Output indicators or personal development common understanding of the phenomenon that should be evaluated Contexts of Evaluation historical and cultural embeddedness of the phenomenon of evaluation national annd international evaluation discussions From ISO 9000 via EFQM to Q2E, QSED different evaluation interests, fears and, targets

  4. Carried out by OECD, CEDEFOP Carried out by IDEA, IOCE Evaluation trends Indicator centered evaluation innovative evaluation approaches strict, highly structured procedures targeting empowerment or participation Measuring soft outcomes

External Evaluation Disadvantages • To measure „soft“ outcomes is very difficult/impossible • Processes are aiming at the targets of the external evaluation • In this way processes are severely narrowed down • Teachers/Trainers are objects of external powers • They become disempowered • They become passive • avoid these Advantages • Seemingly „objective „ Reliable Outcomes • Easily transferable results • No self-deception • No cheating (???) • Should be combined with (internal) self-evaluation • In order to….

  6. How should Self Evaluation be approached?

  7. Quality Development through Self Evaluation with a Web Based Tool?  CVET actors from six European countries were involved in the construction process from the beginning of the project „REFLECTIVE EVALUATION“ The main product: a web based tool is centred on self evaluation of teachers/trainers & adaptable to specific cultural/ institutional needs FOR People at risk in the labour market (at threat of being fired; unemployed; women returners) AND Participants in conventional CVT courses !

  8. Quality Developmentthrough Self Evaluation with a Web Based Tool? • Interactive web based tool • Six dimensions • Four Levels • Adaption through the users themselves • Pictures, audio, video • Multiple methods for reflection • Material pool

  9. Assessment & Recognition Self-Evaluation & Quality Development Six dimensions Collaboration & Networking Teaching & Learning Reflective Evaluation Values & Roles Work Conditions next

  10. Four Levels • System • Institution • Team/Interpersonal • Individual

  11. Challenges System Level - Criteria for QM dictated from outside - Stiff quality assurance instead of dynamic quality development Institutional Level - Adaption to market oriented results instead of own aims Team-/Individual Level - Resentment to participate actively - Feeling forced by QM

  12. Solutions System Acknowledgement of „soft“ outcomes Institutions External evaluation combined with internal self evaluation Team/Individual For an easier and continuing adjustment to self evaluation for example our self reliant quality development tool for higher motivation through interactivity and multimedia
