HOW TO INTEGRATE THE 21st CENTURY SKILLS IN THE CURRICULUM OF VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN PRISON
Abstract
The methodological recommendations for adult educators in prison will help practitioners to enhance to social skills of prisoners during vocational training by providing materials and guidelines for several vocational curricula. Fifteen task sheets for teachers to enhance the social skills were developed as a result, including digital literacy, creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, communication, teamwork, social and cultural skills, and self-regulation. The formal curriculum and a variety of vocational teaching resources in five European countries were first looked at. This led to the conclusion that, although there is a lack of guidance and tools, the present curricula gives educators and schools the opportunity to incorporate the social skills into the classrooms in prison. The good practices of programs from schools in prisons of these five European countries were used to elaborate task sheets for teachers in the vocational curricula.
