Concept Development for the Verification of the Didactic Competence Promotion for the Learning Factory on Global Production

Learning Factories 4.0 in technical vocational schools: can they foster competence development?

“…Industry 4.0 may bring changes in occupational learning culture (Belinski et al 2020;Ifenthaler 2018). In order to efficient competence acquisition and development streams of self-directed, action-based and hands-on learning (Belinski et al 2020;Hummel et al 2015), should be intentionally integrated by teachers in their instructional designs for conducive learning with Learning Factories 4.0 (Lanza et al 2016;Liebrecht et al 2017). Industrial processes are becoming more complex due to real-time interconnectivity, which means an overlap of several field of operations within a value added network to finalize a product (Gebhardt et al 2015).…”

“…This study aims to validate the development of subject-related technical competencies within a discipline and non-subject-related, multidisciplinary digital competencies through Learning Factories 4.0. Previous research indicates that the integration of Learning Factories 4.0 in vocational learning environments may support the competence development of technical vocational students (Lanza et al 2016;Liebrecht et al 2017;Tisch et al 2016). For example, in a pre-posttest design, Aymans et al (2018) found a significant development of self-assessed computer-related competencies in a group which was learning with a Learning Factory 4.0.…”

“…The researchers and participating teachers discussed several opportunities to measure competence development within this topic. Previous research used written examinations for competence evaluation linked to Learning Factories 4.0 (Abele et al 2019;Liebrecht et al 2017). Hence, written exams were identified as an economical way to measure and evaluate competence development within the setting of an on-going school year.…”

“…In addition, research suggests that Learning Factories 4.0 can help to develop not only technical, but other Industry 4.0-relevant competencies like information literacy, problem solving, or collaboration (Balve and Ebert 2019;Ifenthaler 2018;Tisch et al 2013). However, current studies largely focus on learners at the university level (Abele et al 2015;Balve and Ebert 2019;Belinski et al 2020;Enke et al 2018;Liebrecht et al 2017;Müller-Frommeyer et al 2017). Studies about the impact of Learning Factories 4.0 in the context of technical vocational educational training are scarce (Roll and Ifenthaler 2020b;Scheid 2018).…”

¿Por qué es necesaria una didáctica específica para la educación Superior?

“…Investigaciones recientes estiman que los cambios observados a nivel de estudiantes, en comparación con el entorno social y cultural, alientan a repensar en la misión de la universidad y los métodos de enseñanza al mismo tiempo, lo que deja en claro la necesidad de declarar que la preocupación, las tareas y la función del profesor evolucionan en orden a la profunda mutación que la universidad está presenciando (Jomaa, Chihi, Sghair, Mami y Kpazai, 2017). Se plantea una transformación del sistema de educación superior que haga que el alumno y el proceso de aprendizaje estén más enfocados (Liebrechta et al, 2017).…”
