Description
SITUATION:
​
Initial situation for our project:
-
In terms of specific training content (e.g. food and beverage related topics), much has already been done and funded in Southeast Asia through previous projects (SEA-ABT, ASIFOOD).
-
Further content creation and training is no longer a priority, a consortium can build on the created training and the installed equipment.
-
However, there is demand to improve the pedagogical approaches:
o Teachers reported the lack of teaching resources and problems on implementing new teachingstrategies
o Teachers are the vital component in the quest for quality education
o Pre-service and in-service teacher training is indeed needed in the teacher education curriculum
o New training methods for participative and reflective methods for teachers and trainers are needed
o Involvement and assessment of IT and new digital tools is necessary
