Institute for Holistic Learning Based on Montessori Education

It is worth noting that systems based on Competency-<strong>Based</strong> Training are in essence assessment and certification
systems, rather than training systems. In general, CBT is not concerned about the modes and parameters of learning
and teaching. Since CBT focuses on the results rather than on the process of learning and teaching, it offers
teachers/instructors little assistance on HOW to achieve the specified results.
However, the effectiveness and efficiency of training cannot be boosted simply by defining and examining the
outcomes of learning very precisely, while leaving it to the learners and learning facilitators to determine where, how
and when they achieve these outcomes. The approach and method applied in facilitating learning has a direct impact
on the results of the learning process.

Conclusion
39 Hödl, Leo - Austria - hoedl@biwi.at
Vocational guidance to apprenticeship needs practical in<strong>for</strong>mation in time
Schools give many in<strong>for</strong>mations to the pupils about different careers but too much in theory and too little practical
in<strong>for</strong>mation. Employers expect abilities but they give not enough in<strong>for</strong>mation about their working places and why they
need those abilities. BIWI tries to be a plat<strong>for</strong>m between school and economy, helps to introduce both sides, and
invites to work together. BIWI Career advicer help to find out interests and abilities of the customers and show them
the praxis of different working places. The in<strong>for</strong>mation goes not only to the pupils, but also to the opinion leaders like
parents or teacher. BIWI-career-advicing uses career fairs with living working places, application training, practical
practice and invites the customers to use all their sense organs to find out which career-family is most fitting.

Alignment of Rationalities in Lifelong <strong>Learning</strong> <strong>for</strong> Work: Challenges <strong>for</strong> VET Colleges.
Be<strong>for</strong>e industrialization, work and learning were organized organically within local economies. However, with the rise of
the industrial era, the need <strong>for</strong> a well-trained labour <strong>for</strong>ce caused work and learning to become more and more
organized in strong societal systems, built on specialized organizations and institutional frames. In many countries, a
system of vocational education and training has been set up that prepares people <strong>for</strong> work. For efficiency reasons, we
have organized a serial goal rationality: education and training as preparation <strong>for</strong> work.
