Research interest
Ms Lameira has been working with BIBB since 2013 while developing qualification standards for in-company tutors (https://www2.bibb.de/bibbtools/en/ssl/dapro.php?proj=1.5.310). Meanwhile Ms Lameira is preparing a new bilateral project proposal for the modernisation of VET teachers’ profiles in cooperation with BIBB.
Her research interest further includes the role and patterns of involvement of social partners in the process of creating and updating qualification standards. A specific focus is the modernisation of ICT qualifications at EQF levels 4 and 5 in Portugal. Her research stay provides for the opportunity to gain insights from the current VET 4.0 projects at BIBB and to develop future research cooperation between the two organisations (BIBB; ANQEP).
The German Qualification Framework (GQF) is her further research interest. She is especially interested in its governance and monitoring; a task which all European member states are facing following the latest European Recommendation.
