Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to present some results of the project entitled “Innovative Peer Learning Assessment System for Evaluation of Trainers and Quality VET Professional Programs” (iQVET), financed by European Commission. Experiences with delivery of the Quality auditor course by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Mures are presented. This paper is addressed to an experimental educational research with the objectives to: design and evaluate a pedagogical approach which can enhance core competencies of quality auditors; to innovate technology enhancement strategies that can create an effective collaborative peer assisted learning and assessment environment. The findings are the teaching intervention evaluation according to the Kirkpatrick methodology, at levels of: reaction, learning, behaviour, results. The learning outcome is evaluated with a new tool that provides verification feedback to trainees immediately after a test or exam, by using Peer Learning Assessment System Professional (PeLePro) for mobile technology. It doesn’t require any reconstruction of classrooms or other infrastructure at the training site, due to the portability and availability of handheld tools among the trainees. It is possible to apply this evaluation method in any classroom that is connected to the WI-FI network.
