The aim of the partnership is to design and develop a Innovative Multimedia Platform for the Presentation of Professional Qualifications (SHOW-VET) and to apply the platform in vocational education and training in the field of agricultural sciences in the period of 24 months. Using innovative solutions applied on the platform, we will present in a novel way selected professional qualifications, taking into account their diversity and the necessary methods of teaching and verification of knowledge during educational work.

The introduction of new methods and tools for vocational education will enable practitioners, instructors and students to cooperate in practice, in practice more effective and practical than conventional, and more expressive and efficient than the traditional application of technology in teaching. 

Direct participants will be: 

– Schools educating agricultural technicians, as well as interested in cooperation of a  vocational education institution with a similar or related profile; 

– Agricultural companies interested in the appropriate preparation of future employees for  work in agricultural production; 

– Other education and training establishments; 

The project provides for: 

1. Development of a methodology for presenting Agricultural Qualifications, taking into  account their diversity and the necessary methods of teaching and verification of knowledge  during educational work, 
2. Designing the SHOW-VET system from the functional efficiency side enabling the  presentation of the scope of Qualifications and teaching materials necessary to join the  process of acquiring qualifications in an accredited entity with on-line access on the website. 
3. The development of the SHOW-VET system using the methods of implementing final  products through the phase of solution planning, testing and implementation of the final  product, 
4. Designing the usability model with the simultaneous implementation on the SHOW-VET  platform of selected Professional Qualifications by the Applicant and Partners of the project 
5. Applications of SHOW-VET in teaching in the field of agriculture,

The methods of work adopted in the implementation of the project and cooperation undertaken as part of the strategic partnership in this area include: 

– task work – the aim of which is to develop teaching materials for the interactive educational  module; 

– conceptual work – the purpose of which is to develop the concept of the  functionality of the IT tool; 

– developing solutions – building an IT system SHOW-VET with simultaneous verification of the  assumptions and functionalities of the system; 

– implementation phase – providing an internet platform for entities interested in improving  professional qualifications. 

In the first stage, the task will be clarified and the concept of functionality and possibilities of  using the IT system will be determined. The project will then be developed in a form that is  useful for practical application, taking into account the expectations of end users. The model  set of assumptions and the description of the software structure will be complete only when  information about the anticipated and possible behavior of all elements of the module and  their relationship in the teaching processes is included. The result will be the creation of a  unified system model that plays the most important role in achieving the project’s goal. The  concept of the IT system for the needs of education will be based on a created interactive  educational module, in which the strategy of acquiring knowledge and skills in the field of  agriculture promotes active forms of education through practical problem solving instead of  classical memory mastery of facts. 

Thanks to these solutions, it will be possible to, for example, make the educational program  more attractive, improve the work of teaching units, improve the quality of education,  stimulate learning and working, and help human capital that reaches enterprises that use  similar solutions in economic practice and agricultural production processes. The potential long-term benefits of such a project include the possibility of further  cooperation and exchange of experience, knowledge and good practices. It is also learning  practical solutions in education, improving professional qualifications, establishing contacts  and developing or transferring innovations.
