This coming 8 June will mark the first event of TURN2COACH, the training course dedicated to Lazio ITS Mechatronics trainers.
This event focuses on the role of the ITS course trainer and stems from an awareness of the complexity of the ITS course trainer, who, alongside a solid specialised technical background, completes his or her profile with didactic design skills, the ability to use innovative pedagogical approaches, digital didactic tools, and the ability to be a proactive player in the training chain. ITS teachers share the training intervention priorities emerging in the company, and are an indispensable element in the development of the local educational ecosystem.
Interacting with young students also requires the ability to activate transversal skills in order to involve students and companies in the training process, to recognise and attract talent, and to transfer professional ethics to the new generations. The trainer's expected contribution is to be the driving force behind the innovation of 'non-university tertiary education' represented in Italy by ITS.
TURN2COACH is the result of the collaboration between ITS Meccatronico del Lazio, Humans - La Scuola di Sermoneta and SFC Sistemi Formativi Confindustria, and makes use of the results of the "Strategic Partnership" projects of the Erasmus + programme carried out in recent years by SFC, and in particular
- SEAL - Senior Learning Facilitator, from which derives the ability to analyse the training context, the ability to read and interpret one's role as a teacher and expert in the training ecosystem. Knowing how to interact with different stakeholders, knowing how to recognise and act one's role in "feedback loop" systems to monitor, evaluate and contribute to the updating of training paths for the growth of the territory.
- NEW METRO - embeddiNg kEts and Work based learning into MEchaTROnic profile, aimed at outlining transnational strategic competences to train and validate the profile of the Mechatronics Higher Technician at European level.
- DIGITRONICS - to strengthen mechatronics training systems through the use of e-learning solutions, in order to respond to the need of companies to adapt their learning systems to the rapid technological evolution of production systems.
- DIGITAL WBL - aimed at outlining an innovative methodological approach through the use of AI, virtual reality in work-based learning systems and going beyond current training standards in e-learning methods.
The following are invited to attend the meeting: lecturers, company representatives, researchers, stakeholders and other experts who contribute to the development of the didactics of the ITS Mechatronics of Lazio.
TURN2COACH is part of the programme of events and activities promoted by the European Commission as part of the European Year of Skills initiative
