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

​

​

  •      Sustainable modernisation and updating of the pedagogical and didactical training capacities of teachers and trainers in Thailand and Vietnam (on the example of selected thematic sectors)

  •      To educate academic teachers and non-academic trainers with adequate pedagogical training at different levels

  •      To better prepare students for the job market as future academic employees in hospitality-related sectors
