Angļu valodas vārdu krājuma attīstīšanas veidi tehnikuma ēdināšanas pakalpojumu specialitātes audzēkņu apmācībā

2019

Dotā zinātniskā pētījuma temats ir izpētīt dažādus angļu valodas vārdu krājuma attīstīšanas veidus tehnikuma ēdināšanas pakalpojumu specialitātes audzēkņu apmācībā. Viena no problēmām apgūstot profesionālo vārdu krājumu ir, ka nav pietiekošu mācību materiālu, kas palīdzētu audzēkņiem uzlabot to un mūsdienu skolēniem vairs nepatīk tradicionālā mācīšanās no grāmatām, kā tas bija agrāk. Bez tam, neviens mācību līdzeklis nepievērš uzmanību skolēnu mācīšanās stiliem, kas ietekmē viņu mācīšanās rezultātus. Pamatojoties uz teorētiskās literatūras izpēti par angļu valodas mācīšanu īpašiem nolūkiem, vārdu krājuma attīstīšanu vispārīgajā un profesionālajā angļu valodā un dažādiem mācīšanās stiliem, t…

‘Stars’ or ‘professionals’: the imagined vocation and exclusive knowledge of translators in Israel

2010

Amb l’examen de la professionalització suspesa de l’ocupació traductora a Israel, aquest article estudia dos tipus de discursos d’autopresentació i estratègies d’estatus: d’una banda, els dels traductors literaris, i de l’altra, els dels traductors tècnics, subtituladors i traductors literaris que no pertanyen a l’elit. L’anàlisi del primer grup es fonamenta en diversos centenars d’articles retrat i altres reportatges en els mitjans de comunicació, que situen en primer pla 23 traductors reconeguts, mentre que la del segon grup es basa en resultats provisionals d’entrevistes obertes amb 22 treballadors de la traducció no pertanyents a l’elit (seleccionats a partir d’una mostra més àmplia reu…

Conflicting vocational identities and careers in the sector of tourism

2004

This article investigates the formation of vocational identities of workers in the sector of tourism in the Czech Republic, Greece and Spain. Major challenges and conflicts shape the sector of tourism as a particular labour space. Emerging issues relate to the need for diversifying the offer of services to face seasonality, strategies of entrepreneurial merging and demands for mobility and flexibility of the workforce. For the individual worker, a complex combination of related factors lead to tensions and contradictions, particularly in terms of changes in work organization, flexibility and how vocational identities of workers are shaped. An active policy for social dialogue and the improv…

2019

Abstract This paper examines the labor-market returns to a new form of postsecondary vocational education: vocational master's degrees. We use individual fixed effects models on a matched sample of students and non-students from Finland to capture any time-invariant differences across individuals. We find that attendance in vocational master's programs leads to an earnings increase of more than seven percent five years after entry. The estimated effect remains positive even if selection on unobservables is twice as strong as selection on observables. Earnings gains are similar by gender and age, but they are marginally higher for those in the health sector than for those in the business or …

Comprehensive school reform and labor market outcomes over the lifecycle: Evidence from Finland

2021

This study focused on the labor market effects of the Finnish comprehensive school reform in 1972–1977 over the lifecycle. The reform increased the age at which students are separated into vocational and general tracks from 11 to 16 as well as updated the curriculum to include more general content instead of vocational. Using longitudinal administrative register data and exploiting the gradual implementation of the reform, I found a negative effect on employment in early career and a positive effect later in the lifecycle. Results for labor earnings are more nuanced and sensitive to different model specifications, but a positive effect was found in the late career. After the reform, the tre…

Effects of the School-to-Work Group Method among young people

2007

Abstract This study examines effects of the School-to-Work Group Method among 17–25-year-old young people facing the transition from vocational college to work. After baseline measurement ( N  = 416) participants were randomized into experimental and control groups. The results of ten month follow-up ( N  = 334) showed notable beneficial impacts of the group method on both employment itself and on how well it matched participants’ education and personal career plans. The group method also had a significant preventive effect on psychological distress and depression symptoms among those initially at risk of suffering from mental disorder. Moreover, it considerably increased participants’ pers…

Career adaptability and its relation to self-regulation, career construction, and academic engagement among Spanish university students

2016

Abstract This study analyzed the psychometric properties of the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS) in a Spanish speaking sample and then its relationships with adaptive readiness (i.e., self-regulation), career construction and adapting responses (i.e., vocational coping behaviors), and adaptation results (academic engagement, burnout, and vocational identity). The measures were completed by 577 Spanish university students. The psychometric properties of the newly translated CAAS Spanish Form included internal consistency values ranging from good to excellent for the total score and for the subscales. The results obtained through the confirmatory factor analysis verified the presence of th…

Factors promoting vocational students’ learning at work: study on student experiences

2012

In order to promote effective pedagogical practices for students’ work-based learning, we need to understand better how students’ learning at work can be supported. This paper examines the factors explaining students’ workplace learning (WPL) outcomes, addressing three aspects: (1) student-related individual factors, (2) social and structural features of workplace and (3) educational practices related to the organising of WPL periods. The data were collected from final-year vocational students (N = 3106, n = 1603) via an Internet questionnaire. The findings from regression analysis showed that students’ WPL outcomes cannot be seen merely as consequences of student-related individual factors…

Building workplace learning with polytechnics in Finland: multiple goals and cooperation in enhancing connectivity

2013

This article examines the goals of employers when they organise work placements for students. It explores how far, in cooperating with polytechnics, employers adhere to a connective model of students’ work experiences within their organisations. The paper makes use of a quantitative study based on employers’ responses to a questionnaire (n = 269). The study identifies four groups of employers: employers who emphasise the employment perspective, cooperative developers, employers with multiple goals and employers concerned with the development of their own work. The differences in employer profiles are discussed with respect to development of curricula and the higher education system. The pap…
