HYBRID ACTION-ORIENTED LEARNING AND TEACHING: A TRANSFORMATIVE APPROACH TO VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

In the domain of vocational education, experiential learning constitutes a pivotal component of instructional design, encompassing the execution of experiments and the engagement with (model) systems.These practices are embedded within the didactic concept of action orientation, a mandatory component in Germany's curricular standards.The implementation of learning and teaching activities as hybrid teaching thus presents challenges for teachers, since on the one hand hybrid teaching is required by both learners and companies, and on the other hand the action-oriented approach is to be followed.In the following paper, the possible implementation is discussed and the question of a meaningful combination of online and face-to-face teaching is answered on the basis of the determinants that describe action-oriented learning-teaching arrangements.This response is intended to serve as a foundation for the implementation of hybrid, action-oriented learning-teaching arrangements and to inspire further discussion on the subject.
