Organiser Email: ve Kiz Meslek Lisesi KILIS [email protected] Postal Code: 79000 Title: 01,01 - TUR - The vocational schools in Europe and the struggles against literacy of girls Beginning date: 03.09.2007 End Date: 07.09.2007 Languages: Venue: Country: Turkey Country Language Working Language 1 Working Language 2 Turkish English ?

Ceci lui donne plus de souplesse, mais crée un certain nombre de problèmes qui seront débattus en cours de séjour. De plus notre enseignement est organisé par différents pouvoirs qui jouissent tous de la liberté pédagogique, ce qui nécessite un pilotage du système. Enfin, beaucoup d’écoles doivent faire face à des élèves en difficulté et s’adapter à la présence d’un nombre élevé d’élèves issus de l’immigration. Les participants auront l’occasion de visiter des établissements scolaires du niveau primaire, secondaire, supérieur non-universitaire, ainsi qu’une école d’enseignement spécialisé et de rencontrer des responsables du pilotage du système. 13 February 2007 Page 24 of 273 CENTRAL SERVICE EUROPE - Study visits for education specialists www.studyvisits.net Study visits 2007-2008 Visit No: 07001,04 Organiser name: Volkan ATA Organiser Phone: +902125192836-219 Type: Public authority regional (PUB.2) Organiser address: Local Education Authority of ISTANBUL Organiser Fax: +902125268230 il Milli Egitim Mud.

Nr of places: 15 Min required: 5 Description: Obiettivi: Analizzare le trasformazioni socio-culturali e della Scuola in Europa; confrontarsi sulle competenze dirigenziali; conoscere le differenze degli ordinamenti scolastici e dei sistemi educativi; Contenuti: a) Il processo di cambiamento in Europa e in Italia - Ovunque ci si chiede se i sistemi di insegnamento sono in grado di rispondere alle sfide portate dalle trasformazioni del mercato del lavoro e dall’evoluzione scientifica e tecnologica b) il ruolo del Dirigente Scolastico – Rimane aperto il dibattito internazionale sulla messa in luce delle competenze che devono essere assicurate ai Dirigenti scolastici perché siano all’altezza di un’attività essenziale al miglioramento della scuola c) Ordinamenti scolastici a confronto – L’Unione Europea sembra ispirarsi al principio che è più ragionevole accordarsi sul riconoscimento dei diplomi e dei percorsi di studio piuttosto che tentare di standardizzare sistemi educativi la cui disomogeneità rappresenta una ricchezza culturale da preservare. Attività: accoglienza; consegna dispense; seminario; uscite per visite di scuole; visita della Direzione Scolastica Regionale; conferenza stampa con la Rai TV; stampa locale e nazionale; saluto e consegna Attestato di partecipazione. Soggetti: Dirigente del Liceo, Ispettori scolastici, Dirigenti europei. Ulteriore contatto: tel. +39 328 4934319. www.liceoguerrisi.it Aims: To analyse the social, cultural and educational changes in Europe; to compare the executive skills; to become acquainted with the differences of the various educational systems. Contents: a) the process of change in Europe and in Italy – Everywhere people wonder if the systems of teaching are able to face the challenges that derive from the ever changing job market and from the scientific and technologic evolution. b) the role of the Head teacher – The international debate focusing on the skills that Head teachers need to improve their schools is still open c) comparison among the various school systems: the European Union seems to agree with the principle that it is more reasonable to reach an agreement on the acknowledement of the diplomas and of the courses of studies rather than to try to standardize the educational systems whose diversity represents a cultural wealth to be preserved.

Poudariti moramo, da imamo pogosto, kljub nacionalnim razlikam, razlicnosti izobraževalnih sistemov v Evropi, skupne cilje ter podobne probleme. Osredotociti se želimo na evropske izobraževalne prakse izobraževanja gluhih ter poiskati pot k boljši opismenjenosti gluhih, boljšemu znanju nacionalnih jezikov ter nacionalnih znakovnih jezikov. Pricakujemo, da se bo študijskega obiska udeležilo tudi nekaj gluhih oseb, ki se ukvarjajo s tem podrocjem, spremljali pa jih bodo tudi njihovi tolmaci.

The invited participants are trainers, principals and other experts in the field of deaf education and deafness. The organizer is going to present the education of the deaf at all levels: preschool, primary and secondary education and education at the university level. We would like to share our experiences with special schools for the deaf and with the integration of the deaf into regular schools. The second part of the visit is going to consist of the comparison of the educational systems in Slovenia and countries which participants are from.

Es sollen die in Tirol vorhandenen Unterstützungssysteme für Schulen vorgestellt werden (als Diskussionsanregung und zum Austausch von Erfahrungen). Schools may be seen as a reflection of all social themes, but they can also be a pool for social problems.

Reference Objectives Report OBJECTIVE 1.2 :DEVELOPING SKILLS FOR THE KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY: Literacy and numeracy developments; Performance and results in the mother tongue, foreign language and mathematics Nr of places: 15 Min required: 8 Description: Een van de aandachtspunten van de Vlaamse Regering is het verhogen van de geletterdheid van de bevolking. Geletterdheid is veel meer dan ‘kunnen lezen en schrijven’. Het gaat om alle kennis en vaardigheden om via geschreven taal te communiceren en informatie te verwerken (bv. ook omgaan met cijfers, werken met de computer). Het werken aan ‘geletterdheid’ wordt het best verruimd tot het werken aan ‘sleutelcompetenties’ of life skills, namelijk alle basisvaardigheden die volwassenen nodig hebben om breed inzetbaar te zijn op de arbeidsmarkt en om goed te functioneren in het maatschappelijk leven. Trainingen voor geletterdheid en sleutelcompetenties die functioneel ingebed zijn in een technische opleiding of toegepast worden op taken in het bedrijf, leiden tot betere resultaten. Er zal een instrument worden ontwikkeld dat een snelle, diepgaande en systematische screening van de geletterdheid van kansengroepen mogelijk maakt. Op basis daarvan kan worden doorverwezen voor een intensieve opleiding en trajectbegeleiding. Via bezoeken aan het Departement Onderwijs en Vorming aan onderwijsinstellingen, bedrijven, opleidingsinstellingen en gesprekken met ambtenaren, experts, directeurs en leerkrachten wordt een inzicht gegeven in deze thematiek. One of the points of special interest of the Flemish Government is to increase the literacy of the citizens. Literacy is more than “knowing how to read and write”. It’s about all knowledge and skills required to communicate via written language and to assimilate information (for example dealing with figures, working with a computer). Working on ‘literacy’ needs to be broaden to working on ‘key competences’ or ‘life skills’, namely all basic competences adults need to have in order to be employable (in a broad sense) on the labour market and to function well in the society. Training for literacy and key competences which are embedded in a technical education or which are applied in tasks in the company lead to better results. An instrument will be developed to ensure a fast, profound and systematic screening of the literacy of groups at risk. On this basis an intensive training and guidance can be suggested. This theme is clarified during visits to the Education Department and schools, companies, training institutes and through discussions with civil servants, experts, heads of institutions, teachers and trainers www.ond.vlaanderen.be 13 February 2007 Page 55 of 273 CENTRAL SERVICE EUROPE - Study visits for education specialists www.studyvisits.net Study visits 2007-2008 Visit No: 07004,01 Organiser name: Jim Donnelly Organiser Phone: + 44 151 928 4449 Type: Public authority local (PUB.1) Organiser address: Jim Donnelly Organiser Fax: + 44 151 286 6867 Sefton Childrens Service Organiser Email: Town Hall, Bootle [email protected] Liverpool Postal Code: L20 7AE Title: 04,01 - GB - The impact of government ICT expenditure on schools Beginning date: 17.09.2007 End Date: 21.09.2007 Languages: Venue: Sefton, Merseyside Country: United Kingdom Country Language Working Language 1 Working Language 2 English English ?

Reference Objectives Report OBJECTIVE 1.3 :ENSURING ACCESS TO ICT FOR EVERYONE: Quality hardware and software in schools; Use of ICTs; Qualitative assessment of the use of ICT Nr of places: 15 Min required: 8 Description: De dertien doelstellingen van het Europees Doelstellingenrapport zijn voor een groot deel gericht op het verbeteren van de vaardigheden van jongeren en volwassenen. In dit kader moeten de EU-Lidstaten inspanningen leveren om algemene basis- en ICT-vaardigheden te stimuleren. Cruciaal is dat leerlingen leren hoe ze hun leerproces zelf in handen kunnen nemen en over de vaardigheden beschikken om levenslang hun competenties op punt te stellen. In het zelfgestuurd leren speelt ICT een belangrijke rol. Het Vlaamse Ministerie van Onderwijs en Vorming werkte een beleidsplan uit waarin de verschillende initiatieven en projecten rond ICT vanuit een duidelijke visie worden gebundeld. Dat beleid moet de nodige voorwaarden scheppen opdat iedereen de basiscompetenties voor ICT kan verwerven. Deze basiscompetenties voor ICT werden geïntegreerd in de vakoverschrijdende eindtermen en ontwikkelingsdoelen voor het lager onderwijs en de eerste graad secundair onderwijs. Via bezoeken aan het Departement Onderwijs en Vorming, aan scholen en organisaties, gesprekken met ambtenaren, experts, schoolhoofden en leerkrachten wordt een inzicht gegeven in deze thematiek. Centraal in dit bezoek staan de uitwerking van de ICT-competenties en het ondersteunend beleid waaronder initiatieven rond de verspreiding van digitale leermiddelen, open source software en breedbandapplicaties. The thirteen objectives of the ‘Concrete Future Objectives of Education and Training’ are mainly aimed at the improvement of skills of youngsters and adults. In this framework the EU Member States need to put in a great effort to stimulate general basic and ICT competences. Pupils need to learn how to take control of their own learning process and to dispose the skills to adjust their competences during the rest of their lives. ICT plays an important role in this process. The Flemish Ministry of Education and Training worked out a policy plan, starting from a clear vision, in which the different initiatives and projects on ICT were clustered. This policy needs to create the conditions in order for everybody acquiring the basic competences for ICT. These basic competences were integrated in cross-curricular attainment targets and developmental objectives for the primary education and the first grade of the secondary education. This theme is clarified during visits to the Department of Education and Training, schools and organisations, and through discussions with civil servants, experts, head teachers and teachers. Central topics of this visit are the development of ICT-competences and the policy support, including the initiatives on the dissemination of digital teaching materials, open source software and broadband applications. www.ond.vlaanderen.be 13 February 2007 Page 65 of 273 CENTRAL SERVICE EUROPE - Study visits for education specialists www.studyvisits.net Study visits 2007-2008 Visit No: 07004,11 Organiser name: José Juan Domínguez Rodríguez Organiser Phone: +34 956336573 Type: Inst. for in-service teacher training (EDU 8) Organiser Fax: Organiser address: Centro de Profesores de Jerez +34 956324274 Alameda Cristina, 11-2ª planta Organiser Email: Jerez de la Frontera [email protected] Postal Code: 11403 Title: 04,11 - ES - Ensuring access to ICT for everyone Beginning date: 07.04.2008 End Date: 11.04.2008 Languages: Venue: Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz) Country: Spain Country Language Working Language 1 Working Language 2 Spanish English ?

Naše snaha o úplnou zmìnu pojetí výuky u tohoto oboru byla vedena probíhající reformou školského systému v Èesku. Snažíme se naplnit její zámìry, zmìnit systém vzdìlávání v posunu od znalosti ke kompetencím, ve schopnosti najít relevantní informace a zpracovat je ve prospìch probíraného tématu a pøipravit studenty k pøijetí filozofie celoživotního vzdìlávání, napø. formou e-learningu a výchovou k learning management system.

We are authors of curricula for 4 years courses "ICT in Economics" whose main characteristics is using of notebooks connected to the Internet in most subjects and as much as necessary and right in the classwork. Our effort to modify the present conception of classwork was led by educational reforms that are in progress in the Czech Republic. We are working on the accomplishment of these aims, i.e. to change the system of classwork in a shift from knowledge to competences, in ability to search for relevant information and to use it in accordance with the subject matter, and to prepare students to accept lifelong education philosophy by means of e-learning, for example. We would like to do benchmarking and meet methods used at some other schools or educational institutions and thus exchange information on efficiency of chosen approaches and methods. Since our institution is just one of a few secondary schools in the country with such programme, we long for making a comparison in the European context. NET OFFICE Ltd. School, teaching IT, will also be involved (presentation of methods used during classwork of different subjects and workshops, e.g. usage of AutoCad, etc). No less importatnt is the reason to create long-term ties with institutions with similar programmes so that we do not stay isolated in our work. 13 February 2007 Page 70 of 273 CENTRAL SERVICE EUROPE - Study visits for education specialists www.studyvisits.net Study visits 2007-2008 Visit No: 07004,16 Organiser name: Per Jon Olsen Organiser Phone: +4775641455 Type: Public authority regional (PUB.2) Organiser Fax: Organiser address: Regional Competence and Development Office +4775641441 RKK Indre Salten Organiser Email: Box 394 [email protected] Fauske Postal Code: 8201 Title: 04,16 - NO - Education and its tools Beginning date: 02.06.2008 End Date: 06.06.2008 Languages: Venue: Fauske Country: Norway Country Language Working Language 1 Working Language 2 Norwegian English ?

Biskopsgården är en mångkulturell stadsdel med skolundervisning på 35 språk och en varierad bebyggelse. Torslanda är en segregerad stadsdel med få personer av utländsk härkomst. Biskopsgården har sedan många år arbetat med det mångkulturella perspektivet. I Torslanda prioriteras internationellt arbete i skolan men man ser ändå tendenser till rasism växa fram. Nu vill de båda stadsdelarna visa upp vad man kan lära av varandra inom områdena värdegrund, läromiljöer ute och inne, projektering av nya skolor och utveckling av befintliga, rörelse på schemat, kost, lärande för livet, språkutveckling och särskilt stöd.

Now both districts want to show what to learn from each other in the fields of groundwork of a good education, methods for teaching indoors and outdoors, projecting new schools and develop old ones, food, learning for life, educational training and teaching children with special needs. Many other cities in Europe face the same situation with segregation and lack of tolerance. We are looking forward to change experiences with these.

Pur essendo consapevoli che la radice del problema abbia notevoli fattori esterni collegati al contesto socio-economico e culturale della nostra regione, gli operatori della scuola sono indubbiamente chiamati ad analizzare le problematiche strettamente connesse con l’intervento della scuola attraverso il proprio piano dell’offerta formativa, con riguardo particolare all’azione didattica e con la sperimentazione di misure che possano arginare il fenomeno. Noi ci proponiamo quindi di alimentare il dibattito europeo sul tema in oggetto dando voce a tutti i soggetti impegnati in questo settore: l’Irre in quanto istituto di ricerca educativa, le Scuole, l’Università, le Associazioni, gli Enti territoriali. Contenuti del dibattito saranno la ricerca in corso, lo scambio di esperienze, la riflessione sulle buone pratiche didattiche, le scelte in fatto di politiche educative. Pertanto durante la visita di studio verrano organizzati dibattiti, tavole rotonde, seminari, visite alle istituzioni scolastiche, incontri con i rappresentanti degli enti territoriali.www.irre.sardegna.it Le problème de l’échec scolaire dans notre région est fortement ressenti à tous les niveaux scolaires.

Les inégalités sociales se retrouvent naturellemnt à l'école dont le but est de donner les mêmes chances à tous. Comment se manifestent ces inégalités constitue le 1er point le l'étude : comportement au collège et au lycée, absentéisme, accès aux filières d'excellence et taux de réussite aux examens, ambition et poursuite d'études dans l'enseignement supérieur. Quels sont les dispositifs institutionnels pour lutter contre ces inégalités, quelles sont les réponses des lycées et collèges, quelle est leur efficacité ? Des visites d'établissements scolaires du second degré, (collèges, lycées, lycées professionnels) où sont mis en place des dispositifs spécifiques pour des élèves en difficulté ou pour des élèves doués, d'autres visites aux partenaires institutionnels (inspection académique ou région apporteront des éléments de réponse.

Reference Objectives Report Nr of places: 15 Min required: 5 Description: Many teens experince a time when keeping up with school work is difficult. These periods may last several weeks and may include social problems as well as a slide in academic performance. Research suggests that problems are more likely to occur during a transitional year, such as moving from elementary to middle school, or middle school to high school. Some adolescents are able to get through this time with minimal assistance from their parents or teachers. It may be enough for a parent to be available simply to listen and suggest coping strategies, provide a supportive home environment, and encourage the child’s participation in school activities. However, when the difficulties last longer than a single grading period, or are linked to a long-term pattern of poor school performance or behaviour problems, parents and teachers need to interevene. As a result, we are planning to find out how to overcome the school failure by the help of some academicians from European countries. The province of Karaman is located to the South of central Anatolian Region and is between Konya-Icel-Antalya provinces. The province is a major commerce, culture and art center.

Comme toutes les régions du monde, la partie européenne de l'Europe est confrontée à de fortes turbulences démographiques. Les enjeux géopolitiques influencent le lien social. Il s'agit de rendre possible la vie entre des communautés qui n'ont pas forcément l'habitude de vivre ensemble sur le même territoire. L'éducation des jeunes soumis à des mobilités parfois contraintes mérite une attention particulière qui passe fréquemment par la maîtrise d'outils et de pratiques pédagogiques qu'il semble utile de confronter entre des acteurs soumis aux mêmes impératifs dans des contextes différents mais concernant souvent des publics de même origine spatiale (on pense en particulier ici aux Roumains et aux Maghrébins). Une conférence introductive posera la problématique de la visite et présentera l'état de la question. On confrontera alors les solutions apportées dans chaque pays présent, on dégagera les points les plus importants (exposé de chacun des participants pour chaque pays). On recevra alors une information théorique de l'état de ces questions dans le domaine de la recherche. Des rencontres et des visites permettront de procéder à des analyses de pratiques actuelles et à se projeter dans l'avenir sous forme de rapports collectif et individuels. Como en todas las regiones del mundo, la parte meridional de Europa se halla confrentada hoy con fuertes turbulencias demográficas. Los intereses geopolíticos se repercuten en el vínculo social. Se trata de hacer posible la vida entre comunidades que no suelen obligatoriamente vivir juntas en el mismo territorio. La Educación de jóvenes sometidos a mobilidades a veces forzadas, merece un cuido especial lo cual pasa a menudo por el dominio de herramientas y de prácticas pedagógicas que parecen útiles de ser confrentadas entre actores sometidos a las mismas necesidades en contextos diferentes pero relacionados, a menudo, con públicos de mismo orígen espacial ( se alude en particular aquí a los rumanos y a los magrebíes). Una conferencia introductiva planteará la problemática de la visita y presentará el estado de la cuestión. Se confrentarán entonces, las soluciones aportadas en cada país presente; se destacarán los elementos más importantes (ponencia de cada participante para cada país). Se recibirá entonces una información teórica del estado de esos temas por investigadores universitarios. Encuentros y visitas permitirán el paso a análisis de prácticas actuales y proyecciones futuras. Las perspectivas de asociaciones se podrán pues articular en torno a prácticas acertadas. 13 February 2007 Page 114 of 273 CENTRAL SERVICE EUROPE - Study visits for education specialists www.studyvisits.net Study visits 2007-2008 Visit No: 07008,11 Organiser name: Claudia Lázaro Organiser Phone: +34 942208012 Type: Public authority regional (PUB.2) Organiser address: Consejería de Educación de Cantabria Organiser Fax: Vargas, 53. 5º +34 942207504 Organiser Email: SANTANDER [email protected] Postal Code: 39010 Title: 08,11 - ES - Prevention of school failure Beginning date: 31.03.2008 End Date: 04.04.2008 Languages: Venue: SANTANDER Country: Spain Country Language Working Language 1 Working Language 2 Spanish English ?

Raskused ilmnevad juba II-III kooliastmes. Kooli ülesanne on toetada neid õpilasi, kellel on õpi- ja käitumisraskused. Kohtla- Järve Ühisgümnaasiumis ja Iisaku Gümnaasiumis on leitud lahendus, kuidas aidata neid lapsi - loodud on nn.Tootsi klass, õpilaskodu. Sellistele lastele on välja töötatud pedagoogide ja spetsialistide abil eriprogramm (hindamine, õppekava), mis võimaldab tunda end inimväärsena ning saada haridus, mis kindlustab parema tuleviku. Õppelähetuse eesmärgiks on oma kogemuste tutvustamine, teiste samalaadse töö tundmaõppimine ning üheskoos uute lahenduste otsimine. Unfortunately there are still children who have not found suitable abilities or enough motivation to cape individually with demanding studying conditions. Difficulties appear already in the basic school. The task of the school is to support the children having studying difficulties and problems with their behaviour. Kohtla-Järve Gymnasium and Iisaku Gymnasium have found a solution to help these children. A special learning method called „Tootsi class“ has been formed for them. Thanks to teachers the special studying programme is made (involving assessment and curriculum) wihich allows these children to gain education that will be necessary for their better future. The purpose of exchanging experiences is to get to know how to work with these problems and how to find new solutions. www.kjug.edu.ee 13 February 2007 Page 117 of 273 CENTRAL SERVICE EUROPE - Study visits for education specialists www.studyvisits.net Study visits 2007-2008 Visit No: 07008,14 Organiser name: Ana Xavier Organiser Phone: ++351 225 191 100 Type: Public authority regional (PUB.2) Organiser address: Direcção Regional de Educação do Norte Organiser Fax: Rua António Carneiro, 8 ++351 225 191 123 Organiser Email: Porto [email protected] Postal Code: 4349003 Title: 08,14 - PT - New opportunities in education Beginning date: 05.05.2008 End Date: 09.05.2008 Languages: Venue: Porto e zona norte de Portugal Country: Portugal Country Language Working Language 1 Working Language 2 Portuguese English ?

Parental involvement in child’s life and learning remains as being one of the major determinants of success in the education of children. Especially when parental involvement takes an active form the results are optimal. It is well-known that those children whose parents are involved at their schooling perform better educationally and are at lower risk of involving in the problem behavior which interferes both with their learning outcomes and personal well being. There are variety of ways parents and school can work together to promote the well-being and educational outcomes of students though there might also be considerable challenges and difficultes in terms of establishing and maintaining such an active communication and partnership. In this Arion study visit we are aiming at discussing parent school re4lations , oarental participation in children’s schooling , ways of overcoming possible obstacles that may prevent parental involvement , training courses for parents that may inform them and encourage their active participation in children’s schooling and sharing variety of good practices. Information on the family and parenting in different cultures will be shared along with the general education system of each country.

Reference Objectives Report OBJECTIVE 3.1 : STRENGTHENING THE LINKS WITH WORKING LIFE AND RESEARCH, AND SOCIETY AT LARGE: Participation of parents in school life and in children's learning in general Nr of places: 15 Min required: 5 Description: Parents play an important role in children’s school life. This is a well-known fact, but often parents are more concerned with the general well-being of their children during school life than with directly supporting the learning of the child. The obligation to give your children the best opportunities by strengthening their learning processes is non-formal. Therefore it is important to know how schools may support parents’ active participation in their children’s school life. During the study visit, you will get an insight into the role of parents in the school system in Denmark in general and knowledge about initiatives taken by the National Association of Schoolparents. The National Association of Schoolparents supports and develops courses and materials both for parent representatives on school boards (Folkeskole) and for schoolparents in general. There will be visits to Copenhagen and other local school authorities, The National Association of Schoolparents and to schools. www.uvm.dk; www.kl.dk; www.skole-samfund.dk 13 February 2007 Page 156 of 273 CENTRAL SERVICE EUROPE - Study visits for education specialists www.studyvisits.net Study visits 2007-2008 Visit No: 07011,03 Organiser name: Abdullah ERAVCI (GSM:+90 (0) 505 386 9847) Organiser Phone: +90 (0) 368 3153644 Type: Vocational secondary school (EDU 3.2.1) Organiser address: Boyabat Kız Meslek Lisesi ve Boyabat İlçe Organiser Fax: Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğü +90 (0) 368 3151869 Organiser Email: Boyabat/SİNOP [email protected];[email protected] Postal Code: 90 57200- Title: 11,03 - TUR - Co-operation between school and family on school development Beginning date: 26.05.2008 End Date: 30.05.2008 Languages: Venue: Boyabat/SİNOP Country: Turkey Country Language Working Language 1 Working Language 2 Turkish English ?

Reference Objectives Report OBJECTIVE 3.3 : IMPROVING FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING: Methods and ways of organising the teaching of languages Early language learning Ways of promoting the learning of foreign languages Nr of places: 20 Min required: 10 Description: Ministry of Education of Turkey, Directorate of Secondary Education has been running a coursebook writing project for 4 years. The aim of this project is to prepare the English coursebooks of Anadolu Lycee. Anadolu Lycee is one of the many types of high schools which require an exam for entrance when students complete the 8th grade. The authors of the project are English teachers with a long term experience and competent profile. The coursebooks writing initiative is based on the belief that coursebook should be designed by local teachers who have got a class experience, cultural and social background of the country/students. On the other hand, authors are also supposed to grasp the global culture and the soul of the country where the target language is spoken. Since the beginning of this project in 2003, the team of the authors has managed to write and publish four coursebooks with their supplementary materials. Today, we would like to share this valuable experience with specialists and experts who are engaged with material development since we think that this is one of the several precious projects all across Europe. We also would like to exchange ideas and share knowledge across cultures and discuss how to reflect the European dimension into the coursebooks in our dreams. Our ultimate goal is to seek cooperation between coursebook writing and curriculum development projects and set up joint initiatives. The study visit will take place in Izmir which is located in the very west of Turkey by the Aegean Sea. Our guests will have the opportunity to study our project, learn about Turkish education system, foreign language teaching system, the culture and the history in details as well as experiencing Izmir, which reflects the harmony of west and east with the magnificent historical sites such as Ephesus and Pergamon nearby.

Reference Objectives Report Nr of places: 14 Min required: 7 Description: West Sussex, on England’s south coast, is a mosaic of city settlement, traditional English countryside and outstanding coastal habitats. Our children are exposed to many different environmental issues, not only through school and television, but also in their every day lives. For example, children now spend longer in traffic queues on the way to school, and winter storms increasingly threaten homes on the coast. Scientists and politicians urge us to address environmental issues but persuading ordinary people to change their way of life is a challenge. This visit will focus on how pupils must love their environment if they are to learn effectively. Both are essential if children are to choose to live in a more sustainable way now and in later life. We will look at environmental and sustainability education. We wish to share best practice as we explore ways in which children, teachers, whole schools, and decision makers respond to urgent environmental issues. Together, hosts and participants will develop a deeper understanding of ways in which effective learning (and perhaps change) can be made to happen. www.chiuni.ac.uk 13 February 2007 Page 183 of 273 CENTRAL SERVICE EUROPE - Study visits for education specialists www.studyvisits.net Study visits 2007-2008 Visit No: 07014,09 Organiser name: Yanka Georgieva Shurelova Organiser Phone: +359 56 813252 Type: Public authority regional (PUB.2) Organiser address: Regional Inspectorate of Education - Burgas Organiser Fax: 150, Gladstone str. +359 56 813259 Organiser Email: Bourgas [email protected];YANA_SHURELOVA Postal Code: BG 8000 Title: 14,09 - BG - The Environmental Education in Bulgaria Beginning date: 19.05.2008 End Date: 23.05.2008 Languages: Venue: Bourgas Country: Bulgaria Country Language Working Language 1 Working Language 2 Bulgarian English French Reference Objectives Report Nr of places: 15 Min required: 6 Description: Participants will visit the Regional Inspectorate of Education and Burgas Municipality for a presentation of the Bulgarian educational system, the state educational requirements for environmental education, the projects „Ecoschools-Bulgaria”, “Green Burgas”, “Burgas wet zone”, “Bulgarian blue flag”, etc. The study visits will include observation of lessons in different subjects with an ecological context in and out of schools.

Detta är särskilt viktigt eftersom de kommunala skolorna nu har fått konkurrens av fristående skolor. Våra rektorers lärande och utveckling är i fokus och vi arbetar i den lärande organisationens anda. Rektorerna får kontinuerligt stöd i sitt arbete som pedagogiska ledare. Vi har ett utbildningsprogram i flera steg för dels nya rektorer men också för de blivande. Alla rektorer, även de erfarna, deltar i regelbundna rektorskonferenser och ledardagar. Då har vi föreläsningar och seminarier. Rektorerna bjuder på goda exempel men också på ett och annat misslyckande. Samtalsledare möjliggör arbete i smågrupper. Vissa satsningar sker i samarbete med Luleå tekniska universitet och Centrum för skolledarutveckling vid Umeå universitet. En särskild utvecklingsenhet stödjer och handleder rektorerna. Frågor som kan ställas är: Vilka skolledare vill kommunen ha? Vad säger styrdokumenten? Vad säger forskningen? Hur kan en kommun/arbetsgivare med hjälp av olika insatser utveckla framgångsrika skolledare? Hur lyckas samarbetet med universiteten? Programmet består av föreläsningar, seminarier, studiebesök och eget arbete. Deltagarna möter skolledare och politiker från Luleå samt olika skolforskare. Deltagarna gör också olika utflykter och får ta del av Norrbottens vackra natur och intressanta kultur. The school board in Luleå has proclaimed the importance of leadership for schools. It´s extra important these days when public schools compete with independent schools. The principals learning and development are the focus and everybody work together in a learning organisation.

Auf eine gemeinsame Initiative von Kultusministerium und Vertretern der Wirtschaft hin entstand das Modellprojekt MODUS21, dessen Grundthese war, dass mehr Selbständigkeit und Eigenverantwortung auch die fachliche und pädagogische Qualität von Schulen steigern kann. An insgesamt 44 bayerischen Schulen wurde daher nicht nur erprobt, sondern gleichzeitig auch prozessbegleitend evaluiert, inwieweit bereits vorhandene gesetzliche Spielräume besser genutzt und möglicherweise noch erweitert werden können. Die thematischen Schwerpunkte reichten dabei von der Qualität von Unterricht und Erziehung über Personalmanagement und Personalführung bis hin zu inner- und außerschulischen Partnerschaften und der Verantwortung für das Schulbudget. Vor diesem Hintergrund bietet das Seminar mit Besuchen von Schulen und anderen Institutionen des bayerischen Bildungswesens einen Überblick über die konkreten Maßnahmen im Rahmen des Modellversuchs MODUS21und zeigt darüber hinaus, wie diese innovativen Impulse mittlerweile auch flächendeckend wirksam geworden sind. The results of the comparative survey PISA represent a turning point in German educational policy to which the federal German state of Bavaria has also responded with a variety of measures. The Bavarian Ministry of Education and leading representatives of industry have joined forces and initiated the pilot project MODUS21, which is based on the assumption that more independence and individual responsibility will enable schools to increase their professional and pedagogical quality. The assumption that the already existing legal scope can be used more efficiently and possibly even extended within the educational system was put to the test and simultaneously evaluated at 44 Bavarian schools. Here a wide range of areas was assessed: the professional and the pedagogical competence of the teaching staff, the personnel management of the principals, internal teamwork, cooperative partnerships with other schools as well as the management of the school budget. Against this background, the seminar offers an overview of the measures adopted within the pilot project MODUS21 by offering an opportunity to visit Bavarian schools and other educational institutions. Moreover, it endeavours to show which other innovative impulses have meanwhile become effective all over the federal state. 13 February 2007 Page 198 of 273 CENTRAL SERVICE EUROPE - Study visits for education specialists www.studyvisits.net Study visits 2007-2008 Visit No: 07016,08 Organiser name: Anna Ru³ka-Jab³czyñska , Izabela Stolf Organiser Phone: + 48 54 2338163 Type: Primary school (EDU.2) Organiser address: Szkola Podstawowa Nr 2 we Wloclawku Organiser Fax: ul.

Ello ha sido debido, entre otros factores, a un rápido proceso de modernización y desarrollo económico. Asimismo, ha tenido lugar un cambio en la estructura social, debido fundamentalmente a los procesos inmigratorios. Como consecuencia, el sistema educativo ha tenido que dar una respuesta inmediata, a través de la Atención a la Diversidad, como instrumento integrador de los procesos interculturales en la escuela. En función de esta realidad se visitará la Unidad Gestora, donde se expondrán los fundamentos teóricos y se visitarán los centros y servicios educativos donde se podrá comprobar in situ la dinámica escolar, manteniendo a su vez encuentros de trabajo con los profesionales. Para ello está previsto mostrar la intervención educativa en los modelos dirigidos a tres tipos de alumnado: 1- Alumnado extranjero, 2Alumnado con fuerte retraso curricular y en situaciones de desventaja sociocultural y 3- Alumnado enfermo o convaleciente. Igualmente se expondrá en uno de los centros visitados (IES) la dimensión europea presente en el currículo de las asignaturas impartidas. Están programadas visitas a centros de Madrid Capital y de otras localidades que puedan mostrar, a la vez, la diversidad regional existente en la Comunidad de Madrid. También se realizarán visitas culturales. Madrid society has changed quickly in a short time. The main factor for this change has been a fast modernization and the economic development process. Social structure has also changed because of immigration. Therefore, the educational system must give an immediate answer by paying attention to diversity, an inclusion instrument of intercultural processes in the school. According to this reality we will visit the Management Unit, where theoretical bases will be explained. Educational centres and services will be visited too. Working meeting with the professionals will take place there and, at the same time, we will have a chance to observe school dynamics in situ. Educational action will be shown through patterns specifically designed for three types of pupils: 1. Foreign pupils, 2. Pupils with strong curricular failure and socially and culturally disadvantaged pupils, 3. Sick pupils. Participants will have the opportunity to see how the European dimension has been introduced into particular subject areas in a Secondary school and will visit different education centres in the capital city and in the region, that show the diversity of Madrid.

La région de MOULINS est située au centre de la France, dans une zone rurale possédant un patrimoine historique riche, lieu d’origine de l’ancienne famille royale des Bourbons. Cette région, agricole, viticole, partiellement industrialisée, écartelée entre plusieurs villes et traversée par des grands axes routiers retient peu sa population. Les élèves s’orientent plus qu’en zone urbaine vers des études courtes, à finalités professionnelles.

Ces questions seront étudiées dans le cadre de conférences, rencontres et de visites de pôles de formations et d’entreprises. 15 personnes maximum. http://www3.ac-clermont.fr/etabliss/Stpourcain The Moulins district lies in the centre of France, in a rural area. Being the place where the old Bourbon royal Family originated, it has a rich historical heritage. The agricultural, wine-growing, partly industrialized area which is torn between several towns and crossed by major roads, has fewer and fewer inhabitants. More than in urban areas, the pupils there tend to prefer short studies and vocational training. In that context, three questions will be dealt with : 1) Adult training : life-long training ? 2) How to validate adult training ? 3) From training validation to regnition on a European Level? All these points shall be examined during conferences, meetings and visits training centers and factories.

The focus is mainly on basic skills and the pupil's codetermination in the process of learning. The main goal is to adapt the learning process to every pupil's abilities and qualifications and therefore we must examine pupil's learning styles in order to implement at most their own skills. The new role of the contact teachers requires that he or she is more an adviser. The course will give an introduction to how we can organize for pupils' process of learning at several levels in order to prevent school failure. We will present different examples of entrepreneurship in education, participation of local representatives in school life and making learning more attractive. Después de la reforma escolar (L-06) de la educación en Noruega las exigencias sobre lo que se aprende, de cómo se aprende y la documentación de dicho aprendizaje están cada vez mas presentes. La atención se ha dirigido mucho más hacia las destrezas básicas del alumno y la codeterminación del alumno en el proceso del aprendizaje. Se exige que la ensênanza se adapte a las cualificaciones y abilidades de cada alumno. Por lo tanto el nuevo rol del profesor es el de mentor/consejero. Este curso pretende dar una introducción de cómo se puede organizar y adaptar el aprendizaje de los alumnos de diferentes niveles para prevenir el absentismo escolar.

Nr of places: 15 Min required: 6 Description: In recent years schools and colleges across the United Kingdom have made increasing use of self-evaluation as well as external inspection to identify strengths and weaknesses. This has allowed school leaders, teachers, students and parents to become increasingly pro-active in developing strategies and action plans for addressing particular difficulties and raising standards in general. During this seminar, participants will visit primary, secondary and tertiary educational establishments in Lincolnshire and hear from practitioners who are using self-evaluation. The main focus will be on how self-evaluation is used to improve teaching and learning in the classroom. Participants will leave equipped with exemplar materials which can be adopted for their own needs www.christs-hospital.lincs.sch.uk En los últimos años, los colegios e institutos del Reino Unido han comenzado a hacer un uso mayor de las autoevalucaciones, así como de las inspecciones externas con el objeto de identificar sus puntos débiles y fuertes. Esto ha permitido que los directivos de los colegios, los profesores, alumnos y padres participen más activamente en el desarrollo de estrategias y planes de acción para tratar determinadas dificultades y, en general, mejorar sus estándares. Durante este seminario, los participantes visitarán centros de educación primaria, secundaria y de educación superior en Lincolnshire. Asimismo, escucharán a profesionales que utililizan actualmente las autoevaluaciones.

Nr of places: 12 Min required: 6 Description: ALP är ett samarbete mellan tre grannkommuner i Västsverige: Alingsås, Lerum och Partille. Samarbetet syftar till att öka kvaliteten inom skola och barnomsorg. Lärare och ledare lär med och av varandra när de använder varandras olika perspektiv och låter sina vardagserfarenheter utmanas. De gör ”lärande besök”, vilket innebär att pedagoger och ledare från en kommun besöker en enhet i grannkommunen, gör besök hos pedagogerna i deras verksamhet med efterföljande samtal där man tillsammans analyserar och försöker se mönster. Samarbetet som startade i projektform har blivit mycket framgångsrikt där vi ser konkreta kvalitetsförbättringar i undervisningen. ALP är nu en permanent verksamhet som har rönt stort intresse bland andra kommuner i Sverige. Under veckan kommer deltagarna i studiebesöket att delta som observatörer under ”lärande besök” i förskolor, grundskolor och gymnasier. Vi kommer att samtala med lärare och skolledare om kvalitetsutveckling och utvärderingsarbete inom ramen för det svenska skolsystemet. Vi ser fram emot intressanta diskussioner med de europeiska deltagarna om hur man kan förbättra kvaliteten i undervisningen. Vi vänder oss till alla som är intresserade av kvalitetsutveckling och metoder för utvärdering. ALP is a cooperation network between three neighbouring municipalities in the Western Sweden: Alingsås, Lerum and Partille. The cooperation aims to improve the quality of teaching in schools and child-care. Teachers and decisions makers learn from eachother when they put different perspectives and different experiences to use. They perform “learning visits” which can be explained as visits where teachers and decision makers go to schools in the other municipalities and observe the activities in the classroom. Afterwords they have a discussion where they analyse and search for patterns together with the teacher. The cooperation that started as a project has been very succesful and has shown significant results in the quality of the education. ALP is now an integrated part of the activity in the three municipalities and it has received great attention among other municipalities of Sweden. During the study visit the guests will participate as observers during “learning visits” in primary, seconday and upper secondary school. We will discuss with teachers and headmasters about evaluation and quality improvement in the frame of the swedish educational system. We look forward to interesting discussions with the European participants on different methods on how to improve the quality of education. The target group for this study visit is anyone interested in quality development and methods for evaluation. www.alp-projektet.nu; www.alingsas.se 13 February 2007 Page 244 of 273 CENTRAL SERVICE EUROPE - Study visits for education specialists www.studyvisits.net Study visits 2007-2008 Visit No: 07020,05 Organiser name: TOUZEAU Christian Organiser Phone: 00 33 5 46 74 28 30 Type: General secondary school (EDU 3.1) Organiser address: Collège Edgar QUINET Organiser Fax: 2, Cours de l'Europe 00 33 5 46 93 52 87 Organiser Email: SAINTES [email protected] Postal Code: F-17100 Title: 20,05 - FR - La prise en compte de la qualité dans la conduite pédagogique des établissements d'enseignement : comparaisons internationales Beginning date: 22.10.2007 End Date: 26.10.2007 Languages: Venue: ROYAN et SAINTES (Région de Poitou-Charentes) Country: France Country Language Working Language 1 Working Language 2 French English French Reference Objectives Report OBJECTIF 1.5 : Optimiser l'utilisation des ressources: auto-évaluation dans le but d'améliorer la qualité de l'enseignement prodigué; dépenses publiques et privées consacrées à l'éducation (indicateur structurel) Nr of places: 10 Min required: 6 Description: La démarche Qualité dans le fonctionnement d'un établissement est souvent implicite. Le projet est de l'expliciter en étudiant et en comparant ensemble les possibilités d'amélioration continue de la gestion de nos établissements d'enseignement. La démarche proposée est de partir de problématiques qualité observées dans différents types d'établissement (écoles, collège, lycée général et professionnel, établissement d'enseignement adapté) sous l'angle des infrastructures, de la sécurité, de l'environnement et du management. Quelle qualité du cadre de vie et de travail pour les élèves ? Comment mettre en œuvre les exigences de la sécurité ? Comment faire partager par les personnels et les élèves la démarche qualité dans une optique de développement durable ? Comment optimiser la gestion des ressources mises à la disposition des établissements ? Comment peut-on orienter au mieux les élèves vers des formations et vers le monde du travail ? Target audience : principal/head, trainers, educative responsibles. The manner in which Quality is created in an establishment is often implicit. Our aim is to establish this process through study and by comparing different examples so as to improve the management of our various educational establishments. We will begin by considering the different problems of quality found in the different types of establishments (primary and secondary schools, institutions for general and vocational education, special education), for example : premises, security, environment and management. a/ What is the quality of the environment and how are the working conditions with regards to the pupils ? b/ How can the security requirements best be implemented ? c/ How can staff and pupils be involved in creating quality as a long term aim ? d/ How can we best manage the resources available to the establishments ? e/ How can we best direct the pupils towards formation and towards work ? We need to identify the points of convergence between the different (represented) educational systems and to clarify those elements that prevent the creation of a management system based on quality alone. 13 February 2007 Page 245 of 273 CENTRAL SERVICE EUROPE - Study visits for education specialists www.studyvisits.net Study visits 2007-2008 Visit No: 07020,06 Organiser name: Metin CAKIR Organiser Phone: +90 312 413 16 54 Type: Public authority national (PUB.3) Organiser address: The Ministery Of National Education Organiser Fax: +90 312 417 14 37 Il Milli Egitim Mudurlugu Organiser Email: ANTALYA [email protected] Postal Code: 07100 Title: 20,06 - TUR - Improving quality in education thruogh self-evaulation Beginning date: 22.10.2007 End Date: 26.10.2007 Languages: Venue: Antalya Country: Turkey Country Language Working Language 1 Working Language 2 Turkish English French Reference Objectives Report OBJECTIVE 1.5 : MAKING THE BEST USE OF RESOURCES: Self-evaluation to improve the quality of education provided Public and private expenditure on education (structural indicator).

In diesem Zusammenhang ergab sich auch die Frage, ob und in welchem Maße europäische Zusammenarbeit die Schulqualität beeinflussen kann. Diese Frage wollen wir durch Erfahrungsaustausch der Teilnehmer/innen, durch Schulbesuche und Gespräche mit ortsansässigen Bildungsfachleuten beantworten. Das Ergebnis ist offen. Anhand konkreter Beispiele (Schulpartnerschaften, COMENIUS-Projekte, Lehreraustausch usw.) werden Anregungen für verschiedene Formen europäischer Kooperation gegeben. Eingeladen sind insbesondere Vertreter/innen aller Schulformen und Bildungsfachleute, die Erfahrungen mit oder Interesse an europäischer Zusammenarbeit haben.

Une des spécificités française est de savoir organiser l'accompagnement scolaire de la pratique sportive individuelle, dans le cadre du sport amateur et professionnel, à travers la notion de sections sport études. L'objectif du stage est donc d'offrir une meilleure compréhension de l'articulation entre études et sport à l'intérieur du système scolaire français. C'est à partir des réalités du Lycée Le Mans Sud (150 élèves sportifs, 8 sections) que seront abordés les points suivants : 1. la pratique du sport à l'école; 2. l'organisation de la scolarité des élèves sportifs : gestion administrative et coordination de la scolarité des sportifs; 3. l'intégration des élèves sportifs étrangers et les dispositifs de remise à niveau scolaire; 4. les rapports entre les sports amateur et professionnel et leurs besoins respectifs; 5. le temps extra-scolaire pour ces élèves en sport études; 6. les interactions valorisantes entre le sport (sportifs et structures) et les études; Types d'activités : intervention de personnels de l'Education Nationale et d'intervenants extérieurs impliqués dans l'élaboration et l'application des cursus; visite de clubs sportifs renommés; visite d'autres établissements de formation (collèges et université); assistance aux entraînement et, si possible, aux compétitions. Les traductions seront assurées par les enseignants des langues concernées de l'établissement. www.lemanssud Le Mans Sud High School is eager to offer the best understanding of how studies and the pratice of a sport at a high level can be articulated within the French Educationnal System. Therefore, specialists will inform you and deal with the following questions : the practice of sports at school; how the education of sports students is organized ; the integration of foreign students ; the up-to standarts courses; and the valuable interactions between sports and our scholl. These will also be illustrated with visits to sports clubs and training courses. Translations will be provided in English and German. www.lemanssud 13 February 2007 Page 273 of 273 CENTRAL SERVICE EUROPE - Study visits for education specialists www.studyvisits.net Linking up themes for education specialists and decision makers with the “Report on the Concrete Future Objectives in Education and Training” In the following table, the point of departure is the list of existing study visit themes. The assumption is that this list remains valid, since the themes where either approved or requested by the participating countries. The next step was to weight these themes against the 13 objectives of the objectives report, and the possible themes for exchanging experience. This leads to the following conclusions: ¾ There is a high degree of convergence between the existing list of study visit themes and the 13 objectives. ¾ For 10 themes, there is no identifiable corresponding objective. Obviously, the reason for this is that the nature of these themes is quite topical as for example education statistics. ¾ For 4 objectives, there is no corresponding study visit theme. The reason for this is that these objectives do not fit in the framework of the existing scheme, either because they primarily deal with vocational training (objective 3.2) or that their scope is very general (Objectives 2.2, 3.4 and 3.5). ¾ For all themes, the number of topics for exchanging experience is much higher than the ones mentioned in the objectives report. This must of course be highlighted in our communication with the partners involved, otherwise the outcome of the study visits would become poorer. 274 Theme Arion themes 1. General study of education systems and evaluation of education systems Reference « Concrete future objectives » Themes for exchanging experience OBJECTIVE 1.2 : Developing skills for the knowledge society ¾ Literacy and numeracy developments in schools and in provision for adults ¾ Performance and results in the mother tongue, foreign language and mathematics up to the end of compulsory education ¾ Self-evaluation to improve the quality of education provided ¾ Public and private expenditure on education (structural indicator) OBJECTIVE 1.5 : Making the best use of resources 2.

On considère que cette liste reste valide, puisque tous les thèmes sont approuvés par le Conseil ou par les Etats membres individuels. L’étape suivante était de comparer ces thèmes avec les 13 objectifs du “rapport sur les objectifs” et avec les thèmes possibles pour l’échange d’expériences contenus dans celui-ci. Ceci nous amène aux conclusions suivantes: ¾ Il y a un grand degré de convergence entre la liste des thèmes et les 13 objectifs. ¾ Pour 10 des thèmes il n’y a pas un objectif correspondant. En l’occurrence, il s’agit là de thèmes très spécifiques (éducation d’enfants migrants et tsiganes, statistiques de l’éducation, etc…) ¾ Pour 4 des objectifs, il n’y pas de thème correspondant. La raison est que ces objectifs n’ont pas de lien avec cette action, parce qu’il s’agit de sujets liés à la formation professionnelle (objectif 3.2.), ou bien qu’ils soient d’une nature très générale (objectifs 2.2, 3.4 et 3.5). ¾ Pour tous les thèmes, le nombre de sujets pour l’échange d’expérience est beaucoup plus élevé que ceux mentionnés dans le rapport sur les objectifs. Ceci doit être mis au clair dans nos contacts avec les partenaires concernés, pour éviter que le résultat des visites d’étude diminue. 279 Thème Thèmes Arion 1.

Es liegt die Annahme zugrunde, dass diese Liste weiterhin gültig ist, da diese Themen weiterhin von den teilnehmenden Ländern bestätigt und nachgefragt wurden. Der nächste Schritt war die Gewichtung dieser Themen im Bezug auf die 13 Ziele des Zielberichts und die Festlegung der möglichen Themen für den Erfahrungsaustausch. Diese Vorgehensweise führt zu den nachfolgenden Schlussfolgerungen: ¾ Es besteht einer hoher Grad der Übereinstimmung zwischen der bereits bestehenden Liste von Themen und den 13 Zielen. ¾ Für 10 Themen gibt es kein eindeutig entsprechendes Ziel. Diese Tatsache resultiert aus der sehr engen inhaltlichen Natur dieser Themen wie beispielsweise das Thema Bildungsstatistik. ¾ Für 4 Ziele gibt es kein entsprechendes Thema. Der Grund liegt darin, dass diese Ziele nicht in den Rahmen des existierenden Schemas fallen, entweder weil sie hauptsächlich mit beruflicher Ausbildung (Ziel 3.2) zu tun haben oder weil sie zu allgemein gehalten sind (Ziele 2.2, 3.4, 3.5). ¾ Für alle Themen des Schemas, ist die Anzahl der Themen für den Erfahrungsaustausch sehr viel höher als die, die in dem Zielbericht erwähnt werden. Dies muss vor allem bei der Kommunikation mit den involvierten Partnern betont werden, sonst würde das Ergebnis der Studienbesuche beträchtlich geringer ausfallen. 285 Thema Arion Themen 1.
