Assessment and validation practices in the Vocational Education and Training system: an App for students and practitioners

Assessment and validation are crucial to support learning experiences. In this paper the focus is on the VET system (Vocational Education and Training), which represents an important node in the training of young people in Europe. Within the theoretical framework, in the specific evidence of the passage from a school-based learning to a work-based learning, we will start a reflection on some assessment and validation practices implemented in Europe, within the AppSkill+ work, an Erasmus+ project aimed at developing and testing an app-based tool dedicated to the evaluation and validation, highlighting circularity, triangulation, continuous assessment and digitalization of the processes.
