Prof. Dr. phil. Ralph Dreher Eight Characteristics of good „Automotive-Teachers“: Consequences for TT-TVET 4th INAP - Conference Beijing Normal University Beijing 26th – 27th May 2011
Introduction • Methodology • Characteristics of work in the field of „Automotive Service“ • Didactical criteria for VET • Analysing teacher work in best practice-examples • Results • Eight characteristics of good TVET-work • Goals of and effects on teacher-training • Consequence: • Modules for TT-TVET in the field of „Automotive Service“ Content
New markets for luxury-class-cars (e.g.China); • The customer expects not only a car with up-to-date technology, he awaits a product with first-class-support; • High-level-educated native (!) manpower for Automotive-Service in these countries. Introduction

Introduction Research Questions: How can a functionable and aim-oriented vocational education training (VET) be established ? What is the design of an efficient teacher-training to realize this VET ?

How can we educate such trainers? • Teachers have to learn to teach by doing. (Mayr 2006) • Teacher-education has to integrate practical periods. (Oser 2003) • Teacher work needs implied knowledge generated by experience. (Neuweg 2002). • Teacher work has to focus on the planning, implemantation and reflection of teacher-units tailored to exemplary working tasks (Dreher/Kath 2004) Consequence:Work-process oriented TT-TVET

(Neuweg 2002). • Teacher work has to focus on the planning, implemantation and reflection of teacher-units tailored to exemplary working tasks (Dreher/Kath 2004) Consequence:Work-process oriented TT-TVET Idea: VET has to be organized in modules, which contain real work tasks. The work tasks have to be organized using the principle of development tasks (Havinghurst 1972).
Aim of the TT-TVET-modules: Teachers have to be able to create module-conform units with learning tasks, which gain more and more complexity. For example: Low complexity: • Teachers have to prepare, how • students can learn to read connecting plans (identifying the pins); • they explain to the students the use of a Multimeter measering voltage, resistance); • they can present examples to get across the difference between a functionable and a disfunctionable flow sensor (while engine is running, creating failure codes). Consequence:TVET-modules „Automotive Service“ Controlling mass air flow sensor by using Multimeter
Aim of the TT-TVET-modules: Teachers have to be able to create module-conform units with learning tasks, which gain more and more complexity. For example: Middle complexity: • Teachers have to prepare, how • students can understand the method of operation of a CAN-BUS and the differences between HIGH and LOW-CAN.; • they explain to the students the use of standard oscilloscope like Fluke; • the students can control the CAN-BUS-System to locate the possibility of a frame fault. Consequence:TVET-modules „Automotive Service“ Controlling CAN-Bus (frame fault) by using Standard-Oscillograph
Aim of the TT-TVET-modules: Teachers have to be able to create module-conform units with learning tasks, which gain more and more complexity. For example: High complexity: • Teachers have to prepare, how • students can work with the oscilloscope in a high-voltage-system; • they can simulate failures (spark -plug, ignition distributor, preresistor, ignition-cable) without destroying subsystems like catalyst, lambda oxygen sensor.) ; • they can explain to the students the use of the ranges of the oscilloscope; • they can teach to analyze the measuring-result. Consequence:TVET-modules „Automotive Service“ Analyzing sparking voltage by using oscillograph with manual range-adjustment
Consequence:TVET-modules „Automotive Service“ Controlling CAN-BUS (Frame fault) Controlling Ignition-System Controlling air-mass-flow-sensor Complexity of teacher-work
