Paper Abstract:
|
Students mobility is a relevant topic but, while in Higher Education transfers between Universities are a praxis, in
Vocational Educational and Training are still a declaration of intent. The main obstacles are basically related to the
heterogeneity of national qualification systems, and to the lack for definitive transparency measures. Although several
European instruments are being introduced in this perspective (like the European Qualification Framework), the
internationalization process is still in a preliminary phase. In this paper, a methodology exploiting formal descriptions for
supporting the creation of mutual understanding and for defining transnational referencing rules is defined. Rules,
developed by actors involved in VET provision, are then applied to a knowledge base hosting annotated national
qualifications to experiment qualification comparison and to measure competence gap. |
