Conceptualizations and implementation of creativity in higher vocational teacher education – a qualitative study of lecturers Empirical Research in Vocational Education and Training Pub Date : 2023-07-05 Silke Fischer, Antje Barabasch
Creativity is one of the most important skills in the 21st century student’s toolkit and important to vocational education and training (VET). In the context of vocational teacher education, creativity has not yet played a significant role at universities. This is due in part to the fact that it is unclear what creativity means and how it is fostered in the context of higher education. This interview

Drop-out in dual VET: why we should consider the drop-out direction when analysing drop-out Empirical Research in Vocational Education and Training Pub Date : 2022-01-17 Krötz, Maximilian, Deutscher, Viola
Despite high drop-out rates from vocational education and training (VET) throughout most countries and a long research tradition on potential drop-out reasons, little is known about the effects exerted on drop-out intentions by the quality of training. Furthermore, only rarely do scholars distinguish between different drop-out directions, and systematic insights on possibly differing causes are scarce

Stress in teaching and teacher training is a well-known issue and stress management during teacher training may not only be affected by individual coping efforts, but also determined by private and work-related networks the individual is integrated in. In that regard, our article aims firstly to identify sources of social support in the German teacher training system and secondly to analyze interdependencies

At-risk students like those with special educational needs, learning difficulties, or pupils at risk of exclusion frequently struggle in transition from basic to secondary vocational education and training, often due to poor personal, learning and social skills. Therefore, several countries implement transition programs like the choice of profession training (CoPT) in Estonia to support youngsters’

Competence development and measurement are of great interest to vocational education and training (VET). Although there are many instruments available for measuring competence in diverse settings, in many cases, the completed steps of validation are neither documented nor made transparent in a comprehensible manner. Understanding what an instrument actually measures is extremely important, inter alia

The costs of standardized apprenticeship curricula for training firms Empirical Research in Vocational Education and Training Pub Date : 2021-07-14 Jürg Schweri, Manuel Aepli, Andreas Kuhn
Standardized curricula define the set of skills that must be trained within a training occupation and thus are a key regulatory element of apprenticeship systems. Although clear economic rationales support the usage of such curricula, they necessarily impose costs, especially on firms that train apprentices, but do not use the full set of skills in their productive process and/or train other skills

The value of apprentices in the care sector: the effect of apprenticeship costs on the mobility of graduates from apprenticeship training Empirical Research in Vocational Education and Training Pub Date : 2021-06-11 Eric Schuss
This paper provides evidence on the effect of apprenticeship costs on the decision whether care facilities employ apprenticeship graduates after completing apprenticeship training. To account for the endogeneity in apprenticeship costs, we exploit an exogenous reduction in the apprenticeship costs of care facilities by exploiting the fact that the underlying apprenticeship levy was introduced across

A mixed method mentorship audit: assessing the culture that impacts teaching and learning in a polytechnic Empirical Research in Vocational Education and Training Pub Date : 2021-06-07 Natasha Hubbard Murdoch, Eliisha Ens, Barbara Gustafson, Tamara Chambers-Richards
The benefits of mentorship to individuals in post-secondary relate to wellbeing, satisfaction, and perceived success which translates to organizational commitment. Mentorship improves skills in academic roles and leadership, yet a disconnect remains on what mentees and mentors expect and what institutions provide.

Understanding why apprentices consider dropping out: longitudinal prediction of apprentices’ workplace interest and anxiety Empirical Research in Vocational Education and Training Pub Date : 2021-03-01 Tim E. Powers, Helen M. G. Watt
Although apprenticeships ease the school-to-work transition for youth, many apprentices seriously consider dropping out. While associated with noncompletions, dropout considerations are important to study in their own right, because they reflect a negative quality of apprenticeship experience and can impact apprentices’ quality of learning and engagement. Few studies have addressed apprentices’ dropout

Early termination of vocational training: dropout or stopout? Empirical Research in Vocational Education and Training Pub Date : 2021-02-11 Gabriele Wydra-Somaggio
Dropping out of the educational system has marked negative consequences in the labour market. Dropping out is followed by an early termination that does not necessarily mean leaving the educational system without graduating. Trainees may reassess their initial choice by starting another vocational education and training (VET) programme and preserve their labour market chances when graduating. This

Educational diversity and individual pay: the advantages of combining academic and VET graduates in the workplace Empirical Research in Vocational Education and Training Pub Date : 2020-11-10 Simone N. Tuor Sartore, Uschi Backes-Gellner
This study analyzes how worker pay is related to educational diversity, i.e., diversity in the educational composition of work groups in terms of the different types of vocational and academic education. As previous research shows that various types of diversity have positive effects in the workplace, a positive effect due to ‘educational diversity’ also seems plausible. We provide novel empirical

Content expectations and dropout in Dutch vocational education Empirical Research in Vocational Education and Training Pub Date : 2020-10-12 Irene Eegdeman, Chris van Klaveren, Martijn Meeter
Unrealistic expectations with regard to one’s study program has been linked to negative consequences for future academic success. Previous studies that have shown this are often retrospective, however, and focus on performance-related expectations (e.g. expected grades), while unrealistic expectations about the required effort and the content of the program (content-related expectations) may be more
