Validation and recognition of 21st century skills

Inhalt

Validation and recognition of 21st century skills for adult education programmesThe project 21st skills for adult in Cities of Learning has introduced the Cities of Learning platform into several new communities: Ghent and Hoogstraten (Belgium), West Brabant, Region Rijnland, Island Curacao (Kingdom of The Netherlands), and Lisbon (Portugal).
Cities of Learning promotes open, accessible and inclusive learning to all.
﻿
This project idea takes place in the context of digitalisation of societies, which is now additionally accelerated by the lockdowns due to the pandemic crisis. Common challenge is the lack of adult education programmes oriented towards competences and skills needed to thrive today and in the future. That’s where the 21st century skills idea originates.
﻿
We refer in this project to 21st century skills, which we see as a broad set of knowledge, skills, work habits and character qualities for people in ensuring well-being, civic engagement and employment. This set of skills also include digital skills and literacies necessary to harness the digital transformation. Through the work in Cities of Learning context and also the international adult education context, we are combining frameworks for 21st century skills that are recognised on world wide and on national levels: E.g. DigComp 2.0, nationally used working skills (can be different per partner country), and the World Economic Forum Top 10 skills in demand for 2022.
﻿
During the project 21st skills for adult in Cities of Learning project partners will map best practices in validation and recognition of the 21st century skills in participating countries, in other countries in Europe and the world. The 21st century skills are skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, information literacy, media literacy, technology literacy, flexibility, leadership, initiative, productivity, social and cross-cultural skills, learning to learn, digital literacy, problem solving, and creativity.
﻿
Partners of this project will create unique skills assessment, validation and recognition pathways for adult education programmes focused on 21st century skills development, which will be developed respecting different perspectives of organisational roles and countries.
﻿
During this project we want to extend the possibilities of digital technology to improve transparency and recognition of skills, in our case 21st century skills. We want to develop the skills assessment and competency frameworks functionalities and integrate them in the platform for Cities of Learning. The assessment functionality will enable learning providers and learners to use a 360° assessment system which will combine self-assessment, external feedback from other learners, mentors and supervisors. The 360° assessment system will be based around a specific competence model chosen by the learning provider. The competence model can be aligned to a specific qualification framework or occupational standard.
﻿
Results of this project will be:
Webinar recordings and a comprehensive report with good practices of validating and recognising 21st century skills developed through adult education programmes.
Guidelines for validation and recognition of 21st century skills in adult education programmes.
Validation and recognition pathways designed, tested and created for selected adult education programmes implemented by the project partners.
Technical solutions to implement assessment and recognition of 21st century skills using the platform of Cities of Learning.
Impact on learning and recognition of adult learners to improve their opportunities for 21st century skills validation and recognition.
﻿
This playlist has been developed to support project partners and local organisations

During this visit you will be part of an introduction & presentation on Gentlestudent.
﻿
Artevelde University of Applied Sciences initially encourages its students to act professionally, to think critically and to become the person in the world they can and want to be, and brings students and citizens closer together through Gentlestudent.
﻿
Gentlestudent focuses on meaningful and in-depth learning and does so in continuous dialogue with the students and the initiatives in the city itself. With Gentlestudent, Artevelde University College provides an online platform on which the neighborhood and students find each other through various learning opportunities, spread throughout the city. Residents and organisations in the neighborhood can post very concrete ideas and needs on this platform.
﻿
For the (Gentle) students, this platform is an opportunity to make their social commitment visible. They can find ideas and needs and then offer themselves to realize a creative solution or action. They also receive an Open Badge for their realized learning opportunity.
﻿
This visit is part of the study visit Good practices of validation and recognition of 21st century skills for adult education programmes. Participants of this visit can earn an open badge by participating in and reflecting on this visit.

This badge is a reflection tool for the visit at GentleStudent in Ghent, Belgium. This visit is part of the study visit Good practices of validation and recognition of 21st century skills for adult education programmes. 
﻿
In this visit we looked at Gentlestudent, which focuses on meaningful and in-depth learning and does so in continuous dialogue with the students and the initiatives in the city itself. With Gentlestudent, Artevelde University College provides an online platform on which the neighborhood and students find each other through various learning opportunities, spread throughout the city.
﻿
The holder of the badge will have worked either on their own or in a small group to reflect on the questions:
how the visit has gone;
what has been learned;
how to use this in your work;
how else to use it (think about e.g. benefit for society).﻿
﻿
The questions are designed to optimise generative learning: they are not just about what the participant has learnt but also how they can use the learning in their work and personal life.
﻿
This badge has been issued by a facilitator of the study visit.
