ÖJSZIGK

 

Our school provides for a number of specialities to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge to nearly 700 students. Our trainings relate to jobs wanted in Hungary, for example in electronics and in engineering professions. Our informatics training is of great importance where we train specialists on the area of network technologies in high school classes and we also offer trainings after a high school graduation. Unprecedented of Hungarian schools, we are in a partnership relation with two international firms. We are a reference school of Novell who are prominent on the area of server operating systems, and we are a local Cisco networking academy. Cisco is a market-leader in the field of the network devices.

Roles:
We are committed in the application of the pedagogic methods and most modern technological devices. It is important for us that our students have the technical knowledge which can be applied in the practice. Our teachers pay high attention to the development of skills and competences. To the achievement of this aim our educators attend vocational and pedagogic professional trainings. We want to continue this ongoing process in the course of the project. Our school has already taken steps towards the application of e-learning methods and devices happening in vocational training. Eight interactive boards are at our disposal and we are planning to purchase additional ones. The operation of an educational portal, which would complement the educational process going on in the lesson, is our aim beside all these. The necessary material and technical conditions are going to be provided by the school.

BJMSZ

 

Our near sixty years old medium-size vocational secondary school serves 427 students from 14 till 20. In the first four academic years we run programmes in so called profession groups (at the moment in information technology and in electrotechnics-electronics, beforehand also in machinery). Mostly according to the needs of our partners (big companies like Magyar Suzuki Zrt, Richter Gedeon NyRt. etc.) we offer various two-year vocational training programmes for students after their final examination. Some of our vocational training programmes are not directly based on a specific company needs. Our school is a Local Academy in the Cisco Networking Academy Program (CCNA). We joined to the programme among the first ones. We continuously develop the hardware and software background and our methodology.

Roles:
Teaching the Net Generation is a real intellectual challenge. Besides we face with new situations like decreasing previous motivation, knowledge and skills of students. We have to change formerly best used pedagogical methods. Even the organization of the teaching-learning process must be different from the one used a decade before. We think that besides the endeavour of some teachers individually to improve their pedagogical practice, some staff level improvement is necessary. The adoption of some best practice of others seems to be the most effective way. It can happen in the form of an in service training. It must be based on the practice, relevant to the teacher’s specific task and own students. We think that the project offers opportunity to several of our colleagues to become even better and more efficient teacher.

The school contains secondary grammar school (Hungarian and Hungarian – English bilingual), vocational secondary and technical school (Hungarian and Hungarian - German bilingual) and school of catering. The students are between 14 and 21. They come mainly from Győr and the nearby villages.  So the school is multicoloured in respect of catering, age, geographical and social background, as well. All of these respects make the school suitable for wild sampling in respect of a given test. The ICT environment of the school is above the Hungarian mean.

SZIGSZ

 

737 students learn at our school in different grammar and technical classes. In our grammar school section students attend either classes specialised in foreign languages, arts and humanities, or information technology. Our technical section offers our students vehicle electronics technician, electro mechanic and telecommunication trainings. Our task is determined by education based on competences and structural reorganisation of vocational training. We consider acquiring and using the most modern ICT technology and up-to-date pedagogical methods necessary.

Roles:

Three members of our staff have already taken part in an E-learning – ‘the school of Future training. On the basis of experience gained there we ensure that further 5-10 teachers will attend similar trainings, we will use the electronic material on lessens with the help of ‘Moodle frame-system’ set up on our own school server, and will also make a study of our experience. We are ready to disseminate our findings, results and benefits in regional and national levels (eg. On our website or different programmes). We will also cooperate with our partners and use the results of the projects in our syllabus/pedagogical programme. We hope that process will contribute to our development in methodology, as well.
