The transferability of vocational education and training qualifications across international borders is a live issue in this heterogeneous field. Key to this goal is defining a common methodology for measuring vocational competences. This publication sets out a proposal for just that, based on the results of a pilot project known as ‘COMET’ on competence diagnostics in the field of electrical engineering. The study deploys longitudinal analysis to explore issues of competence development, the development of vocational identity, and occupational commitment. It focuses on two discrete occupational profiles in electrical engineering in an ambitious test of a model currently applied to other...
This book examines continuity and change of identity formation processes at work under conditions of modern working processes and labor market flexibility. By bringing together perspectives from sociology, psychology, organizational management, and vocational education and training, it connects the debates of skills formation, human resources development, and careers with individual’s work commitment and professional orientations.
This book is a detailed manual for the implementation of competence diagnostics in the field of vocational training. With the COMET competence model, both conceptual competences as well as practical skills are recorded and evaluated. The manual guides through all methodological steps, including the preparation and implementation of tests, cross and longitudinal studies, the development of context analyses and measurement methods for the test motivation. The focus of the final chapter is the application of the COMET procedure for the design, organisation and evaluation of vocational education and training processes.
Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) research has become a recognized and well-defined area of interdisciplinary research. This is the first handbook of its kind that specifically concentrates on research and research methods in TVET. The book’s sections focus on particular aspects of the field, starting with a presentation of the genesis of TVET research. They further feature research in relation to policy, planning and practice. Various areas of TVET research are covered, including on the vocational disciplines and on TVET systems. Case studies illustrate different approaches to TVET research, and the final section of the book presents research methods, including interview and observation methods, as well as of experimentation and development. This handbook provides a comprehensive coverage of TVET research in an international context, and, with special focus on research and research methods, it is a cutting-edge resource and reference.
Der Tagungsband stellt die Ergebnisse der zweijährlich stattfindenden Tagung der in der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Gewerblich-Technische Wissenschaften und ihre Didaktiken (GTW) zusammengeschlossenen Berufsbildungsforscher und Vertreter beruflicher Schulen vor. Er zieht Bilanz über zahlreiche Arbeiten der vergangenen Jahre und präsentiert in Fachbeiträgen Vorschläge und Forschungsarbeiten zur Verbesserung der Qualität der Berufsbildung in insgesamt fünf Schwerpunktfeldern. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei die Herausforderung durch Zukunftstechnologien und die durch die europäische Bildungspolitik wieder stärker in den Fokus gerückte Ausbildung von Facharbeitern sowie die Kompetenzentwicklung verschiedener Zielgruppen der Berufsbildung.
Die Kultusministerkonferenz vereinbarte im Jahr 1991 als Leitidee beruflicher Bildung, Auszubildende zu bef�higen, Arbeitswelt und Gesellschaft in sozialer und �kologischer Verantwortung mit zu gestalten. Diese Maxime fordert seither die Berufsbildungsforschung heraus, die Inhalte, Methoden und Organisationsformen beruflicher Arbeit zu analysieren. Nur so lassen sich die Gestaltungsspielr�ume von Arbeiten und Lernen identifizieren, die sich in nach Lernfeldern strukturierten Berufsbildungspl�nen und schlie�lich in der Berufsbildungspraxis spiegeln. Dieses Beiheft enth�lt daher Beitr�ge, die sich mit der empirischen Fundierung der Curriculumentwicklung befassen, ein bisher in de...
