CODEVET - Cooperation partnerships in the field of vocational education and training

CODEVET aims to establish COMET as an instrument for skills diagnostics in order to assess and compare skilled workers independently of education systems and forms of training and to be able to train them in a way that is a perfect fit. This contributes to combating the shortage of skilled workers and enables an evaluation of education systems: Berufs-PISA.
COMET
is to become part of quality management in order to continuously improve vocational training processes in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The participants learn

a) how to use the COMET instruments in a rater training course in order to be able to evaluate learners' task solutions on the basis of the COMET competence model,
b) how to generate open-ended vocational test and learning tasks and evaluate their quality,
c) how to interpret the test results and use them for their own teaching development.
The workshops also work with video sequences (microteaching). Approx. 1000 trainees in 5 occupations are tested.

CODEVET uses competence tests to determine the individual competence profiles of the skilled workers and presents them in a structured manner. Teachers use the results to draw conclusions about teaching and learning processes and optimize them. With the COMET method, teachers gain the ability to self-evaluate. This expands school quality management. The data reaches education policy decision-makers and forms the basis for reducing the shortage of skilled workers and improving European education systems.
