Within the research project Use of media in the training of welding (MESA) a didactical concept supporting learning with digital media was developed which is applied in vocational training, corporate education and training centers as well as in the certificate assigning professional association. Welding simulators, as a tool for teaching and training, provide new chances for the design of digitally supported learning situations. In this context the present contribution introduces a didactic concept based on the established method of learn and work assignments. It is implemented by using a blended learning approach and by learning in an activity-oriented way with support of an app as well as an E-Learning-platform. The results of a subsequent trial and evaluation phase allow conclusions to be drawn regarding the possible achievements using the welding simulator in vocational and professional training but also which limitations can be observed from the perspective of learners and trainers. In this context, a flexible adaptability of the learn and work assignments proved to be positive particularly in regards to boundary conditions of the testing sites, such as the available infrastructure and different approaches as well as priorities that were pursued by diverse target groups. On the other hand constraints can be seen in e.g. group sizes and in potential for improvement regarding adjustments to the simulator. As an outlook, further demands arise on the required competences of skilled workers and accordingly also on vocational and professional training regarding the development of prevailing production technology including digitalized solutions such as automatized welding processes supported by robots. Therefore an interface for the integrative training of welding and robot programming and handling can be established perspectively by creating a link between industrial robots and AR welding simulation where learning of fundamentals can initially take place in a protected AR environment. |
