Vocational students’ experiences and reflections on simulation training – what differences enable or hinder learning
The use of simulation training as a teaching method to support vocational learning is growing in popularity within VET. However, there is scarce research on how students experience and make use of simulation training. Therefore, this study explores how VET students experience and reflect on simulation training as a method for learning vocational knowledge and skills. The empirical material is based on 27 group interviews with VET students (n = 43…
Social Inclusion Beyond Education and Work
In public discourse, the social inclusion of migrants is often regarded as a challenge demanding migrants to increase their engagement in adapting to the new host country. Such imaginaries commonly declare migrants as being unwilling to acquire language skills and specific cultural values. In parallel, formal education is often proposed as the single most important remedy to inclusion, which generally solely implies labor market participation. Ho…
Directing Paths Into Adulthood
This article is centred on the tendency to align education for newly arrived students with migration policy. Drawing on an in-depth analysis of interviews with four adult migrant students, we aim to investigate how the participants’ experiences of studying and how they imagine their future intersect with their immigration status. The interviews were conducted when they were first studying a language introduction programme, and then three years la…
Teaching with simulators in vocational education and training – From a storing place to a new colleague
This study investigates the formation of VET teaching practice when using simulation as a teaching method to support students' vocational learning at upper secondary schools in Sweden. The study is based on repeated interviews with twelve VET teachers from two schools over the course of three years. Drawing upon practice theory, the findings show that the use of simulators brought about both new knowledge and new relationships in teaching practic…
Mobilising experiences of migration
Adult education and its teachers have an important role when it comes to providing knowledge that prepares asylum seekers for a potential life in a new country of residence. In this article we focus on the study circles organised by study associations and analyse the way study circle leaders (SCLs) mobilise their experience of migration in their work with asylum seekers. The article is based on interviews with SCLs and managers, who have been SCL…
Teachers’ work and positionings in relation to newly arrived students in Sweden
Use-Values for Inclusion
In times of market reforms and international migration, the Swedish welfare model has been seriously challenged. In the context of the arrival of refugees in 2015–2017, the state turned to civil society in facing up to the challenges. In this article, we direct our attention to the Workers’ Educational Association’s (ABF) state-funded work with refugees, with a specific focus on the activities conducted, the resources making them possible and the…
Simulation
Simulation is a pedagogy that has been widely used in a number of educational settings (e.g., aviation, transport, social work, nursing education). While it can take numerous forms, it often involves an assortment of high-tech equipment (e.g., flight simulators, manikins) that seek to replicate real settings. Specifically, this paper provides an empirically driven exploration of how simulation laboratories, used in the professional education of n…
