Intellectual Output 1: Level Matrix

Intellectual Output 1: Level Matrix

The Level Matrix shows a description of volunteering skills relating to levels two to fivefrom the European Qualification Framework (EQF). For the development of this level matrix, the consortium used the analysis of the National Qualification Frameworks (NQFs) in relation with each other and the EQF as a basis. In addition, the consortium has considered the key competences for lifelong learning adopted by the European Commission (http://eurlex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:32006H0962) and the model from Rego, Zózimo and Correia (2014, as competênciasprofissionaisgeradaspelovoluntariado) for its development.

Position of Project

Position of Project

The matrix below defines where the DesTeVa project is positioned within a possible educational landscape of the European Union.
The project has adopted an individual perspective instead of an institutional onebecause the consortium is not going to target the education system but focuses on individual volunteers, instead. For this reason the consortium is focused on the quadrants from seven up to twelve in the matrix shown below. Within the individual perspective validation is done for two different reasons. On the one hand it is focusing on personal development and on the other hand validation is done for social fields of activity, e.g. for other volunteering fields.

Statements for self-assessment

Statements for self-assessment

The following statements are used for the online tool in step 3 (self-assessment) and step 4 (peer-assessment). The statements are different for each level, which is marked as L2, L3, L4, and L5. Each knowledge, skill or attitude is surveyed with two statements in order to make sure that users answer conscientiously. The volunteers and peers answer these statements on a 5-likert scale. The volunteers do not have to ask all of them, only the statements on the level they have chosen at the beginning of the assessment.
