| Summary: | In order to prepare graduates with "competences to act", vocational education and training require new approaches that enable the future employees to act independently in real work situations. The work-process-oriented curriculum and action-oriented learning could be considered as such a kind of curricula and a pedagogic method. However, how to provide computer-mediate scaffoldings to support online action-oriented learning within a work-process-oriented curriculum is still a challenge. This paper reports our work to scaffold online action-oriented learning by specifying an integrated learning-work process using a scripting language as a formal learning-work process model, called a unit of learning. Such a process model can be interpreted by a language-compatible learning platform to guide and foster the learning-work activities through configuring the learning-work environment dynamically. This paper also reports a case study conducted at a high-level vocational school. The results reveal that the computer-mediated scaffoldings in our process-oriented learning platform are useful to support online action-oriented learning. |
