SELFIE WBL Pilot Country Report: Montenegro
Scekic, Dragutin
European Training Foundation
The pilot of SELFIE for work-based learning (SELFIE WBL) in Montenegro is part of a multi-country initiative. SELFIE WBL is a self-reflection tool for schools seeking to improve their digital capacity. It has been developed by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC). The JRC has organised the overall pan-European pilot of SELFIE WBL, while the European Forum for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (EfVET) has coordinated the pilot in France, Germany, Hungary and Poland. The European Training Foundation (ETF) has coordinated the pilot in four partner countries: Georgia, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey. The SELFIE WBL pilot sought to explore opportunities for additional and more specific support to bolster vocational education and training, and to determine how the tool could be used purposefully in VET and WBL (apprenticeship and dual VET). To this end, the tool was expanded and further developed to take into consideration the schools' cooperation with employers in work-based learning environments. The task was to pilot the SELFIE WBL tool in Montenegro in close cooperation with national stakeholders--the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports (MoESCS), the Chamber of Economy and the Montenegrin Employers' Federation--while taking into account the specific features of Montenegro and respecting the current foundations of its strategic development of education, especially VET education, in order to produce a significant upgrade of the existing SELFIE tool within the European framework for promoting digital-age learning in educational organisations. The pilot results and related analysis have provided evidence of the usefulness of the initiative and opened up the possibility of further improving digital competences and embedding digital technologies in teaching, learning and assessment both in schools and in companies involved in WBL.
