Carrying out studies on competence-based training for career development–introduction to the special issue

With the changes related to the invention and the introduction of new technological devices (Weatherbee, 2010), most notably, the internet (Torkzadeh and Van Dyke, 2002), to the economic crisis (Utting et al., 2012) and to different patterns of social life (Tyler,
2002), our modern society has been defined as information society (Webster, 2002), knowledge society (Hargreaves, 2003) and even liquid society (Bauman, 2000, 2011). Do these labels have a meaning or are they a way of hiding phenomena rather than defining them? In any case, they tend to be taken seriously, at least from the point of view of research. As for the relationship between the information and communication technology and the world of education and training, it is interesting to note the existence
at present, as a sign of the times, of the Journal of e-Learning and Knowledge Society. Leggi tutto “European Journal of Training and Development – Special Issue: Competence-based training”

Career adaptability as a strategic competence for career development: An exploratory study of its key predictors

Federica Bocciardi, Andrea Caputo, Chiara Fregonese, Viviana Langher, Riccardo Sartori

In the current labour market, the competence to adapt is becoming significantly relevant for career development and career success. The construct of career adaptability, i.e. the capability to adapt to changing career-related circumstances and predict advancement in career development, seems to provide a fruitful scientific base for successful career intervention. The purpose of the study is exploratory, with the aim of providing new findings about the key predictors of this meta-competence that are relevant for career development.

The career decision-making competence: a new construct for the career realm

Andrea Ceschi, Arianna Costantini, Susan D. Phillips , Riccardo Sartori

This paper aims to link findings from laboratory-based decision-making research and decision-making competence (DMC) aspects that may be central for career-related decision-making processes. Past research has identified individual differences in rational responses in decision situations, which the authors refer to as DMC. Although there is a robust literature on departures from rational responses focused on heuristics and biases (H&B) in decision-making, such evidence is largely confined to group-level differences observed in psychology laboratories and has not been extended to the realm of career development and workforce behavior.

Access of the Initial VET and Apprenticeship to Socially Disadvantaged Youth in the Initial VET Systems of Lithuania, France, Italy

Access of the initial VET and apprenticeship to the socially disadvantaged youth is widely considered as one of the crucial factors contributing to the development of social cohesion and prevention of social polarization and poverty. This idea is reflected in the wide range of the EU policies and strategies, including Copenhagen process, New Skills for New Jobs, as well as in the national educational policies and strategies.

The “Shadow Movements”: Teachers’ Profession and Performance in the Arts-Based Research Perspective

Educational research, in recent years, focusing its attention on different ways of acquiring and transmitting knowledge within educational contexts, has focused a special attention on practical experience of teachers (performance and efficacy). This interest became valuable material for the understanding of the whole teaching-learning processes.
It is especially the Practice Based Studies that have exerted a new influence in the reading and understanding of teachers’ work. The attention to the concept of practice allows a different interpretation of the work that is now understood as a space, as a context (in the broadest meaning of the term) in which specific skills are created, transmitted, and stored (Shilling, 2003; Schatzi, Knorr-Cetina, von Savigny, 2001).
