2. Meaning of „Competence“ in VET • Speaking about „Competence-orientation“ in VET means, • to educate the students to solve real problems of the vocational practice by • reflecting the economic, ecologic and social consequences of their solution. “Vocational work assignments require the ability to incorporate various contextual factors. Besides the functionality of an approach, it needs to be considered whether it is economical, ecological and socially realizable and acceptable. “ (Rauner 2013)

3. General Consequences for the Didactic of VET • In case that VET will develop competence in the previously stated meaning, • the training must be oriented on real working processes; • which must be adapted in „learning situations“; • to realize a common process of „action oriented learning“.

5. Criteria for the work in the vocational field of „Automotive Service“ • „Design-oriented“ competence in the field of „Automotive Service“ means, • that skilled workers are able to design their work-process to • create effective diagnostic processes; • realize sustainable repair-strategies; • understand the importance of enviroment preservation; • work absolutly under the priority of safety at work; • support networking about diagnostic and repair routines; • discuss with collegues and supervisors in case of unsafe work.

Main Question: How to find „learning-situations“ as didactical base for competence-oriented vocational education ?

7. How to find „learning situations“ First step: Finding typical groups of work orders looking to different workshops . Second Step: Analyzing work processes to these orders by documenting them in the process of work and by interviewing the workers. Step 3: Defining „learning situations“ based on these work processes, which are able to develop competencies (including diagnostic process, using information from outside, having a complexitiy for the students– the ultimate solution is not known by the students) .

8. How can I find „learning situations“? First step: Finding typical groups of work orders by considering different workshops . Fault repair motormanagement (Intake-manifold fuel injection – 36 % in market in 2012) Second Step: Analyzing work processes to these orders by documenting them in the process of work and by interviewing the workers. Sensor-problems, Actuator disabled/broken, broken connection, Lambda-adjustment, Engine-Fuel-Supply, Hydraulic correction of fuel-pressure Third Step: Defining „learning situations“ based on these work processes, which are able to develop competencies (including diagnostic process, using information from outside, having a complexitiy for the students – the ultimate solution is not known by the students) Controlling Sensor-Data with Multimeter/Oscilloscope, Controlling Actors via OBD / actuator test , controlling connection, controlling Lamba-Sensor with Oscilloskope, controlling Engine-Fuel-Supply, controlling fuel pressure regulator and fuel fluid-quantity.
