Organisational transition challenges in the Finnish vocational education – perspective of distributed pedagogical leadership
2012
The article examines organisational challenges in the Finnish vocational education and training (VET) to support students’ lifelong learning pathways. Investigation of organizational challenges is done through the students’ transitions either within one school level or from one school level to another or to working life. For supporting the students’ learning pathways, it is argued here that specific attention has to be paid to collaborative practices of the personnel in order to guarantee the transitional fluency. This kind of collaboration is here called distributed pedagogical leadership. For examining the shared practices in the frame of distributed pedagogical leadership, the article in…

¿Navegando contra la corriente? : transición educativo-laboral de jóvenes egresados de la educación secundaria técnico profesional en Chile
2020
La educación media técnico profesional (EMTP) representa un componente central de la oferta formativa de la educación secundaria en Chile, cubriendo un porcentaje cercano al 40% de los estudiantes de los dos últimos grados de enseñanza obligatoria, fundamentalmente aquellos que provienen de los sectores más pobres de la socidad. Tal relevancia, sin embargo, no ha tenido un correlato en el desarrollo de políticas tendientes a fortalecer su modelo formativo o articularse con las necesidades productivas del país. Los antecedentes muestran que los egresdados de la EMTP presentan recorridos hetrogéneos y especialmente complejos. Factores estructurales vinculados a los altos grados de vulnerabili…

Special education students in transition to further education: A four-year register-based follow-up study in Finland
2016
Abstract This study examines the transition of special education students into upper secondary education in Finland. The national register-based school-level dataset comprises three compulsory school-leaving cohorts of 2004, 2006 and 2009 including all students and schools providing lower secondary education. Special education students (Tier 3) are divided into four different groups based on their curriculum adjustments. The school-level effect of special education provision is evaluated with statistical models exploiting the panel nature of the data.

A tale of two trade-offs: Effects of opening pathways from vocational to higher education
2021
Abstract This paper studies the effects of a vocational secondary school reform implemented in Finland between 1999 and 2001. The reform extended vocational two-year programs to three years and made all graduates eligible to apply for university. For identification, we exploit the gradual implementation of the reform, and use a differences-in-differences approach and administrative register data up to 13 years after the reform. We find no long-term effect on enrollment in further education or labor market outcomes. However, our results illustrate that the reform increased the dropout probability. Thus, the benefits of opening pathways from vocational to higher education may be outweighed by…
