Description

The project "Facilitating/ Strengthening Quality Assurance of Workplace-Learning through the Development of Learning Outcomes’ Standardized Assessment Tools" is complementary to the previous project - EVRICA.  The database containing assessment items, developed within the EEA funded project EVRICA, will provide the opportunity to carry out unitary evaluations using good quality items tested before being applied on other target groups. The process of continuous improvement of the quality of formative and summative assessment of learning outcomes (LOs) will be complete as it addresses two main components: further development of the assessment items database and grouping and creating the final version of the assessment items, which will be scientifically conducted and statistically analyzed under the "Item Response Theory" using dedicated software.  The software is free, accessible and able to provide a wide range of statistical analysis.

Main objective: Continuous support of learning outcomes’ assessment process in order to increase its relevance for the labour market. Specific objectives:

Improving the LOs assessment acquired by students in the practical training stages

Strengthening the school and social partners/labour market partnership in the field learning outcomes’ assessment in initial VET.

The project activities will be attended by 76 people, as follows:

 29 people at the first event and

 47 people at the second event.

Expected results: 1 set of assessment tools containing at least 66 statistically analyzed tests to be available national wide and published on the "Choose your pathway" website, 50 teachers with competences in the field of LOs assessments and statistical analysis of improved tests, 12 members of CNDIPT staff with improved competences in the field of statistical data analysis, 6 representatives of the social partners with improved competences in assessment, 1 Analysis report performed as a result of testing the assessment tools.
