This handout was created in the context of the BMBF project "Progressing Work-Based Learning in Thailand (ProWoThai)" as the second in a series. The handouts were developed, tested and further developed in a participatory manner. Colleagues from academia and practice from Thailand, Malaysia and Germany were involved. 

The aim of the handouts is to provide VET practitioners with guidelines for the development, organization and reflection of work-based learning (WBL). WBL can take place either (i) at the company workplace and in real work or (ii) in simulated work processes in the integrated specialist rooms of a vocational school, a training workshop or in a laboratory. 

Work-based learning combines work activities with learning processes in different forms at all learning locations. The following features characterize work-based learning:

1) The promotion of holistic skills development for learners with the aim of independent, appropriate and responsible action in the context of work, family and society.  

2) The use of real work tasks and processes typical of the profession or company as the object of learning in conjunction with an orientation towards learning outcomes.

3) The didactic and curricular transformation of real work tasks into forms of learning, such as the        learning and work task, and their use for holistic work- and action-oriented as well as problem-based examinations and validations. 

This practical guideline aims at facilitating the development and implementation of Learning and Work Task (LWT). It addresses University lecturers, TVET teachers, TVET instructors or facilitators who intend to aim at competence-development and experiential learning in a formal learning environment located either at the university, at a vocational school and at an in-company or inter-company training centre.
