Welcome

This 24 months long project is a collaboration of 11partners from five countries. The “transfer of innovation” will ‘valorize’ the results of two earliersuccessful LdV projects: SLOOP and NETIS.

The aim of Tenegen project isto establish an European environment of ’connectivism’ for VET teachers and trainers, toshow the significant advantages of being connectedto the n-Gen instead of simply ’delivering’ knowledge through virtual classrooms and LearningManagement System.

Tenegen experiences

Summarised experiences from our point of view (P8)

After having fulfilled all the tasks of the TC01, TC03 and TC04 modules the participating teachers of our school aresatisfied with the content of the Tenegen project and they will profit from their studies, experiences. They discovereda world far beyond the horizon of most of the teachers in the public education. Probably it can be stated not onlyconcerning the Hungarian situation, but all over the World.Despite of the continuous time pressure, precipitation and the high performance criterion (they suffered from), atnear end of the project they might be and they are happy that they had joined the Tenegen project as participantsone year before. Hopefully their colleagues will also make profit of their future activities.The hearty welcome of the project by the students was not surprising; notwithstanding it will be a very importantmotivation factor for the future activities of the participants and maybe other teachers. It is evident, that the supportfrom the most important target group is essential.

One can never step into the same river twice

According to the Greek philosopher of Ephesus, Heraclitus 'One can never step into the same river twice'. Neitherstudents nor teachers can step twice into the same school nowadays. As an example, let us consider the partnerP8 Bottyán School.Recalling the events of the last some years; we can set down the fact of continuous changes.The Bottyán School has undergone a total reconstruction of the school building.Meanwhile new training programs were started in the vocational education and training.Last year the maintainer of the school changed. Formerly the school was maintained by the Komárom-EsztergomCounty Authority; from last summer maintainer of the school is the Local Authority of City Esztergom.

The history repeats itself

Exactly ten years before, in 2000, our school was merged with the J. K. Hell Politechnical Secondary School,Esztergom-Kertváros. The history repeats itself.In some days the name of the P8 partner school, ‘Bottyán János Vocational Secondary School’ will be changed to'Szent Imre Primary School, Grammar School and Vocational Secondary School’, in short 'Szent Imre School’. Ourfreshly renovated school building will also house the integrated Szent István Gimnázium (which at the moment isfunctioning in the former Hell school building). A primary school, namely the Petıfi Sándor Általános Iskola, willalso be integrated, but will function in its present school building.The revised pedagogical program mostly will comprise the values and educational offers of the previous schools.Nevertheless, concerning the Bottyán School, the number of entrants is cut and no further admission is possible inthe electric-electronics professional group. The present students in the electric-electronics professional group andalso the students who repeat the first class will follow their studies in our school.Recently the maintainer decided on the nomination of the headmaster of the merged school (from 1 August, 2010),but decision was not taken yet on the school management, the teaching staff and the personnel. Many teachers arein uncertain position at the moment. As for the position of the Petıfi Sándor Általános Iskola, the integration willonly change the name of the school and it will be directly managed by a subordinate deputy headmaster instead of a headmaster.It is firm intention of the school management to follow up success of the Tenegen project. Our enthusiasticparticipants also are capable to make profit of their studies in their future pedagogical practice. There is also ahopeful possibility to share their results with other interested colleagues.
