Questions evaluating the job situation (computer-based task) | How realistic do you deem the presented situation is in your everyday working life or in your apprentices’ everyday working lives? To what extent must the characteristics of the situation be changed to make them more realistic? What type of situation would represent your daily work more realistically? | Same questions as on the left and: How must the following characteristics be changed to make them more realistic for the Swiss context: opening question, implied work steps, required and useful tools and documents, work results, other matters? In which year of the apprenticeship do you typically teach that situation? |
