ABSTRACT

In this article, we propose a framework for understanding career guidance policy. We use a systems theory approach informed by Gramscian theories of politics and power to make sense of this complexity. Firstly, we argue that career guidance policy is made by and for people and that there is a need to recognise all of the political and civil society actors involved. Secondly, we argue that policymaking comprises a series of ideological, technical and practical processes. Finally, we contend that policymaking takes place in a complex, multi-level environment which is can be described across three levels as the policy framing, middle and street level tiers.

摘要

在本文中，我们提出了一个理解职业指导政策的框架。我们使用基于葛兰西政治和权力理论的系统理论方法来理解这种复杂性。首先，我们认为职业指导政策是由人们制定并为人们制定的，并且有必要承认所涉及的所有政治和公民社会参与者。其次，我们认为决策包括一系列意识形态、技术和实践过程。最后，我们认为政策制定是在一个复杂的、多层次的环境中进行的，可以将其描述为三个层次，即政策框架层、中间层和街道层。
