This book contains a selection of articles written by leading international researchers on the subject of culture and production drawn from the CAPIRN project (the International Research Network on Culture and Production). The book examines the impact of different industrial cultures on the development, implementation and international transfer of technology. The editors have chosen the machine tools sector as a basis for the discussion as this particular area has undergone dramatic changes over the last 15 years - changes which cannot adequately be explained away by traditional economic theories or international competition. By adopting an 'industrial culture' concept the book explores previously unrecognised issues such as the interrelationships between different industrial cultures and the process of technological innovations in international competition.

Benefiting from the support and involvement of two major international research networks, this collection features the latest research findings in TVET. Members of INAP, the International Network on Innovative Apprenticeship, and VETNET, the Vocational Education and Training Network, have contributed key research findings to this detailed survey of the field. Featuring the inclusion of the internationally recognized memorandum released in April 2012 by the INAP Architecture Apprenticeship Commission, the volume covers a wealth of issues relating to technical and vocational education and training, including exemplar architectures such as successful school-to-work transitions, competence assessment and development models, and governance, including the role of stakeholders. The book provides many opportunities to explore in depth the scholarly debate on TVET, as well as to learn from positive international experiences. It aims to inform the practice of TVET professionals as much as the decision making of administrators.

The Architecture of Innovative Apprenticeship

The transition from school to vocational education is of different quality and performance in the diverse national VET systems and heavily determined by the different structures of governance in the national education and VET systems. In September 2009, the International Network on Innovative Apprenticeship (INAP) hosted its third international conference in Turin bringing together leading researchers in the area of international TVET research. This book summarises all topics discussed within the frame of the Turin conference and overviews current research and analysis in the following fields: Managing successful transitions from school to work * Building vocational identity * Competence evaluation and development in VET * Levels of governance and the role of stakeholders in apprenticeships

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.

In der Arbeitswelt ist diese Leitidee längst angekommen. Es wird daher höchste Zeit, dass diese empfindliche Lücke in der Berufspädagogik geschlossen wird. In diesem Buch werden die umfangreichen Ergebnisse aus der Kompetenzdiagnostik beruflicher Bildung vorgelegt, mit denen gezeigt werden kann, wie die Berufsbildungspraxis diese Lücke schließen kann.

Ein Merkmal der modernen Berufsbildung und wie sie gefördert werden kann

Handbuch Berufsbildungsforschung

Rupert Maclean

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.
