Monitoring technological change and shaping the future in VET Dr. Monika Hackel BIBB, Bonn, Germany

Overview • Starting point: need of monitoring technological change • Methods and Data • Activity theory as a framework for analysis • Results Slide 2 BIBB, Dr. Monika Hackel 4. 2

Starting Point: Special interests of the project „Dif. Tech“ Ø describtive study of technological diffusion Ø Purpose: finding indicators for technology monitoring in VET ds n ma tion e l d ifica nts l i sk ual me e & q quir re Slide 3 BIBB, Dr. Monika Hackel 4. 2 technological change & technological diffusion ma nu fac tur ing ind us try

Starting Point: The German VET System ? Slide 4 BIBB, Dr. Monika Hackel 4. 2

Methods and Data • • qualitative interviews Validation by group discussion/survey lightwise design ( 19 interviews/4 group discussions) laser-technology (27 interviews/questionnaire survey N=40) • structured analysis of the data • criteria and codes based on activity theory Slide 5 BIBB, Dr. Monika Hackel 4. 2
