The AVIVA Model: A Competence-Oriented Approach to Teaching and Learning – Introduction

Abstract

The AVIVA model of teaching and learning was first presented in a book by Christoph Städeli and his colleagues, published in German in 2010 (Städeli, Grassi, Rhiner, & Obrist, 2010). Since then, the model has received considerable attention from those involved in the field of teacher education and training in Switzerland and other German-speaking countries. Interest has also grown in non-German speaking countries, particularly amongst teacher trainers, policy makers and other experts working in the field of vocational education and training (VET). It is for this reason that we decided to publish this book on AVIVA in English.
