Developing an understanding of the labour market
This study examines graduates’ understanding of the labour market and its association with structural and agentic factors in the transition from higher education to work. Research has shown that besides possessing and exerting different forms of capital, it is foremost important for graduates to be aware and understand which forms and expressions of capital are valued within their working field. By comparing first-generation and continuing-genera…
The Importance of Graduates' Perceived Network Quality in Their Transition to Work
To navigate the labour market graduates turn to their social network for valuable resources. However, existing disparities in accessing and exerting network resources may result in more precarious transition outcomes for first‐generation graduates. To gain deeper insight into how social networks facilitate the transition process, this study focuses on the network actors and resources that are perceived as valuable by graduates. Over a 4‐month per…
Socioeconomic Differences in the Transition From Higher Education to the Labour Market
The transition from higher education to the labour market is considered an important and uncertain life stage wherein young adults exchange an academic environment for an often-chaotic entry into the labour market. Specifically, for graduates with a lower socioeconomic status (SES), this transition involves several difficulties. Investigating these persisting SES differences in the transition is becoming more relevant given the increasing partici…
The importance of a collaborative culture for teachers’ job satisfaction and affective commitment
Excellence in leadership in the Arab world
While leadership is one of the most studied areas among organisational scholars, research interests in the impact of cultural values on leadership perceptions and behaviours remains ongoing. In fact, most studies adopt a universal or rather Western viewpoint on leadership. As such, the literature is largely unaware of the cultural differences in leadership perceptions, such as those in the Arab World. Drawing on implicit leadership theories (ILTs…
Methods for Researching Professional Learning and Development
Education–Job Fit and Work-Related Learning of Recent Graduates
Graduates’ education and its alignment with the first job are of key influence on graduates’ career. It is argued that education–job fit affects work-related learning, which is important for recent graduates to cope with the demands of their new job. Theoretically, two (contradicting) processes have been put forward describing the relationship between education–job fit and work-related learning: Whereas the complementing hypothesis argues that wo…
Socio-economic status and academic performance in higher education
Testing conditions and creative performance
This study attempts to clarify the effects of varying testing conditions on creative performance in divergent thinking and product-based tasks. Two meta-analyses, one for time limits (short vs. long) and one for instructions (standard vs. explicit), were conducted. Moderator analyses were performed to examine whether the effects of time limits and instructions differ by measurement method, domain of creative performance, gender, study's country o…
Work-related learning in the transition from higher education to work
BackgroundWork-related learning is particularly important at the start of graduates' careers. Preparing students for work-related learning is a chief aim of higher education, demonstrating its relevance when investigating the transition to work.AimThis study aimed to investigate the role of personal factors for work-related learning during the transition from higher education to work. This study took a longitudinal and person-centred approach by …
Emerging Adults Embarking on Their Careers
It has been argued that the transition from adolescence to adulthood has been prolonged in many industrialized countries with many young adults pursuing a higher education degree. Accordingly, Arnett introduced a new life phase 'emerging adulthood' in which the transition from education to work is a central event. The current systematic literature study aims to provide insight into how young adults experience this life event. Our search strategy …
Teacher communities as a context for professional development

Teacher autonomy and collaboration
Exploring the occurrence of team learning behaviours in project teams over time
The aim of this qualitative longitudinal study is to create a more in-depth picture of the emergence of team learning behaviours throughout the lifespan of temporary project teams. In order to grasp the emergence of these behaviours, three project teams were followed from the start until the end of their project during a period of three months. Three team meetings spread over time were audiotaped and coded using a coding schema set-up to identify…
Teachers’ Everyday Professional Development
Although a lot is known about teacher development by means of formal learning activities, research on teachers’ everyday learning is limited. In the current systematic review, we analyzed 74 studies focusing on teachers’ informal learning to identify teachers’ learning activities, antecedents for informal learning, and learning outcomes. In addition, we examined whether beginning and more experienced teachers differ with regard to informal learni…

Informal learning of primary school teachers
Development and Validation of a Questionnaire on Informal Workplace Learning Outcomes
Lifelong learning has become a necessity for individuals' employability and a source of sustainable competitive advantage for organisations. Learning does not only occur through education and training, informal learning—learning from engagement in daily work-related activities—is considered an important source for establishing a sustainable change aimed at achieving individual and organisational goals. The purpose of this study is to develop and …
A meta-analysis of the effects of face-to-face cooperative learning. Do recent studies falsify or verify earlier findings?
Predicting Mathematical Performance
A substantial number of research studies have investigated the separate influence of working memory, attention, motivation, and learning strategies on mathematical performance and self-regulation in general. There is still little understanding of their impact on performance when taken together, understanding their interactions, and how much each of them contributes to the prediction of mathematical performance. With the emergence of new methodolo…
Contributions to innovative learning and teaching? Effective research-based pedagogy – a response to TLRP’s principles from a European perspective 1
Starting from the contribution on the ‘ten principles of effective pedagogy’ by James and Pollard, we critically reflect on some of the principles and assess whether these principles can be grounded in the wider European research literature that has accumulated internationally. We conclude that these principles can be supported and expressed in the following statements. First, prior knowledge and experience is a springboard for future learning. S…
Learning in the second half of the career
Past research has shown that, as workers age, their participation in education and training declines, which is a problem in our fast changing society and economy. This study focuses on the stimulating and prohibiting reasons for participation in formal learning activities. It investigates whether employees in the second half of their career differ from their younger colleagues in terms of the reasons for participation in formal learning activitie…
