Abstract

Formal and non-formal education is subjected to continuous research for providing effective ways for improvement and recognition of competences. Several recommendations are formulated by decision makers for encouraging researchers to provide solutions for promoting education focused on learning outcomes and the recognition of work related skills. This paper aims at developing a blended learning system and analyzing the opportunity of implementation for vocational education and training. The system was developed for the marine sector and comprises modules created for soft and technical skills’ improvement and assessment. The survey was conducted to identify the set of skills required be the end-users. The survey was developed with questionnaires tailored for particular categories of respondents. Following the survey, the focus groups with marine professionals were organized to identify methods for skills recognition. The results concluded in an E-platform for Blended Learning constructed to allow participants to improve their knowledge and gradually self-assess the level of achievements. Becoming acquainted with the particular skills and competencies, the participants could apply for the final test. On successful completion of the course, a certificate would be awarded in recognition of the achievements. The results of the study represent a validated instrument that can be multiplied for recognition of the work-related skills and learning outcomes in various knowledge areas.
