Accreditation of Vocational Learning Outcomes: Perspectives for a European Transfer ITB-Forschungsberichte 43/2009 Juni 2009 Zusammenfassung: Das gemeinsame Grundprinzip von EQR und ECVET ist die Beschreibung von Qualifikationen durch Lernergebnisse. Die Ausgangsbedingungen für eine Umsetzung dieses ergebnisorientierten Ansatzes in den europäischen Systemen der allgemeinen und beruflichen Bildung sind jedoch sehr unterschiedlich. Dieser Problematik widmet sich das Projekt CREDIVOC, das von Partnern aus Deutschland, Finnland, Frankreich, Irland und Österreich durchgeführt wird und die Identifikation, die Erprobung und den Transfer von Instrumenten zur Anrechnung beruflicher Lernergebnisse auf weiterführende Bildungsgänge zum Gegenstand hat. Die vorliegende Publikation ist das Ergebnis der ersten Projektphase, die der Herstellung einer allgemeinen Übersicht über die Anrechnungsverfahren und –instrumente in den Partnerländern gewidmet war. Zu diesem Zweck haben die Partner nationale Fallstudien zur Anrechnung beruflicher Lernergebnisse in den Partnerländern durchgeführt. Um einen Vergleich der Ergebnisse zu ermöglichen, wurde ein gemeinsames Vergleichsraster erarbeitet, dessen Kriterien in der Hauptsache die Art der Anrechnung (individuelle vs. pauschale Anrechnung) sowie die Methodik der Verfahren betreffen. Ein abschließender Synthesebericht fasst die Ergebnisse der einzelnen Länderkapitel zusammen und entwickelt Schlussfolgerungen zu der Frage, welche Ansätze und Instrumente der Anrechnung beruflicher Lernergebnisse besonders geeignet sind, die Transparenz von Qualifikationen und die Bildungsmobilität in Europa zu verbessern. Abstract: The fundamental principle that EQF and ECVET have in common is the description of qualifications in terms of learning outcomes. The background for implementing this outcome-based approach in the European education and training systems, however, is quite diverse. This situation is addressed by the CREDIVOC project, which involves partners from Austria, Finland, France, Germany and Ireland and focuses on the identification, testing and transfer of instruments that can be used for the recognition and accreditation of learning outcomes from initial and continuing vocational education and training for further education. The present publication is the major outcome of the first phase of the project, which aimed at the production of a general overview of the accreditation procedures and instruments in the partner countries. To this end, national case studies concerning the accreditation of vocational learning outcomes in Austria, Finland, France, Germany and Ireland have been carried out by the project partners. In order to allow for comparison between the different national approaches a common analytical framework was adopted. The criteria focus especially on the type of recognition (individual vs. blanket recognition) and the methodology of the assessment tools or instruments used. A synthesis report summarises the results of the national case studies and draws some conclusions as to what types of accreditation procedures and instruments might be appropriate for improving the trans parency of qualifications and the mobility between educational programmes in Europe. This project has been funded with support from the European Commission. This publication reflects the views only of the authors, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein. 2 Contents 1.

  • India Disaster Report 2013
    INDIA DISASTER REPORT 2013 COMPILED BY: Dr. Satendra Dr. K. J. Anandha Kumar Maj. Gen. Dr. V. K. Naik, KC, AVSM National Institute of Disaster Management 2014 i INDIA DISASTER REPORT 2013 ii PREFACE Research and Documentation in the field of disaster management is one of the main responsibilities of the National Institute of Disaster Management as entrusted by the Disaster Management Act of 2005. Probably with the inevitable climate change, ongoing industrial development, and other anthropogenic activities, the frequency of disasters has also shown an upward trend. It is imperative that these disasters and the areas impacted by these disasters are documented in order to analyze and draw lessons to enhance preparedness for future. A data bank of disasters is fundamental to all the capacity building initiatives for efficient disaster management. In the backdrop of this important requirement, the NIDM commenced publication of India Disaster Report from the year 2011. The India Disaster Report 2013 documents the major disasters of the year with focus on the Uttarakhand Flash Floods and the Cyclone Phailin. Other disasters like building collapse and stampede have also been covered besides the biological disaster (Japanese Encephalitis). The lessons learnt in these disasters provide us a bench-mark for further refining our approach to disaster management with an aim at creating a disaster resilient India. A review of the disasters during the year reinforce the need for sustainable development as also the significance of the need for mainstreaming of disaster risk reduction in all developmental activities. We are thankful to all the members of the NIDM who have contributed towards this effort.
