Abstract:

This short paper is about a Chinese-German project on quality development in [vocational education and training] VET schools in Beijing. Tools and theories of German and Swiss pedagogical quality management were introduced, reflected on and adapted in this project. These tools were referred to the classical fields of school development: improvement of teaching, organizational development, human resource development and development of cooperation. The most important issue in our project was the improvement of school-company cooperation. This paper introduces our basic [quality management] QM-concept and two evaluation tools: HOLAQ and the ERC tool. In conclusion we reflect on our conclusions from the project in respect to school development and intercultural learning.
