Designing training modules in dualised training preparation in a way that is conducive to development

Although the flexibilisation and permeability of vocational education and training have long been permanent objectives of the educational policy agenda, endeavours in this regard have thus far been mainly directed at dual VET. An identical need has, however, also been identified in the area of vocational and training preparation, particularly for young people who are not (yet) able to manage the transition to dual VET. This article presents findings from the QBi project, during which training modules for dualised training preparation were piloted and adjusted at various school locations in North Rhine-Westphalia. The main question which arises is how greater curricular, pedagogical and didactic flexibilisation can be achieved in order to allow scope for individualisation and subject orientation.
