Innovative curriculum designing for work - based learning
Unit 3. Assessment of work-based learning
3.1. Evaluation and assessment - introduction
During the work based learning the progress of the project work has to be evaluated by the teacher/trainer. This way, difficulties, time delays, and other obstacles to the project can be identified and the project work can be improved.
The teacher/trainer’s role is defined by moderation, observation, and facilitation during the learning process. The teacher/trainer should be up to date with the project work at all times, even when the project group works on one task for a longer time. The teacher/trainer needs at least to know where the students are working, what they’re working on and in what stage of the project the group is currently working.
Teachers/trainer should always keep the time table, tasks, and overall aim/goal of the project in mind. Students sometimes get carried away in their way and it is necessary to remind them of the next tasks.
