Part 2 Day 2 O2 - Training needs of Teachers preparing students for Agriculture 4.0 Planning the work program, working methods, outcomes

O2 needs analysis O2 needs to establish details about current practices and to answer specific questions: (I) how aware are agricultural VET teachers of trends in Farming 4/Agriculture 4.0.; (ii) how prepared are these teachers to develop their students for joining 'connected agriculture'; (iii) do they have a sufficiently strong ICT background in precision farming and ICT based systems?

O2 needs analysis Hypothesis preliminary consultations with the partners (who represent industrial and educational parties), the starting project assumption (the H0 hypothesis) is that there is a significant requirement for the provision of ICT training in these fields, but that this hypothesis has to be confirmed through surveys of the target groups in the target countries.

O2 needs analysis The results: The results of the survey will provide directly usable information for the educational system itself, but its conclusions will form a very important input for follow-on working phases, including the development of the training.

O2 needs analysis The steps: As a first step consortium will elaborate a questionnaire, in English(by 31/01/2018) - GJMSZI Two different, but crucial factors in the planning of the questionnaire will be taken into account: (i) it must be directed to solicit information about ICT based teaching methods and tools; (ii) it must be oriented to gather details of Farming 4.0 trends and systems therein. For the survey we will use an online questionnaire, following proven practices.

The steps: (28/02/2018) Step #2. The translation and the implementation of the questionnaire in national languages, and the subsequent statistical analysis of the survey will be the tasks of GJMSZI and FACE. The final conclusions will be summarized, in English, by FACE.

The steps: (31/03/2018) Step #3. The data collection, and responsibilities for identifying and inviting responses from representatives of the target group, will be the task of GAK, ITS and GJMSZI in Hungary, and of FACE and AGFT in Macedonia.

Indicators: Questionnaire (EN, HU, MK) – 3 x 10-12 p. Results of the national surveys (EN): 2x20 p. with charts. Summary of the results (EN):10 p. Short summary Target group: teachers and advisors Macedonia: 40 samples Hungary: 80 -100 samples
