Title: | Powerful learning environments in secondary vocational education: towards a shared understanding | Authors: | Placklé, Inge Könings, Karen STRUYVEN, Katrien Libotton, Arno VAN MERRIENBOER, Jeroen Engels, Nadine |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Publisher: | ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD | Source: | European Journal of Teacher Education, 43 (2) , p. 224 -242 | Abstract: | Stakeholders in vocational education have difficulties communicating and collaborating on the design of education because they often lack a shared understanding of what constitutes effective student learning. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the perspectives of teacher educators, teachers and students on good education in vocational education are aligned with what literature says about Powerful Learning Environments (PLEs) and to what extent the perspectives of different groups of stakeholders are mutually aligned. Results of nine focus group interviews showed that perspectives are mostly similar in the three groups. They strongly favoured authentic and challenging pathways, endorsed the importance of supporting opportunities for developing key competences and, although not univocal by students, adaptive teaching and learning support, within a positive and safe learning community. Differences between preferences of different stakeholders on some of the design characteristics of PLEs underline the importance of developing a shared understanding about learning and teaching among stakeholders. | Keywords: | Vocational education;powerful learning environments;stakeholder perspectives;shared understanding;co-design | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/33941 | ISSN: | 0261-9768 | e-ISSN: | 1469-5928 | DOI: | 10.1080/02619768.2019.1681965 | ISI #: | WOS:000495226500001 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
