The purpose of this article is to initiate a Nordic exchange of research-based knowledge about elderly care education. The aim is to shed light on and discuss learning issues that the Nordic countries have in common. Changing ways of understanding and performing care work throughout the Nordic region create a need for new understandings of the roles of welfare professionals and of issues of their learning. In Denmark, elderly care education is anchored in social and health care programmes within the vocational education system. Targeted research has taken place in the field since 2006, but no attempt so far has been made to create a systematic overview of the existing research. This article presents the results of a scoping review of the research in social and health care education in the Danish context. The review includes 45 publications in which themes and types of learning actor are identified. The article concludes that there are relatively few studies that take a learning perspective on social and health care education programmes. The analysis shows a predominance of studies that examine the trainee as a learner, while few study teachers and care workers as learners or focus on organisational learning.

There is a notable difference in occupational injury rates in the two Scandinavian countries, Sweden and Denmark, with the latter having a 40% higher rate of fatal occupational injuries in the construction industry. This study explored differences in the vocational education and training (VET) systems between Sweden and Denmark that may be important for students' safety learning and practice during VET. In both countries, students participate in full-time education, and the curriculum includes school-based as well as company-based training. However, during company-based training Swedish students retain their student status, whereas Danish students are employed as apprentices. From a perspective of viewing safety as a social practice developed through interactions of different social and institutional bodies, the analysis

In contemporary western society, welfare work in general, particularly in education, has been struck by an endless series of policy reforms, discourses and technologies. These have consequences not only for the production of professional identity, but also for the way educational tasks are understood and handled. Inspired by the work of post-structuralist thinkers such as Foucault, Rose, Ball, Alvesson and Willmott, and the psychoanalytical thinker Ž ižek, the authors describe some of these consequences by analysing two examples which stem from the Danish educational context: upper secondary schools and vocational educational training. The first example shows how a 'strong' state logic results in a focus on numbers, which leads to a form of cynical leadership and an undermining of teachers' professional judgment. The second example shows how leaders and teachers in a vocational training school, with help from critical utopian action researchers, seek to innovate their practices in accordance with 'soft' market logic. As a consequence, teachers' professionalism is 'hijacked' by a new form of organizational professionalism.
