Project Summary

In Vietnam, there is a need for vocational and higher education to provide new kind of competences required in the rapidly changing world of work. The development of Industry 4.0 and Web 4.0 creates a need to create Education 4.0 following the principles of student-centered and competence based education. Teachers and educational institutions need new competences, enhanced collaboration through communities of practice and sustainable networks with the world of work to build a learning ecosystem for Education 4.0. In EMVITET project, this aim is achieved by building a process of development cycles utilizing participatory action research approach (PAR), where teacher and organizational development are intertwined. Vietnamese teachers and their managers are engaged in identifying their development needs and contextualizing the development activities to ensure their ownership. European educational developers will facilitate teacher and organizational learning by providing online mentoring and workshops in Europe and Vietnam. Digital platforms are used throughout the project in dissemination of outputs and outcomes as well as assessing and guiding teacher development (e.g. ePortfolios, Digital Badges). The impacts are related to teachers’ new competences and change in the mindset, as well as improved educational structures providing relevant competences for students, the future workforce in labour market. In addition, the teachers participating in EMVITET activities will become multipliers sharing their experiences and further training their colleagues and other teachers beyond the partner institutes by utilizing the outputs and materials produced in the project. Further, vocational and higher education institutions will operate productively with the world of work creating bridges and increasing the relevance of education. On top, vocational and higher education institutions will strengthen the educator networks and work with each other in the new learning ecosystem.
