Description: <\/strong><\/p>\n

During the month of July 2024 we carried out a mobility of a computer science student of 1st Epalgematiko Lykeio Kato Achaias in the facilities of Ikasia Technologies SL as a pilot test of the Erasmus Plus project \u201cFuturevet\u201d. This\n pilot test allowed to carry out the first student mobility with the new VET model in Spain, and to test the methodology created in the framework of the mentioned Erasmus Plus project for the training of a student of a dual training\n cycle during his period of stay in the company.<\/p>\n

During the mobility, the student participated in a project for the design and development of a website capable of establishing Wi-Fi communication with a 3D printer and sending text files at the user’s request.<\/p>\n

The student was in charge of the design and programming of a website that would meet the demands set by the company. All the parameters of the programming, language, communication protocols, architecture and interface design, among\n others, had to be defined and selected by the student, under the advice of the tutor and the company’s technicians.<\/p>\n

During the participation in this project, the student received and acquired training of his computer training studies (which allowed him to acquire learning results), expand his knowledge, put into practice what he learned in his studies\n and acquire training in the field of 3D printing. Throughout the mobility, the student showed a lot of interest, motivation and responsibility, performing all the tasks that have been asked of him in the established time. He showed\n a lot of proactivity in the realization of proposals, and the mastery of critical and scientific thinking skills, key in working in technology companies. In addition, this mobility has meant for him a first work experience in the\n technology sector, essential for his future work.<\/p>\n

For its part, the technology company has proven its ability to host student internships with a new model of VT in which the company’s tutor is responsible for part of the student’s training. In addition, thanks to the COURSE FOR TECHNOLOGY\n COMPANIES: TRAINING ON HOW TO IMPLEMENT NEW MOBILITIES and in collaboration with the educational center, the company tutor created the work plan and managed to ensure that the student not only acquired the training related to their\n training cycle, but also understood much better both the project and the work methodology. allowing us to achieve all the objectives of both mobility and the work plan.<\/p>\n

Hi, Verras Aggelos, and from 7\/1\/2024 to 7\/29\/2024 I worked within the Erasmus Plus program in Valencia, Spain, at the company IKASIA Technologies. My job there was to use the knowledge I acquired in school as a computer science student\n to create a website that would wirelessly connect to a 3D printer. At first, I thought that the assigned task was difficult and that I would not succeed, but my partner, Luis, helped me by explaining how a 3D printer works. With\n that help and after some consultations with the boss, where he explained how he wanted the website to be, I got down to work.<\/p>\n

The time I had to deliver the website was about four weeks. Thanks to this project I gained new knowledge about programming and especially about web pages. I learned about the different types of 3D and how they work. Finally, the working\n environment was excellent, I had my own office, my own computer and my colleagues were very polite and talkative. Also, I was lucky to live in a house near the city center, which was only five minutes away from work. Valencia has\n great places to eat and drink and entertainment. It has a lot of young people and a good nightlife. Finally, price-wise it is quite cheap, which helped me save quite a bit of my salary. The public transportation is great to go wherever\n you want to go. It was an amazing experience and I thank both my school and the director, Mr. Karampelas, for choosing me. I highly recommend it to any student who is interested.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

My experience tutoring Aggelos was very gratifying. A new methodology to train the students mobility was tried which involved a preparatory visit, previous contact with both him, and teachers from his school. Before the student arrived\n we had time to know him and prepared him, together with his teachers, for the task ahead. This way, when the student came to do his internship, he was not faced with a completely new environment. I feel this really helped in his\n fast integration as was detrimental to the success of his stay.<\/p>\n

I personally think the previously contact we had established with both him, and his teacher were essential to make him feel comfortable in the new environment he faced. The student showed a very positive attitude during the whole experience.\n It took no time for him to feel secure among his co-workers not hesitating to ask his doubts or share his thoughts. He also seemed very motivated to perform the tasks ahead of him, and his interests was obvious by the content of\n the questions he asked.<\/p>\n

Once the student arrived, he was introduced and trained to the finer details of his task. This step was very straightforward due to the previous meetings we had. The student was aware of the objective of the stay as well as the tasks\n he had to perform and trained in 3D. Before his arrival we had prepared and programmed all his tasks. These were not very rigid since one cannot predict the difficulties to be faced when such a new activity is to be performed. Nonetheless,\n they were enough to guide the internship, and trained the student, by marking the main steps to be achieved. This was very helpful since the internship in question had a new objective which was a novelty for both me, as tutor, and\n the student. Without the good programming of his stay it would have been much more complicated to achieve the success we had at the end of his stay.<\/p>\n

This internship was very rewarding from all the possible perspectives. Technically, the student was able to learn a lot of information about a new theme we was not previously familiar with and acquire training about their VET education,\n also he was able to apply it and put into practice to achieve the end goal of his stay. From our part, the same can be said because We were able to verify that carrying out this new type of mobility in which we offer training to\n the student in the company is possible and does not require an excessive workload with the methodology we have created. Also we achieved what we had previously proposed in the timeframe we had established for it. On a more personal\n perspective I think it was also a great experience for the student. He felt comfortable in his working environment, had a good relationship with his co-workers and was perfectly integrated. He also showed great interest and joy in\n performing this activity. Also, he experienced a new working environment, new people and technologies from a field unknown to him, all of which I expect to contribute to his personal growth.<\/p>\n

The activity was a success, and very fruitful for all the parts involved.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Duration: <\/strong>1 session of one day during a subject during school hours<\/p>\n

Participants:<\/strong> 41<\/p>\n

Participating centers<\/strong>: IES Enrique Tierno Galv\u00e1n de Moncada, 1st Epalgematiko Lykeio Kato Achaias, Ergastiriako Kentro Kastoria\n
\n <\/p>\n

Result:<\/strong> R6_MANUAL FOR VET STUDENTS<\/p>\n

The pilot tests were carried out in a one-day session within the teaching hours of the English subject. They were aimed at VET students with obstacles in computer science, mechanics, electricity and electronics, and chemistry with\n the aim of analysing the result R6: MANUAL FOR VET STUDENTS.<\/p>\n

During the pilot tests, the teachers of the educational centers provided the students with the manual for reading and analysis individually. Participants then completed a survey designed by members of the partners to evaluate various\n aspects of the manual, including its overall satisfaction, clarity, usefulness, and applicability.<\/p>\n

Finally, a talk was held among the students in their classrooms in which they commented on the manual and their opinions about it.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, we carried out the survey with a control group made up of 41 VET students with the same characteristics (students with obstacles in the specialties of computer science, mechanics, electricity and electronics, and\n chemistry from the same schools), but who had not read the manual. Our goal is to find statistically significant differences between the control group and the pilot group to know if the manual has had a significant impact on students.<\/p>\n

The data obtained through the questionnaires were analyzed with the GraphPad Prism 8 software.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
