Definition of Eduplan

EduPlan is a self-evaluation instrument based on the Irish project SPEAK and mainly foreseen for quality assurance and the evaluation of measurements taken in vocational education- and training centres. It supports quality in planning- and decisionmaking-processes, ensures the transfer of educational measurements and –initiatives, and leads to quantifiable results. The intention is to offer EduPlan in a broad range of use within the field of education and further education in all kinds of sectors of the vocational education providers. Through the ongoing application of EduPlan it becomes a basic planning tool for quality control. Quintessentially EduPlan leads to an increasing cooperation amongst educational providers.
In the course of the development of new network formed cooperation forms of educational institutions within the countries and Europe-wide the need for quality assurance measurements grows.



EduPlan takes a decisive further step, expands its application on the vocational education and uses the Irish instrument in a widened form: as a planning tool, an instrument for the implementation from the micro level of the participant, over the meso level of the offerer to the macro level of networked educational institutions. Thereby relevant data are collected on all stakeholder levels, and by the systematical integration of monitoring and evaluation data in the planning, learning processes are stimulated and the control process continuously improved. In Germany this happens on multiple levels from the apprentice to networked educational organizations (eg “Learning on Place”) to the strategic level of the in-house training companies and organizations who are locally dealing with the transition from school to work (eg “Münchner Kulturfabrik”). For the second year particularly the usability of the instruments will be tested and a business plan for the future use after the project period will be created.
