This paper presents new findings on Chinese VET students’ perceptions of the job market and career possibilities in the context of the negatively stereotyped VET system. The findings are analysed through the lens of Gramsci’s hegemonic power and with reference to Bauman’s individualisation. A lack of confidence was found among the VET students who were about to enter the labour market; moreover, they exhibited a passive acceptance of whatever jobs were available, rather than mindfully choosing. Analysis of the findings suggests that the students gave their active consent to the hegemonic human capital form of thinking and accepted their perceived ‘inadequacy’ and unfavourable places in the division of labour. They were under the impression that they needed to take responsibility for the choices they made as ‘[our] chances all come down to us'. The study concludes that this individualising force could sustain hegemonic control as well as provide the ‘flexible workers’ needed by an economy influenced by neoliberalism.","PeriodicalId":46790,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Continuing Education","volume":"44 1","pages":"392 - 408"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0158037X.2021.1872522","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44435867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper focuses, instead, on police officers who have the role of field-training officers (FTO) and responsibility for presenting, teaching and guiding police students attending the higher education programme. The aim is to characterise the FTOs’ expectations of the students as learners, and discuss how these expectations shape the professional development of the future police officers. Through analysis of interviews with the FTOs, we show how police socialisation is sedimented and perpetuated through situated learning in the workplace. The findings show that the FTOs’ expectations can be characterised as opposites concerning students’ participation in-house and participation on-patrol. In-house, the FTOs expected the students’ participation to be passive, adaptive and obedient, while ‘on-patrol’ the FTOs expected that the students took a highly active role. The paper discusses how the social dimension of learning affects the police students’ participation and progression into the police profession, and, in particular, the development their professional identity as future police officers who can contribute to, and further develop, police practice.","PeriodicalId":46790,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Continuing Education","volume":"44 1","pages":"173 - 188"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0158037X.2020.1865298","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48233619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper therefore aims to contribute knowledge about managers’ learning in managerial practice when work is unpredictable, by investigating how first-line managers deal with unforeseen situations and how they learn in such circumstances in everyday work. Data was collected via qualitative interviews with 40 first-line managers in Swedish elderly care. By using a theoretical framework based on practice and workplace learning theories, the paper analyses how managers address unpredictability in work through three embedded practices: maintaining, modifying and inventing. The paper goes beyond research on leadership training and leadership development by contributing knowledge about the everyday learning of first-line managers when their work is unpredictable. The unpredictable managerial work does not always create chaos; instead, there are very orderly ways of learning from dealing with unforeseen situations. The unforeseen is not as unpredictable as it might seem in managerial work. On the other hand, that which is not yet known calls for an inventing practice, which results in managers learning to take new paths that can create new practices.","PeriodicalId":46790,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Continuing Education","volume":"44 1","pages":"376 - 391"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0158037X.2020.1868990","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48992371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

R. (1983) 2003. The Managed Heart: Commercialization of Human Feeling. 2nd ed. Berkeley, CA: University of California Press], and explores how skin and spa therapy students are constructed as emotional workers in learning processes surrounding the body. Drawing on a poststructural approach, inspired by Foucault, regularities of description and self-description were analysed in the material, which consist of interviews and field notes derived from observations of classroom interaction. The results show how student subjectivities are produced as a response to the presumption about body availability in the educational arrangements. It also shows how students are positioned and position themselves as emotional workers through three reoccurring issues surrounding the body; the body as a private sphere, the body as a place of pain, and disgusting peculiarities of the body. Here, struggling subjectivities emerge, striving to overcome the obstacles that the body might entail in becoming a professional. The participants self-position and are positioned as responsible concerning each other’s’ learning processes, making their bodies available for their classmates to practice on, communicating their thoughts and feelings as posing clients, developing their empathic abilities towards future clients. Thus, the participants are not only produced as emotional workers, but emotional students, pinpointing the necessity of educational research on emotional labour.","PeriodicalId":46790,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Continuing Education","volume":"44 1","pages":"347 - 361"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0158037X.2020.1865300","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48039624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a protracted process subject to the interplay of a constellation of factors. With the aim of uncovering potential contributors to positive enculturative outcomes, this paper reports on the case of Wang, a home-trained, home-based Chinese scientist who earned full professorship at the relatively young age of 36. An in-depth, semi-structured interview is conducted in which Wang gives retrospective accounts of significant experiences in his journey. A range of supplementary information, including representative publications, an up-to-date list of scholarly achievements, and his personal webpage at the official institutional website, is also collected to corroborate and add nuance to Wang’s self-told story. Data are analysed using the method of inductive content analysis and discussed within the framework of situated learning theories. Varying extents of mutual engagement with/as the master and mutually facilitative dual engagement in target communities are found to characterise Wang’s enculturative success. Implications are drawn on how similarly positioned novice researchers can be supported in their quest for enculturation during and beyond graduate studies.","PeriodicalId":46790,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Continuing Education","volume":"44 1","pages":"135 - 154"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0158037X.2020.1830754","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47787938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the number of doctoral candidates is rising, new positions are not created at the same rate, leading to scarcer career opportunities in academia and the need to develop alternative career paths. Previous studies have much focused on the connection between mobility and career development among junior academics in the STEM fields, but the significance of mobility for SSH PhD candidates and their career development remains unanswered. Does spatial mobility have any effects there, and if so, which? For this reason, this paper studied doctoral SSH candidates from Germany with mobility experiences in the Netherlands. The findings show that spatial mobility affects the perception of the PhD candidate's career in several, sometimes ambivalent ways. It shows that the experience of mobility narrows the planning to a career in academia, contributes to the informal learning process of the candidate, and expands the horizon for possible opportunities in academia. The perceived asset of mobility varies alongside the internationalisation of disciplines and whether the candidate plans to return to Germany or pursue an international career.","PeriodicalId":46790,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Continuing Education","volume":"44 1","pages":"119 - 134"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0158037X.2020.1826919","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42601651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article presents findings from an interview-based study of professionals in Australia that investigated their experiences of work and learning in a variety of complex adaptive organisations. The focus of this article is on a particular aspect of the study’s findings which identified that, despite the organisations studied espousing support for learning through work, the professionals interviewed described learning through engaging in ‘fluid work’, and that organisational learning and development systems and practices were still largely oriented towards formality and structure. The study contributes to the research field of work and learning, through the use of complex adaptive systems theory to examine how organisational complexity influences professionals’ experiences of work and learning. It also empirically indicates the interrelatedness of work and learning in complex adaptive organisations. The implications of this study suggest that the focus for understanding and reforming organisational learning and development systems and practices needs to shift away from structure and measurement and towards the interplay of organisational complexity, fluidity of work, and experiences of learning primarily through work.","PeriodicalId":46790,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Continuing Education","volume":"43 1","pages":"261 - 276"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0158037X.2020.1814714","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48941439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
