Integrated and Modular Didactic and Methodological Concept for a Learning Factory

Abstract

As today manufacturing is not only subject to a single factory, but a network of globally distributed production sites, the goal-oriented encouragement of professional capacities is the motivation for the Learning Factory on Global Production (LGP). In this context, the design of a competency-based and action-oriented didactic and methodological concept is a prerequisite for sustainable learning results and for the development of self-determined problem solving skills. The presented paper gives an overview to the didactic and methodological design approach of the LGP. The integrated modular concept of e-learning and application in the learning factory environment supports self-directed learning and implemented by structuring the teaching/ learning process according to the model of complete action.
