The Detmold learning path model , DLM, is a funding program that is scientifically sound and differentiated in terms of professional practice and is used both in vocational training and in the work area of workshops for disabled people.
The DLM is a requirement-oriented, hierarchically structured curriculum that consists of learning objective sequences . An evaluated and partly further developed form was presented after the first years of practical testing in several workshops for disabled people in the Federal Republic of Germany. The DLM has been used in many workshops since the late 1980s and early 1990s, along with other scientifically proven models. It contributed significantly to a new way of thinking - initially in the so-called work training area. Work training areas were then to be designed in such a way that the disabled employees were prepared for their working life. It was now also a matter of promoting personality, developing cognitive skills and acquiring psychomotor skills at the same time as vocational training and being trained in social interaction with one another and with the specialist in employment and professional development (FAB).
The Detmold learning path model arose at a time when it was common in education to encourage and guide students and "supervised" students according to externally prescribed learning goals. This way of thinking began to falter in the mid-1990s, and a paradigm shift was on the horizon . The disabled person became the employee with whom the skilled worker works in partnership for job and professional development. The disabled employee helps determine his or her learning - within the scope of his possibilities - and knows for himself what is good for him. This paradigm shift necessitated the expansion of the Detmold learning path model to include a catalog on professional competence, which deals with work virtues, key qualifications and independent learning . The decisive factor was the conviction that employees should act as much as possible themselves. It is not the skilled worker but the "disabled" person who acts under guidance and with the support of the skilled worker, not only during the time in the vocational training area. The work on this changed task was additionally driven by the increasing number of mentally handicapped employees in the workshops for handicapped people who had different qualification problems.
learning goals
The DLM is made up of around 1000 individual learning objectives. These learning objectives include what people with disabilities can and should learn in workshops - both in terms of personal development and in terms of vocational education and training. The learning objectives, which are arranged in sequences with increasing difficulty, relate to perception and thought processes ( cognitive learning objectives), movement execution ( psychomotor learning objectives), work contacts and work environment (social learning objectives), to the general professional ability and the work safety of employees. The learning objectives are summarized in individual learning objective catalogs according to areas of activity in the WfbM (e.g. carpentry, sewing, laundry) or according to special concerns of groups of disabled people (e.g. people with severe multiple disabilities). The specialists use the individual catalogs of learning objectives to estimate which learning objectives have already been mastered by the employee or which learning objectives continue to exist. This assessment is repeated at regular intervals.
