MPCmenetelmä

MPCmenetelmä is a Finnish term that translates to "MPC method" or "MPC approach." It refers to a set of principles and practices commonly used in Finnish vocational education and training (VET). The core idea behind MPC is to integrate practical skills, theoretical knowledge, and the development of working life competencies within a cohesive learning framework.

The methodology emphasizes a strong connection between learning and the actual demands of the workplace. This often involves close collaboration between educational institutions and employers to ensure that the curriculum is relevant and up-to-date. Learning experiences are designed to be as authentic as possible, mirroring real-world tasks and challenges that students will encounter in their future careers.

Key aspects of the MPCmenetelmä include a focus on hands-on learning, problem-solving, and independent work. Students are encouraged to take ownership of their learning and to develop critical thinking skills. Assessment within the MPC framework typically involves evaluating both the acquisition of vocational skills and the ability to apply them effectively in different contexts. The ultimate goal is to equip graduates with the competence and adaptability needed to succeed in the evolving labor market.
