Abstract:

 

Background: At the end of Vocational Secondary Education students should be able to solve
 authentic problems individually and in group. Powerful learning environments could enforce these
 learning processes. Research question: “Which critical desirable design principles can we define
 to create a powerful learning environment in Secondary Vocational Education ? Method: We
 combine different perspectives of teachers, students and researchers to build a shared model of
 learning environments, which will be perceived as more powerful by all stakeholders. Based on
 literature we selected design principles followed by organizing focus groups with teacher
 educators and teachers to further adapt these principles.
 Preliminary results: We determined eight design principles: Authenticity learning environment,
 differentiation, adapted evaluation, self-directed learning, problem solving, teamwork, shared
 responsibility design learning environment and (labour) identity development. Each principle
 has been further clarified in indicators. This study is part of a larger research project in
 developing teacher competences in creating powerful learning environments in Vocational
 Secondary Education.
