Lærings- og arbeidsvaner hos lærlinger

Abstract

In this paper, we present a study that focuses on the vocational education and training (VET) system in Norway and the part of the training undertaken in training establishments. The purpose of the study is to examine whether the use of an electronic monitoring tool improves the apprentices' learning-and work habits as well as their professional awareness.The study is twofold. Firstly, we used a quantitative design to illuminate the phenomenon of 'volition', as an expression of learning and work habits. In this part of the study 64 apprentices answered a questionnaire. Secondly, we conducted a qualitative study in which three apprentices were interviewed about their experiences with the electronic monitoring tool and what it entails in terms of their learning and work habits, as well as their professional awareness.Findings indicate that the electronic monitoring tool helps to reinforce communication between the apprentices and instructors. In addition, findings indicate that apprentices' reflection and effort increases, which can be an important contribution to appropriate learning and work habits.In sum, our findings suggest that an electronic monitoring tool appears to contribute positively to both appropriate learning and work habits, as well as management of apprentices' understanding of their future professional responsibilities.

Dette samsvarer med våre funn.…”
