Summary
The following project aims at investigating how ICT can support experienced-based and project-based learning scenarios to improve the integration between school and workplace knowledge and skills. The first study is a focused study (one school, one class, few workplaces and trainers involved) to investigate the impact of using a web-based workbook to import actual situations from the work place to the school classroom. The field chosen is the training of dental assistants in the Canton de Genève. The second study aims at fostering project-based scenarios in which apprentices will be asked to write down their experience along the course of the project. Two protocols will be compared with regard to their effectiveness in inciting reflexive activities and deep learning. The third study will integrate and evaluate on a larger scale the methods and tools developed in study 1 and 2 of this project as well as in project 1 and 3.
