  ● 5 institutesof vocational teacher education. ● Regulated by law (356/03) and statute (357/03). ● The Professional Teacher Education Programme consist of 60 ECTS credits and provides a teacher qualification to work as a teacher at vocational institutions or at universities of applied sciences. ● Combining study and work: study paths for both practicing teachers and teacher candidates who want to gain the official teacher’s qualification diploma. ● A general entrance requirement for vocational teachers is Bachelor’s (or higher) degree and 3 years of professional work experience. ● Multidisciplinary groups and multiform studies to meet the needs of adult students. ● Fast track or flexible part-time studies from 9 months to 3 years.

  1. Why DigitalOpen Badges? Future: increasingly numerous ways to develop competences. ● Digital open badges offer novel possibilities in identifying and recognising different competences independent of how they were acquired. ● Electronic microcredentials are used in learning to encourage students, to pinpoint progress and to support credentialing. ● Clear principles of judgement: equal, egalitarian and transparent way of assessment ● Badges as macrocredentials offer an option to digitise certificates and diplomas.

  CASE ”LEARNING ONLINE” Competence-basedProfessional Development for VET trainers • ”Learning Online” is a national competence development program designed for vocational teachers. Over 23000 competence-based badges (three levels of UNESCO’s ICT-CFT) since 2014. • Efficient professional development: • Badges are assessed based on an application: tangible tasks to apply new competences in working life. • Promotes independent self-evaluation of existing competences and identification of individual competences needed in working life. • Supports validation of prior learning

  PERSONAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT Personal LearningEnvironments and Personal Learning Networks in professional teaching PROFICIENCY GOALS -Understand the opportunities and available via a personal learning environment and network e.g. own skills development and visualising your own processes. -Understand how a personal learning environment can be utilised in professional teaching. THEMES -Personal learning environment and network possibilities and challenges in professional teaching. SKILLS DEMONSTRATION -Describe your current or a planned personal learning environment and/or network using any desired media e.g. video / written document. You may also describe a PLE from the perspective of your students and how they would utilise a PLE. -Also describe with which kind of tools or environments your described PLE will be accomplished. Upload your media e.g. to a cloud service and provide a link in your application. “an image file embedded with information” (Grant, 2014, p. 7) A badge includes an identification image, graphic or icon, the name of the badge, issuer identification and other information content. The metadata describes the principles of judgement and explain how the competence in question should be demonstrated (e.g., an online document). Even if competencies are acquired differently they should be assessed equally. Badge Design and Criteria Building

  “The competition betweenteams was nice, but the most important thing was playing. I used to play Mafia Wars for four hours a day until my husband banned it. This is how I satisfy the craving when going to bed but not feeling sleepy yet. One more. I got one more badge. It seemed to me the best quality (of education), the most addictive and interesting learning experience of my life, although not an easy achievement.” In-service teacher on skills set developer-level III EXPERIENCE GAMIFIED ”LEARNING ONLINE”

  2. Digital OpenBadge-Driven Learning: The Competence-based Approach, Digital Open Badges and Gamification in Professional Development • The first European doctoral dissertation to address the structure and process of digital open badge-driven learning • An application of competence-based approach and gamified learning process. • Recent theoretical approaches to digital badging and principles for designing motivating gamification with badges. • Supports a competence-based approach in continuing professional development to meet the individual professional needs. 1/23/20 Sanna Brauer 8

  Conceptualising Digital OpenBadge-Driven Learning Brauer, 2019; cf. Salmon, 2018 • A competence-based learning process grounded on the badge constellation of competences. • Identification and recognition of different competences, acquired differently, using digital open badges. • The entity involves learning materials, badge criterion, instructional badging, scaffolding and peer support.

  3. Digital openbadges have become a successful tool in Finland for fostering professional development • Several national badge constellations of competences will be published in 2020-2023. • Development and pilots should inform ongoing Europass development Teacher’s Badges offers to create and establish a national digital badges system to support the recognition and acknowledging of professional competences of vocational teachers during their teacher studies as well as their entire professional career. Competitive Skills aims to develop a national system, which enables the verification of adults’ problem solving skills in technology-rich environments (PIAAC) by identifying and recognising competences acquired outside the formal education system, at different levels of education, and in transition phases of the education structure. In addition, the project provides a requirement framework of competence (NQF) for securing IT-related problem- solving skills in VET. Chips For Game Skills - project focuses on identifying different professions of games industry and developing a common assessment criteria – a digital open badge system – which clarifies the definition and understanding of the professional competences required in such a working life positions.

  4. Who ownsthe “open”? Different stakeholders have various value expectations of badges • Learning pathways should include collaboration between different stakeholders so that badges hold value and are highly recognised in society • Different development projects share various networks: municipalities, secondary education, universities of applied sciences, schools of professional teacher education and research universities • Role of National Ministries and Agencies and European collaboration BERLIN DECLARATION of Validation of Prior Learning: The VPL Biennale Book 2019

  5. How toget (Inter)National? Frameworks, recommendations and official guidelines (e.g. DigiCompEdu/Org/NQFs/PIAAC) • Fit the language (ESCO) • Network! National, international, technical, pedagogical - different kind of expertise is needed • Share Experices - Learn from Others! • Study Research - Do Research! • Apply for resources for diverse purposes: to ground theory, to pilot practices, to develop technologies, to educate trainers, to disseminate results...

  6. Key SuccessFactors of Microcredentials: Excellent learning outcomes, by quantity and quality • Visualise study progress and optional study paths. • Validates formal, non-formal, and informal studies • A sense of excitement similar to that of playing games: inspiring gamification encourages the participant to proceed. • Evidence: the demonstration of competence in question - tangible applications in working life. • Personal development plans - driver for personal growth. • Interaction, collaboration and feedback

  7. Main challenges Thecriteria for the future skills and knowledge are developing and evolving while staying compatible with the nationwide administration and learning management systems. • Technologies under development • (Inter)National guidelines for quality badging • Freely organised networks as stakeholders • Transition from simplistic grading to assessment of competences can be a demanding challenge for both teachers and students • Personalisation, customisation, individual study paths → scaffolding resources Brauer, S.
