E-Portfolio-Konzept unterstützt die kompetenzorientierte Arbeitswelt - Jugendliche, Arbeitswelt, Hattie-Studie und E-Portfolio-Konzept im stimmigen Zusammenspiel
ABSTRACTIn the area of tension of the social demands in the worlds of employment, identity and education adolescent learners in the final phase of their compulsory education – at the age of about 15 years – should be adequately supported at this passage into the job finding process and the job integration process. As a supportive measure the e-portfolioconcept should be integrated into the above areas of tension. After a comprehensive analysis of the social frame conditions and tendencies, that can be assigned and reasoned to the phenomenon of dissolution it is tried to verify the typical aspect, also interpretable as requirement profile, for accordance. In this respect the concept of competence in its basic structure turns out to be a suitable connecting element between these areas of tension as an argument of using the e-portfolio in teaching in that context. It constitutes conclusive evidence that the typical profile of the phenomenon of dissolution is represented in the construction of the identity of the adolescents. The effect sizes of the Hattie research study give proof that the demands in the...

Danube University Krems was also the venue of a trainers' workshop for the piloting countries.On November 11 and 12, 2015 ATS2020 project partners met in order to discuss further steps for the large-scale experimentation of „Assessment of Transversal Skills“. The framework of reference for digital skills and cooperation skills was presented.

This workshop, entitled “Bridging the Gaps and Joining the Dots”, focused on EUROPORTFOLIO’s ePortfolio & Open Badges Maturity Framework and OERs and MOOCs on ePortfolios.  However, there is a range of further achievements within the EUROPORTFOLIO project, such as a Competency Framework which is an important driver for the use of ePortfolios for the recognition of prior learning as well as for assessment and accreditation of competencies at schools, universities, or at the workplace.
