INTRODUCTIONThe study visits, which aim at better information and sensibilisation of educationspecialists and decision-makers to new developments of the education systems in thecountries participating in the action, are facing new expectations and demands.Instead of programmes which are too general or too wide and mixed in their approach,the organisers now tend to offer programmes which are better targeted, or whichconcentrate on a specific aspect of one of the themes of the programme.For this reason it was decided to issue this 12 th edition of the catalogue of study visitsfor education specialists and decision makers for the 2007 – 2008 programme. Theinformation sheets on the study visits, drafted on the basis of information forwarded bythe Member States, the EFTA countries or the new countries which participate in theprogramme, aim at helping the education specialists to make an appropriate choice.In March 2002, the European Council of Barcelona adopted the detailed workprogramme on the subject of the “Concrete Future Objectives of Education andTraining until 2010”. It is the Commission’s opinion that the study visits programme isreally appropriate to implement the objectives as defined by the Ministers. Thiscatalogue refers to the objectives and to activities for exchanging information. Ananalytical summary is attached to this catalogue. On pages 9 to 13 the reader will finda description of the expected approaches of the visits in relation with the workprogramme on “Concrete Future Objectives of Education and Training”.* **Les visites d’étude, qui visent à mieux informer et sensibiliser les spécialistes etdécideurs de l’éducation aux nouveaux éléments introduits dans les systèmeséducatifs dans les différents pays qui participent à l’action, sont confrontées à denouvelles attentes. S’écartant progressivement de programmes trop généraux ouayant des contenus relevant de plusieurs secteurs, les organisateurs tendentdésormais à offrir ces programmes mieux ciblés, ou qui se concentrent sur un aspectparticulier d’un des thèmes du programme.C’est pour cette raison que la douzième édition du catalogue des visites d’étude pourspécialistes et décideurs de l’éducation est présentée pour le programme 2007 –2008. Les fiches d’information sur les visites d’étude, rédigées sur base d’informationsfournies par les Etats membres, les pays de l’AELE ainsi que les nouveaux paysparticipant au programme, ont comme objectif d’aider les spécialistes de l’éducation àmieux orienter et cibler leur candidature.En Mars 2002 le Conseil Européen de Barcelona a adopté le programme de travaildétaillé au sujet des “Objectifs Futurs Concrets de l’Education et la Formation d’ici2010”. La Commission est d’avis que les visites d’étude constituent un programmetout à fait appropriée pour la mise en oeuvre des objectifs définis par les Ministres. Cecatalogue fait référence aux objectifs ainsi qu’aux activités d’échanges d’information.Un résumé analytique se trouve en annexe à ce catalogue. Aux pages 9 à 13 setrouve une description des approches attendues par rapport au programme de travailsur les “Objectifs Futurs Concrets de l’Education et la Formation”.3

EINFÜHRUNGDie Studienbesuche haben zum Ziel, Bildungsexperten und Entscheidungsträgerbesser zu informieren und zu sensibilisieren. Die Experten sehen sich kontinuierlichmit neuen Erwartungen und Herausforderungen konfrontiert, daher genießtWeiterbildung im Bildungssektor und das Aufzeigen von Entwicklungen in denBildungssystemen der teilnehmenden Ländern einen hohen Stellenwert. StattStudienprogrammen, die zu allgemein oder zu breit und uneinheitlich in ihrem Ansatzsind, bieten die Organisatoren nunmehr Programme an, die besser abgestimmt sindund sich nur auf einen spezifischen Aspekt der Themen des Programms beziehen.Aus diesem Grund wurde die 12. Ausgabe des Studienbesuchskatalogs für dasProgramm 2007 – 2008 veröffentlicht. Der Katalog wurde auf Basis von Informationsmaterialaus den Mitgliedsländern, den EFTA Ländern und den neuenTeilnehmerländer erstellt. Er ermöglicht den Bildungsexperten eine gute undausgewogene Wahl ihres Studienbesuchs zu treffen.Im Mai 2002 hat der Europäische Rat von Barcelona das detaillierte Arbeitsprogramm„Konkrete zukünftige Ziele der allgemeinen und beruflichen Bildung bis 2010“verabschiedet. Die Kommission vertritt die Meinung, dass das Studienbesuchsprogrammoptimal für die Implementierung dieser Ziele, die von den Ministern definiertwurden, geeignet ist. Der Katalog bezieht sich auf die Ziele und die Intention desInformations- und Erfahrungsaustauschs. Eine analytische Zusammenfassung derThemen ist im Anhang des Katalogs zu finden. Auf den Seiten 9 bis 13 werden dieerwarteten Inhalte der Besuche in Bezug auf das Arbeitsprogramm „Konkretezukünftige Ziele der allgemeinen und beruflichen Bildung“ beschrieben.5

Note for the readerEach information sheet of this catalogue contains the data, which should enable thecandidates to choose the study visit which suits them best: the theme, the organiser,the period, the objectives, the programme description, the working language,… Mostinformation sheets also contain the address of the web page of the organiser, thusgiving way to more detailed information. Special attention should be paid to theworking language. The first language mentioned is the language of the country visited.The second language is the real working language of the study visit. Severalorganisers also filled out a third language. They would offer linguistic support in thislanguage. This language will thus not be the working language of the programme.Finally, for some study visits the organisers also provide additional linguistic support inanother language. It goes without saying that candidates should preferably have agood command of the working language of the study visit, so as to get maximal benefitof their participation in the programme.Avis au lecteurChaque fiche de ce catalogue contient les données de base que devraient permettreaux candidats de choisir la visite d’étude qui leur convient le mieux: le thème,l’organisateur, la période, les objectifs, une description du programme, les langues detravail, … La majorité des fiches contient également l’adresse de la page web del’organisateur, ce qui permet d’accéder à davantage d’informations.Les langues de travail méritent une attention particulière. La première languementionnée est la langue du pays visité. La deuxième langue est la vraie langue detravail de la visite d’étude. Certains organisateurs ont également rempli une troisièmelangue. Ils fourniront un support linguistique pour cette langue. Cette troisième languene sera donc pas la langue véhiculaire du programme. Enfin, pour quelques visitesd’étude, les organisateurs ont prévu un support linguistique pour une autre languecomplémentaire. Il va de soi que de préférence les candidats maîtrisent la langue detravail des visites d’étude, afin de tirer le profit maximal de leur participation auprogramme.Für den LeserJedes Informationsblatt dieses Katalogs umfasst sämtliche Daten, die es denKandidaten erlauben, den best geeigneten Studienbesuch auszuwählen: das Thema,den Organisator, den Termin, die Ziele, die Programmbeschreibung, dieArbeitssprache, … Die meisten Informationsblätter beinhalten auch die Internetseitedes Organisators, wodurch der Zugang zu detaillierter Information möglich wird.Spezielle Sorgfalt sollte auf die Arbeitssprache gelegt werden. Die erste erwähnteSprache ist die Landessprache des Studienbesuchorts. Erst die zweite Sprache ist diewirkliche Arbeitssprache. Einige Organisatoren füllen auch die dritte Sprache aus. Indieser Sprache können die Organisatoren sprachliche Unterstützung leisten. DieseSprache ist allerdings nicht auch Arbeitssprache. In manchen Studienbesuchenstellen die Organisatoren außerdem zusätzliches Unterrichtsmaterial in einer weiterenFremdsprache zur Verfügung. Es ist selbstverständlich, dass die Kandidaten die ersteArbeitssprache gut beherrschen sollten, um optimal von ihrem Studienaufenthalt zuprofitieren.7

LINKING UP WITH THE WORK PROGRAMMEOF THE OBJECTIVES REPORTIt is quite natural to establish links between the study visits foreducation specialists and decision makers and the “Workprogramme on the objectives in education and training up to 2010”.The participants are partners by excellence to exchange experienceon good practice for almost all of the 13 objectives. So it is logicalthat room should be made for this type of exchanges in theprogrammes of the study visits and to report on this. But of course,the study visits are much more than that. They should continue to bea multilateral learning tool on educational developments throughoutEurope, so as to realise the main objectives of this action.1. ScopeThe themes of the study visits for education specialists and decision makers aim atstudying one or more aspects of the education system of the visited country. For some ofthe themes there is no reference at all to the Objectives Work Programme. Very often,the scope of the study visit is much wider than what is asked for in the Objectives report,but organisers are invited to pay enough attention to its topics for exchanging experience,whenever possible.2. Reference to the objectives report and themes for exchanging experienceMost of the information sheets on the study visits make a reference to the appropriateobjective. Further information on the specific themes for exchanging experience canbe found in the table at the end of the catalogue.3. Inclusion of these themes in the study visits programmeThe organisers are invited to check if these themes for exchanging experience can beincluded in their programmes and what attention can be given to them. In most cases,this exercise will enable them to add an extra dimension to their programmes and it isexpected that participants exchange information on the situation in their respectivecountries.4. Reporting elementsIt is expected that the reports of participants will contain a specific section referring tothe themes for exchanging experience of the Objectives Report. These topics may bediscussed throughout the week’s programme and a final format should be discussedduring the closing session of the study visit.9

RELIER AVEC LE PROGRAMME DE TRAVAILDU RAPPORT SUR LES OBJECTIFSIl est tout à fait naturel d'établir des liens entre les visites d'étudepour spécialistes et décideurs de l’éducation et "le programme detravail sur les objectifs de l’éducation et la formation d’ici 2010". Lesparticipants sont des partenaires par excellence pour échangerl'expérience sur la bonne pratique pour presque tous les 13objectifs. Ainsi, il est logique d’offrir de l’espace pour ce typed'échanges dans les programmes des visites d'étude et de produiredes rapports sur cette expérience. Mais évidemment, les visitesd'étude sont beaucoup plus que ça. Elles devraient rester un outild'apprentissage multilatéral sur les développements scolaires dansl'ensemble de l'Europe, afin de réaliser les objectifs principaux decette action.1. ObjectifLes thèmes des visites d'étude pour s spécialistes et décideurs de l’éducation visent àétudier un ou plusieurs aspects du système d'enseignement du pays visité. Pourquelques-uns des thèmes il n'y a aucune référence du tout au programme de travail surles objectifs. Très souvent, le champ d'application de la visite d'étude est beaucoup pluslarge que ce qui est demandé dans le rapport sur les objectifs, mais les organisateurssont invités à prêter assez d'attention à ses sujets pour échanger l'expérience, autant quepossible.2. La référence au rapport sur les objectifs et les thèmes pour échangerl'expérienceLa plupart des fiches d'informations sur des visites d'étude font référence aux objectifsappropriés. Des informations complémentaires sur les thèmes spécifiques pouréchanger l'expérience peuvent être consultées au tableau à la fin du catalogue.3. Inclusion de ces thèmes dans le programme de visites d'étudeLes organisateurs sont invités à vérifier si ces thèmes pour échanger l'expériencepeuvent être inclus dans leurs programmes et quelle attention leur peut être accordée.Dans la plupart des cas, cet exercice leur permettra d'ajouter une dimensionsupplémentaire à leurs programmes et on s'attend à ce que les participants échangentdes informations sur la situation dans leurs pays respectifs.4. Elements de rapportageOn s'attend à ce que les rapports des participants contiennent une section spécifiquefaisant référence aux thèmes d’échange d'expérience du rapport sur les objectifs. Cessujets peuvent être examinés au cours de tout le programme de la semaine et unformat final devrait être examiné pendant la session de clôture de la visite d'étude.11

VERBINDUNG ZU DEM ARBEITSPROGRAMMDES ZIELBERICHTSEs ist bedeutend, dass Verbindungen zwischen denStudienbesuchen für Bildungsexperten und Entscheidungsträgerund dem Arbeitsprogramm „Konkrete zukünftige Ziele derallgemeinen und beruflichen Bildung bis 2010“ geschaffen werden.Die Teilnehmer sind Partner par excellence, um Erfahrungen zu bestpractice Beispielen betreffs aller 13 Ziele auszutauschen. Daher istes sehr wichtig, auch den Austausch über diese Studienbesuche zugewährleisten und darüber zu berichten. Das Hauptziel dieser Aktionist allerdings, ein multilaterales Lerntool für Bildungssysteme inganz Europa zu etablieren.1. ZweckDie Themen der Studienbesuche für Bildungsexperten und Entscheidungsträger habenzum Ziel, ein oder mehr Aspekte des Bildungssystems des besuchten Landes kennen zulernen. Einige Themen haben überhaupt keinen Bezug zu dem Arbeitsprogramm vonBarcelona. Oft ist der Inhalt viel breiter als in dem Zielbericht. Das wichtigste istallerdings, vor allem den internationalen Erfahrungsaustausch zu fördern.2. Bezug zu dem Zielbericht und den Themen für den ErfahrungsaustauschDie meisten Informationsblätter enthalten einen Hinweis zu dem entsprechenden Ziel.Weitere Informationen zu den spezifischen Themen für den Erfahrungsaustauschkönnen im Anhang des Katalogs gefunden werden.3. Einbezug dieser Themen in das StudienbesuchsprogrammDie Organisatoren werden dazu eingeladen, Verknüpfungen zu den Themen für denErfahrungsaustausch zu ihrem Arbeitsprogramm herzustellen und den Stellenwertdieser festzulegen. In den meisten Fällen, gestattet ihnen diese Vorgangsweise eineextra Dimension in ihrem Programm einzuführen. Die Teilnehmer werden ersucht, ihreErfahrungen in ihrer Heimat weiterzugeben.4. ReportingEs wird erwartet, dass die Teilnehmerberichte einen separaten Bereich enthalten, dersich auf die Themen für den Erfahrungsaustausch aus dem Zielbericht beziehen.Diese Inhalte könnten während des Wochenprogramms diskutiert werden und einEndformat sollte am Ende des Studienbesuchs beschlossen werden.13

Het gaat om alle kennis en vaardigheden om viageschreven taal te communiceren en informatie te verwerken (bv. ook omgaan met cijfers, werken met de computer).Het werken aan ‘geletterdheid’ wordt het best verruimd tot het werken aan ‘sleutelcompetenties’ of life skills, namelijkalle basisvaardigheden die volwassenen nodig hebben om breed inzetbaar te zijn op de arbeidsmarkt en om goed tefunctioneren in het maatschappelijk leven. Trainingen voor geletterdheid en sleutelcompetenties die functioneelingebed zijn in een technische opleiding of toegepast worden op taken in het bedrijf, leiden tot betere resultaten.Erzal een instrument worden ontwikkeld dat een snelle, diepgaande en systematische screening van de geletterdheidvan kansengroepen mogelijk maakt. Op basis daarvan kan worden doorverwezen voor een intensieve opleiding entrajectbegeleiding.Via bezoeken aan het Departement Onderwijs en Vorming aan onderwijsinstellingen, bedrijven,opleidingsinstellingen en gesprekken met ambtenaren, experts, directeurs en leerkrachten wordt een inzicht gegevenin deze thematiek.One of the points of special interest of the Flemish Government is to increase the literacy of the citizens. Literacy ismore than “knowing how to read and write”. It’s about all knowledge and skills required to communicate via writtenlanguage and to assimilate information (for example dealing with figures, working with a computer). Working on‘literacy’ needs to be broaden to working on ‘key competences’ or ‘life skills’, namely all basic competences adultsneed to have in order to be employable (in a broad sense) on the labour market and to function well in the society.Training for literacy and key competences which are embedded in a technical education or which are applied in tasksin the company lead to better results. An instrument will be developed to ensure a fast, profound and systematicscreening of the literacy of groups at risk. On this basis an intensive training and guidance can be suggested. Thistheme is clarified during visits to the Education Department and schools, companies, training institutes and throughdiscussions with civil servants, experts, heads of institutions, teachers and trainers www.ond.vlaanderen.be13 February 2007Page 55 of 273CENTRAL SERVICE EUROPE - Study visits for education specialistswww.studyvisits.net

In dit kader moeten de EU-Lidstaten inspanningen leveren omalgemene basis- en ICT-vaardigheden te stimuleren.Cruciaal is dat leerlingen leren hoe ze hun leerproces zelf inhanden kunnen nemen en over de vaardigheden beschikken om levenslang hun competenties op punt te stellen. Inhet zelfgestuurd leren speelt ICT een belangrijke rol.Het Vlaamse Ministerie van Onderwijs en Vorming werkte eenbeleidsplan uit waarin de verschillende initiatieven en projecten rond ICT vanuit een duidelijke visie worden gebundeld.Dat beleid moet de nodige voorwaarden scheppen opdat iedereen de basiscompetenties voor ICT kan verwerven.Deze basiscompetenties voor ICT werden geïntegreerd in de vakoverschrijdende eindtermen en ontwikkelingsdoelenvoor het lager onderwijs en de eerste graad secundair onderwijs. Via bezoeken aan het Departement Onderwijs enVorming, aan scholen en organisaties, gesprekken met ambtenaren, experts, schoolhoofden en leerkrachten wordteen inzicht gegeven in deze thematiek. Centraal in dit bezoek staan de uitwerking van de ICT-competenties en hetondersteunend beleid waaronder initiatieven rond de verspreiding van digitale leermiddelen, open source software enbreedbandapplicaties.The thirteen objectives of the ‘Concrete Future Objectives of Education and Training’ are mainly aimed at theimprovement of skills of youngsters and adults. In this framework the EU Member States need to put in a great effort tostimulate general basic and ICT competences.Pupils need to learn how to take control of their own learning processand to dispose the skills to adjust their competences during the rest of their lives. ICT plays an important role in thisprocess.The Flemish Ministry of Education and Training worked out a policy plan, starting from a clear vision, inwhich the different initiatives and projects on ICT were clustered. This policy needs to create the conditions in order foreverybody acquiring the basic competences for ICT. These basic competences were integrated in cross-curricularattainment targets and developmental objectives for the primary education and the first grade of the secondaryeducation. This theme is clarified during visits to the Department of Education and Training, schools andorganisations, and through discussions with civil servants, experts, head teachers and teachers. Central topics of thisvisit are the development of ICT-competences and the policy support, including the initiatives on the dissemination ofdigital teaching materials, open source software and broadband applications. www.ond.vlaanderen.be13 February 2007Page 65 of 273CENTRAL SERVICE EUROPE - Study visits for education specialistswww.studyvisits.net

Our effort to modify the presentconception of classwork was led by educational reforms that are in progress in the Czech Republic. We are working onthe accomplishment of these aims, i.e. to change the system of classwork in a shift from knowledge to competences, inability to search for relevant information and to use it in accordance with the subject matter, and to prepare students toaccept lifelong education philosophy by means of e-learning, for example. We would like to do benchmarking and meetmethods used at some other schools or educational institutions and thus exchange information on efficiency of chosenapproaches and methods. Since our institution is just one of a few secondary schools in the country with suchprogramme, we long for making a comparison in the European context. NET OFFICE Ltd. School, teaching IT, willalso be involved (presentation of methods used during classwork of different subjects and workshops, e.g. usage ofAutoCad, etc).

These periods may last several weeks andmay include social problems as well as a slide in academic performance. Research suggests that problems are morelikely to occur during a transitional year, such as moving from elementary to middle school, or middle school to highschool. Some adolescents are able to get through this time with minimal assistance from their parents or teachers. Itmay be enough for a parent to be available simply to listen and suggest coping strategies, provide a supportive homeenvironment, and encourage the child’s participation in school activities.However, when the difficulties last longerthan a single grading period, or are linked to a long-term pattern of poor school performance or behaviour problems,parents and teachers need to interevene. As a result, we are planning to find out how to overcome the school failure bythe help of some academicians from European countries.The province of Karaman is located to the South of centralAnatolian Region and is between Konya-Icel-Antalya provinces.

Our children are exposed to many different environmental issues, not only through school andtelevision, but also in their every day lives. For example, children now spend longer in traffic queues on the way toschool, and winter storms increasingly threaten homes on the coast. Scientists and politicians urge us to addressenvironmental issues but persuading ordinary people to change their way of life is a challenge. This visit will focuson how pupils must love their environment if they are to learn effectively. Both are essential if children are to choose tolive in a more sustainable way now and in later life. We will look at environmental and sustainability education. Wewish to share best practice as we explore ways in which children, teachers, whole schools, and decision makersrespond to urgent environmental issues.

An insgesamt 44 bayerischen Schulen wurde daher nicht nur erprobt, sondern gleichzeitig auchprozessbegleitend evaluiert, inwieweit bereits vorhandene gesetzliche Spielräume besser genutzt und möglicherweisenoch erweitert werden können. Die thematischen Schwerpunkte reichten dabei von der Qualität von Unterricht undErziehung über Personalmanagement und Personalführung bis hin zu inner- und außerschulischen Partnerschaftenund der Verantwortung für das Schulbudget. Vor diesem Hintergrund bietet das Seminar mit Besuchen vonSchulen und anderen Institutionen des bayerischen Bildungswesens einen Überblick über die konkreten Maßnahmenim Rahmen des Modellversuchs MODUS21und zeigt darüber hinaus, wie diese innovativen Impulse mittlerweile auchflächendeckend wirksam geworden sind.The results of the comparative survey PISA represent a turning point in German educational policy to which the federalGerman state of Bavaria has also responded with a variety of measures.The Bavarian Ministry of Education andleading representatives of industry have joined forces and initiated the pilot project MODUS21, which is based on theassumption that more independence and individual responsibility will enable schools to increase their professional andpedagogical quality.The assumption that the already existing legal scope can be used more efficiently and possiblyeven extended within the educational system was put to the test and simultaneously evaluated at 44 Bavarianschools.Here a wide range of areas was assessed: the professional and the pedagogical competence of the teachingstaff, the personnel management of the principals, internal teamwork, cooperative partnerships with other schools aswell as the management of the school budget. Against this background, the seminar offers an overview of themeasures adopted within the pilot project MODUS21 by offering an opportunity to visit Bavarian schools and othereducational institutions.

The cooperation aims to improve the quality of teaching in schools and child-care. Teachers and decisionsmakers learn from eachother when they put different perspectives and different experiences to use. They perform“learning visits” which can be explained as visits where teachers and decision makers go to schools in the othermunicipalities and observe the activities in the classroom. Afterwords they have a discussion where they analyse andsearch for patterns together with the teacher. The cooperation that started as a project has been very succesful andhas shown significant results in the quality of the education. ALP is now an integrated part of the activity in the threemunicipalities and it has received great attention among other municipalities of Sweden. During the study visit theguests will participate as observers during “learning visits” in primary, seconday and upper secondary school.

Linking up themes for education specialists and decision makers with the “Report on the ConcreteFuture Objectives in Education and Training”In the following table, the point of departure is the list of existing study visit themes. The assumption is that this list remains valid, since thethemes where either approved or requested by the participating countries.The next step was to weight these themes against the 13 objectives of the objectives report, and the possible themes for exchangingexperience. This leads to the following conclusions:‣ There is a high degree of convergence between the existing list of study visit themes and the 13 objectives.‣ For 10 themes, there is no identifiable corresponding objective. Obviously, the reason for this is that the nature of thesethemes is quite topical as for example education statistics.‣ For 4 objectives, there is no corresponding study visit theme. The reason for this is that these objectives do not fit in theframework of the existing scheme, either because they primarily deal with vocational training (objective 3.2) or that theirscope is very general (Objectives 2.2, 3.4 and 3.5).‣ For all themes, the number of topics for exchanging experience is much higher than the ones mentioned in the objectivesreport. This must of course be highlighted in our communication with the partners involved, otherwise the outcome of thestudy visits would become poorer.274

Lien entre les thèmes pour spécialistes et décideurs de l'éducation et le “Rapport sur les Objectifsfuturs concrets de l’Education et de la Formation”Dans la table qui suit, le point de départ est la liste des thèmes tel qu’elle existe. On considère que cette liste reste valide, puisque tous lesthèmes sont approuvés par le Conseil ou par les Etats membres individuels.L’étape suivante était de comparer ces thèmes avec les 13 objectifs du “rapport sur les objectifs” et avec les thèmes possibles pour l’échanged’expériences contenus dans celui-ci. Ceci nous amène aux conclusions suivantes:‣ Il y a un grand degré de convergence entre la liste des thèmes et les 13 objectifs.‣ Pour 10 des thèmes il n’y a pas un objectif correspondant. En l’occurrence, il s’agit là de thèmes très spécifiques (éducationd’enfants migrants et tsiganes, statistiques de l’éducation, etc…)‣ Pour 4 des objectifs, il n’y pas de thème correspondant. La raison est que ces objectifs n’ont pas de lien avec cette action,parce qu’il s’agit de sujets liés à la formation professionnelle (objectif 3.2.), ou bien qu’ils soient d’une nature très générale(objectifs 2.2, 3.4 et 3.5).‣ Pour tous les thèmes, le nombre de sujets pour l’échange d’expérience est beaucoup plus élevé que ceux mentionnés dansle rapport sur les objectifs. Ceci doit être mis au clair dans nos contacts avec les partenaires concernés, pour éviter que lerésultat des visites d’étude diminue.279

Verbindung der Studienbesuchsthemen mit dem Bericht “Konkrete zukünftige Ziele derallgemeinen und beruflichen Bildung”Der Ausgangspunkt der folgenden Tabelle ist die Liste der bestehenden Studienbesuchsthemen. Es liegt die Annahme zugrunde,dass diese Liste weiterhin gültig ist, da diese Themen weiterhin von den teilnehmenden Ländern bestätigt und nachgefragt wurden.Der nächste Schritt war die Gewichtung dieser Themen im Bezug auf die 13 Ziele des Zielberichts und die Festlegung dermöglichen Themen für den Erfahrungsaustausch. Diese Vorgehensweise führt zu den nachfolgenden Schlussfolgerungen:‣ Es besteht einer hoher Grad der Übereinstimmung zwischen der bereits bestehenden Liste von Themen und den 13 Zielen.‣ Für 10 Themen gibt es kein eindeutig entsprechendes Ziel. Diese Tatsache resultiert aus der sehr engen inhaltlichen Naturdieser Themen wie beispielsweise das Thema Bildungsstatistik.‣ Für 4 Ziele gibt es kein entsprechendes Thema. Der Grund liegt darin, dass diese Ziele nicht in den Rahmen desexistierenden Schemas fallen, entweder weil sie hauptsächlich mit beruflicher Ausbildung (Ziel 3.2) zu tun haben oder weilsie zu allgemein gehalten sind (Ziele 2.2, 3.4, 3.5).‣ Für alle Themen des Schemas, ist die Anzahl der Themen für den Erfahrungsaustausch sehr viel höher als die, die in demZielbericht erwähnt werden. Dies muss vor allem bei der Kommunikation mit den involvierten Partnern betont werden, sonstwürde das Ergebnis der Studienbesuche beträchtlich geringer ausfallen.285
