Individuelle Förderung in heterogenen Gruppen in der Berufsausbildung

The conference transcript contains contributions from an event of the same name organised by the Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training (f-bb) and the Federal Institute for Vocational Training (BIBB) as part of the Vocational Education and Training Research Network Association (AG BFN). Concepts were introduced and discussed at the conference, with which the learning and integration processes in heterogeneous learning groups in companies as well as in vocational colleges can be improved. The trainees differ greatly in terms of prior qualifications, language abilities, social background and age. These heterogeneous learning groups make individual training support more difficult and pose increasing demands for the teaching staff.The first part of the transcript deals with individualisation concepts for training in a company setting. The second part focuses on dealing with this heterogeneity in a scholastic setting and emphasises issues of language support. The articles are underpinned by good practice examples, findings from model trials and exploratory studies.
