ABSTRACT

Efforts to create career learning environments which provide students with work experience, skills for making choices and career guidance dialogues, appear to stagnate in vocational education and training (VET) institutions in the Netherlands. In this case study we explore how teachers and their managers make sense of career guidance. We found varying views of career guidance, which may be contributing to the stagnation. Dialogue between teachers and managers is crucial in coming to a collective sense-making of career guidance, and a transformational management style seems to instigate sense-making and ultimately change. A collective sense-making of career guidance may be an area that needs to be examined for new possibilities of transforming behaviours relevant to providing career guidance to students.

摘要

为学生提供工作经验、选择技能和职业指导对话的职业学习环境的努力似乎在荷兰的职业教育和培训 (VET) 机构中停滞不前。在本案例研究中，我们探讨了教师及其管理者如何理解职业指导。我们发现了对职业指导的不同看法，这可能是导致停滞的原因。教师和管理人员之间的对话对于形成职业指导的集体意义至关重要，而变革性的管理风格似乎会激发意义制定并最终改变。职业指导的集体意识可能是一个需要研究的领域，以寻找改变与为学生提供职业指导相关的行为的新可能性。
