The teachers find in our daily work with students of Vocational Training that exists a great number of students which start their education enrolling in Training Courses, specially in Intermediate Cycle, and after a few months started the course they abandon their education in it. This problem generally affects all Training Courses. Although in our case we are going to focus at the Training Intermediate Cycle at Electromechanical Vehicle. This problem is serious for different reasons. On the one hand, the students abandon their education addressing to the labor market that nowadays is not able to offer them a job, and in the cases of a job is acquired, unfortunately, it is usually a temporary job or a called "garbage contract”. Sometimes, elapsed a time and once the student meets the harsh reality of joblessness, he tries to reincorporate to the education at Vocational Training. However, in many cases this is not possible or it is but in really difficult conditions either because the student has now loads and family responsibilities that are incompatible with school hours, either because it feels hook at the level of basic knowledge and study habits, etc. This situation leads us to ask the question as teachers, what can we do to help the reducing at the high number of dropouts? And one of the possible answers, within our sphere, is the conduct motivating and meaningful activities for the students. Ensure that the student wishes to be studied in its course, with his partners, who want to attend class because they feel that what they do in class is useful, that he is learning and that the issues and activities that works will be of interest. Obviously, this requires an effort from the teacher to, in what marks the curriculum, to design motivating activities with the use of resources that make it easier to students for the understanding of concepts and the implementation of practices for all that we ask the following objectives in this project: -Create a new teaching methodology to the development of electronic books by the students. -Establish a significant group of practices in the professional family, in this case transport and vehicle maintenance. -Create a virtual library with the elaborated books. - Establish a work methodology with which it was possible to learn by working, always a real work. -Network with the project partners to share knowledge, experiences and establish projects of mobility for students and teachers -An element key is the contribution of partners from their experience in other training systems such as Dual training, which we consider essential to establish a network.
The following objectives have been proposed in the project: - To create a new teaching methodology with the development of electronic books by students. - To establish a group of significant practices into the professional family, in this case, transport and vehicle maintenance, in electronic book format. - To create a virtual library with the books realized. - To establish a work methodology with which you learn by working, always real work. - To network with the project partners to share knowledge, experiences and establish mobility projects for students and teachers. A fundamental element in the project has been the contribution of the partners from their experience in other training systems such as Dual training, which we consider essential to establish a network. This project involves a vocational training center fromCzech Republic (Stredni skola polytechnicka, Olomouc), one of Poland (ZSSiLnr2 w Warszawie), one of Croatia (Elektrostrojarska obrtnička škola), one of Estonia (Kuressaare Ametikool), one Italian company ( AUTORIPARAZIONI MULTICAR S) and the Association of Technical and Secondary Education Teachers from Galicia who acts as coordinator of the project. The content of the project is based on designing a series of significant practices into the family of Transport and Vehicle Maintenance with a methodology of learning by working and using the development of electronic books of these practices as another motivating element for the student. The work has been done about: Use of carbon fiber in the repair of the bodywork and other vehicles Repair and maintenance of engines Thematic of transmission and braking in vehicles Diagnosis of vehicles. Chassis of vehicles. Each partner has carried out a series of tasks, has received online training about the edition with electronic books by the coordinating partner, who always supported their tasks. The partners have implemented the new didactic in the classrooms with the highest level of school failure. An important diffusion of the results has been carried out in the educational centers and companies, once the project has been finished, we continue working with the tools used during the project, which we consider that in a long term it will create an important impact in the students and teachers of the partner centers. The sustainability of the project is ensured by continuing the use of tools for editing books and the willingness of the partners to continue working on another project that has as a starting point the development of all products in electronic book format. It will establish a short-term benefits with the use of the editor in the day-to-day of the classes and in a long term incorporating more groups to this didactic each year.
