Education for sustainable development

Abstract

The project titled Modernisation of the Vocational Education and Training System was implemented by the Agency for Vocational Education and Training and Adult Education. Its aim is to develop attractive, innovative and relevant vocational education and training linked with the labor market (ASOO). The project is co-financed by the European Social Fund. The ultimate goal of the project is to develop new vocational curricula tailored to the needs of the contemporary labor market requirements and modern pedagogical guidelines. A breakthrough in pedagogical practice is the planning of vocational curricula in modules. The module is a logical and meaningful unit in which different learning outcomes are linked together. In each sector, a sectoral curriculum is developed that forms the sectoral core: subjects common to all curricula within the sector and a sub-sectoral part common to related professions. The paper describes the development of vocational curricula in the health sector.

Odgoj i obrazovanje za održivi razvoj

Sažetak 

Projekt „Modernizacija sustava strukovnoga obrazovanja i osposobljavanja” realizirala je Agencija za strukovno obrazovanje i obrazovanje odraslih. Njegova svrha je razvoj strukovnoga obrazovanja i osposobljavanja koje je privlačno, inovativno, relevantno i povezano s tržištem rada (ASOO). Projekt je sufinanciran sredstvima iz Europskoga socijalnog fonda. Krajnji je cilj projekta razvoj novih strukovnih kurikula usklađenih s potrebama, rada ali i modernim pedagoškim smjernicama. Iskorak u pedagoškoj praksi jest planiranje strukovnih kurikula u modulima. Modul čini logičnu i smislenu cjelinu u kojoj su povezani skupovi ishoda učenja. U svakom sektoru razvija se i sektorski kurikul koji čini sektorsku jezgru: predmete zajedničke svim kurikulima unutar sektora te podsektorski dio zajednički srodnim zanimanjima. U radu je opisan razvoj strukovnih kurikula u sektoru Zdravstvo.
