Facilitated Work Based Learning

FWBL


What is FWBL ?

CPD for individuals/teams of employees in a given company, The employees are following a work based learning programme designed for their specific work situation.

The competence development is facilitated by teachers from AAU primarily based on AAU’s pædagogic model - PBL.

The learning process is designed to match company’s competence-strategy and to meet the preferences of the employee. If possible it will be linked to an ongoing or planned project in the company.


Facilitated Work Based Learning

• Integrated in engineering work• No demand for leaving work place and

family on a specific time• Content defined by needs (not degree def.)• Guaranty of professional relevance• Content, size and speed individually

adaptedCPD-aalborgBente Nørgaard

Definitions

• PBL on-campus studies. Learning objectives are academic def. in the curriculum. Project organised team-work. Earning Credits/Degree.

• WBL for individuals or teams of engineers learning by their work to

meet academic defined objectives. Earning Credits/Degree • FWBL for individuals or teams of engineers learning by their work and

supervised by university professor to meet work defined needs


Problem solving

Universities

• The problem is a tool• Learning is the goal

Companies

• Professional skills are the tools

• The goal is to solve the problem


The FWBL process can be described in 5 continuously phases:

• The contact phase• Defining/specifing Learning Objectives phase• Work out the Leaning Contract phase• Implementation of FWBL phase• Evaluation phase


The contact phase

• Adapt wishes, expectations and demands• Obtain knowledge of competence needs

(strategy)• Describe Project and Timeframe• Identify the team of employees• Inform about the FWBL method


Definition of learning objectives

• Presentation of the project• Specification of competence needs• Presentation of teachers/facilitators• Make the learning objectives specific• Inform about the FWBL method


WBL contract- Definition of learning goals- Specification of learning methods- Definition of milestones/task for the student- Definition of success criteria- Definition of company involvement- Definition of university involvement


FWBL implementering• Problem Based Learning organised as

Company Based Team-work• Mixed teams (background and FWBL-activity)• University staff as facilitator

– A Coordinator + experts

• Company senior employee as mentors• Administration


Evaluation

• Evaluate FWBL continuously• Final evaluation• Evaluate the learning objectives


FAQ - Questions • Is it expensiv?• How many can participate?• How will the new knowledge be integrated in

the company?• What kind of teacher will we get?• Can we get acces to research based

knowledge?• How can we make sure we get the knowledge

we need?CPD-aalborgBente Nørgaard

Comments from Manager• The strengt of FWBL - taylor made

to the company/competence strategythe needs of the individual employeeto the needs of a single project

• 20-50 % CPD is suitable for FWBL• Knowledge integrated in the company• Absent at traditional courses / Not absent at

FWBL - dilemma• University ’long-haired’ theory meet practical

workday in company• Closeer contact to university• Arrange and organize meetings
