The QPA method: new ways to support and motivate iVET students at particular risk of ESL, including students with migrant or Roma backgrounds

The reasons for transferring the contents and results of the QPA were:- A considerable number of iVET students do not complete their training programme and are at risk of early school leaving (ESL); - The inadequacy at European level of acceptance in class of students from different cultures and languages, including students with migrant or Roma backgrounds;- Teachers and trainers are not sufficiently prepared to face the problem of dropouts from iVET, especially in educational and training intercultural contexts.The aims of the proposed transfer were:- To reduce the number of dropouts in iVET through the dissemination of the contents and methods used in the original project.- To develop innovative practices in iVET systems to tackle ESL;- To enhance the capacity of teachers and trainers to work in intercultural contexts.The QPA method is based on the studies and tests carried out by the working group of Prof. K. Polacek who developed an innovative theory on the fundamental bases of learning processes and created a psycho-educational tool just as innovative (QPA) which allows worldwide sharing of criteria to assess how learning processes work in relation to students of all nationalities, identifying their resources and the most effective way to strengthen them. The QPA method has identified and developed ways to support and motivate iVET students at particular risk of ESL, including students with migrant or Roma backgrounds, to fulfil their educational potential.The transfer of the educational pathway included its adaptation to educational and training systems, to various contexts and to the needs and requirements of cultural, linguistic and socio-economic target groups, including the use of ICT. The Consortium was composed of 12 partners: ISF, Applicant Co-ordinator, 5 Core Partners and 6 Associated Partners. Lazio Regional Education Office of the Italian Ministry of Education supports the project, with the designation as core partner the Lyceum L.B. Alberti. Two associations representing non-state schools participated in the Consortium: FIDAE for Italy; ASSEDIL for Europe and for the Middle East. The Ramon Llull University in Barcelona and the FORTUNE Interuniversity Consortium in Rome were core partners in the project as well.In terms of impact, the Project involved 8 upper secondary schools and VTCs in Italy, 2 in Spain, 1 in France, 1 in Belgium for a total of 500 students, with an indirect involvement of almost 60 teachers and trainers.
