How can a dialogue support teachers’ professional identity development? Harmonising multiple teacher I-positions
Explaining discrepancies between teacher beliefs and teacher interventions in a problem-based learning environment
Learning for now or later? Career competencies among students in higher vocational education in the Netherlands
This article focuses on the question: which aspects of a learning environment, aimed at fostering career learning, correspond with the development of career competencies among university students in the Netherlands? A questionnaire-based study was carried out among 4820 students and 371 career counsellors in 11 universities. Four career competencies were identified: career reflection (reflective behaviour), work exploration (exploring behaviour),…
Identity learning
The aim of this paper is to offer an additional perspective to the understanding of educational change processes by clarifying the significance of identity learning. Today’s innovations require changes in teachers’ professional identity. Identity learning involves a relation between social‐cognitive construction of new meanings and individual, emotional sense‐making of new experiences. This relationship between cognition and emotion asks for a st…
From Controlling to Constructive
Youth unemployment is an issue that has increasingly troubled western countries since the 1970s. This paper provides data on youth unemployment in Australia and the Netherlands, and discusses government policy in both countries. The rate of youth unemployment was similar in both countries in the mid 1980s, but since then it has declined dramatically in the Netherlands, while changing little in Australia. Youth unemployment policy in Australia has…
Career Learning in a Changing World
The effects of the marketisation of career guidance services in the Netherlands
Competencies as Building Blocks for Integrating Assessment with Instruction in Vocational Education
Changes in the system of vocational education, at least in The Netherlands, are based on the idea that the curriculum should focus more on competencies and work-related experiences. In a competency-based curriculum the content is not the central issue but the assessment and monitoring of what is learned and acquired relevant to (later) successful performance. Therefore, it is essential to link assessment with instruction that is focused on perfor…
The development of a career identity
Can Job/Training Projects be Successful? Some Research Results from the Netherlands
This article examines the possibility of motivating unemployed young people for training schemes whose instrumental pay‐off is—at least in the Netherlands—mostly small or very uncertain. Using data from three research projects, it is argued that it is very difficult to motivate youngsters to join training schemes because these schemes do not provide ‘normal’ work. Thus they do not allow young people to realise the life plan they have in mind. Pre…
When is YTS an Alternative for Young People? Some Results from a Dutch Qualitative Research Project
Data from a qualitative research project are used to examine attitudes and strategies to youth training schemes among a group of longterm unemployed youngsters in The Netherlands. The main aim of this paper is to clarify the observed contradictions in attitudes to Youth Training Schemes. Most of the time these contradictions remain unexplained because of the fact that the actual coping behaviour of youngsters with their contradictory situation is…
