The current training of facilitators and validators
We need to know some matters about facilitators and validators today:
- What training does it exist for them?
- What skills promote these trainings?
- How do facilitators and validators work and organise?
These questions are important to develop the following results of the project.
We need to collect data from validators and facilitators that currently work in these jobs
The skills that facilitators and validators need
A skill is an ability that somebody needs to do something.
The survey from the result 1 will give us information about the skills that facilitators and validators need for their jobs.
We need to organise them to build a curriculum afterwards.
A curriculum is a document where stands the subjects that a student has to learn in a course.
The curriculum that facilitator and validators should study
A curriculum is a document where stands the subjects that any student has to learn and pass to obtain a degree or an official qualification.
A curriculum is necessary to organise a course. A curriculum offers the information about what are the goals of each subject, how many hours each subject last, what are the teaching methods and the teaching materials required.
The materials for the courses
Students need materials to learn the subjects in a course. These materials can be guides, Power Point presentations, videos, exercises or exams. There are several kind of resources.
These resources have to be suitable for the students’ needs, for instance, they have to talk about the matters with a clear language and be organised to learn them easily. There could be also the need to include guidelines for teachers to advise them how to teach the subjects with these materials.
The evaluation of the materials
We are going to create a course for people with reading difficulties who want to be validators. It is necessary to test that the materials for the course are suitable and understandable for them.
We want that our materials are useful and the students are successful learning them.
The certification of the training
The project has the aim to create a certified course for validators and facilitators. There are some courses for facilitators and validators, but without an official certification. A certified course is important, because companies look for workers with certified studies. A certified course is also a guarantee that this course follows a proper methodology.
