Teaching and learning microcontrollers via PicBasicPro(PBP) language in VET

Description

Context/background of the project; Our project was based on the improvement of electronics´ training. “Electronics'' was considered especially in regards of the design and engineering and because of the fundamental changes in the production of industrial technology and, therefore, vocational education it had.Electronics, especially micro controlling, is essential for today´s technology as digital devices and robotics are widely used in all fields. By means of our project, we intended to address the issues, described below:-There was a deficiency of equipment in microcontroller applications such as development kits and not enough application to the VET curriculum.-We tried to solve the complicity of the existing development kits.-We solved the problems that both students and teachers encountered during the application of microcontroller in VET schools.-We set up cooperation with institutions and partners from across Europe.-We addressed the need of further qualification in electronics to fulfill companies´ needs of staff. Objectives; As we implemented our project, Our concrete objectives for this partnership were emphasized as below;-We got information about the use of microcontrollers in Vocational education,-We learnt about the PicBassicPro language and different types of equipment which were used in education,-We found out about the microcontroller applications used in industry,-We visited the local companies which were very important in the field of microcontrollers in the international meetings,-We developed teachers' and students’ professional skills and job vision,-We compared the various educational systems and training methods of the participating schools and exchanged best practices,-We introduced the microcontroller models each partner prepared to the other participants during the visit in each host country,-We provided the sense of qualified manpower to both teachers and students,-We increased awareness of the importance of microcontrollers throughout the Europe,-We improved the quality of teaching and learning on microcontrollers lessons,-We promoted intercultural awareness and reinforced European values (demolition of prejudices, xenophobia, cultural differences). Number and profile of participating organisations: The number of participating organisations was 6 VET schools and institutions in the projects. In all partners’ schools, students are learning microcontrollers at electronic, automation, electrical, ICT departments.Gölbaşı MTAL(Turkey) Liceul Tehnologic Grigore (Romania) EPRALIMA (Portugal ) HETEL (Spain)The 2nd EK of Piraeus (Greece) IPIAS G: GIORGI (Italy) Description of undertaken main activities;During the project, main activities below were realized:A1: Activation of the project team and set up of dissemination channels; (Logo, Flyer, Dropbox, twitter, YouTube, Facebook ):A2: Preparing the project web page (www.pbpinvet.eu)A3: Celebration of 6 transnational project meetings during the two years´ project A4: Production of 7 training kits (Button and a LED Module&Kit, Dot Matrix Module&Kit, ADC converter Module&Kit, Keypad Module&Kit, Motor (DC, Servo, Step) Module&Kit, LCD Module&Kit,Sensor Module Kit).A5: Development of the PBPinVET Guidebooks in Turkish, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, Greek, Italian. A6: Preparation and delivery of Project DVD, A7: Elaboration and dissemination of 6 Newsletters, A8: Selection of the best photo of the Project, A9: Planting of Erasmus+ trees (6 TPMs =6 Erasmus+ trees)A10: Implementation of dissemination activities,A11: Final works, Financial and administrative reporting from project partners. Results and impact attained; We had two types of results and impacts: Regarding tangible results, we delivered Open Educational Resources, namely:-A guidebook addressed to VET teachers in 7 languages to be used as a tool to teach microcontrollers in VET programmes.-A common methodology to teach microcontrollers, including different training kits divided in different teaching modules addressed to different aspects of microcontrollers. -Dissemination materials, including a project Website, tutorial videos with subtitles in English, a logo, a short film, banners and posters, a DVD, including all documents of the project, a Project Facebook, a Twitter, Youtube Regarding intangible results, we could mention:-Increased knowledge on electronics, particularly microcontrollers, of participants in the project, both VET teachers and VET students.-Reinforcement of the international strategies of each partner organization.-Gained skills by the staff participating in the project, related to better intercultural, organizational and managerial skills.-A better knowledge of the different VET systems and curriculums in electronics training across Europe.-A higher sense of belonging to the European project by the staff and VET students involved.
