“…In doing so, they resorted to earlier work experiences in teamwork settings. This aspect is also found in earlier research (Freidus & Krasnow, 1991;Madfes, 1989;Mayotte, 2003). At the same time, the intensity of interacting with adolescents generated experiences of change, which had a strong personal impact at the level of identity.…”

“…The competencies they bring into schools were shown to be quite diverse, such as problem solving, coping, and communicating with students, colleagues, parents and school administration (Chambers, 2002;Gonzales Rodriguez & Sjostrom, 1998;Haipt, 1987Haipt, -1988. Mayotte (2003), exploring the perceived influences of earlier experiences of four career changers on their classroom practice, found second-career teachers using knowing-why, knowing-how and knowing-whom competencies developed in their first careers. Chambers (2002), studying the effects of previous successful careers of ten second-career teachers on their development as teachers by interviewing them, showed that the respondents felt proficient in the content area of instruction, in solving instructional problems, in curriculum design and in their approach to the task of teaching.…”

Findings are reported from two studies examining from which specific backgrounds and in which ways second-career teachers make the transition to teaching. The transfer of existing competencies to teaching is shown to involve a challenging interplay between experiences of continuity and change. Continuity was found at the level of beliefs. Change predominated at the level of the work environment. Continuity as well as change were experienced at the levels of behaviour, competencies, identity and mission. Several aspects of career changers' workplace learning are identified which deserve special attention in designing and implementing alternative certification programmes. r

“…netwerken). Onderzoek naar loopbaancompetenties toont aan dat loopbaancompetenties een positief effect kunnen hebben op onder andere loopbaansucces (Kuijpers, Schyns & Scheerens, 2006), werknemerstevredenheid en betrokkenheid (Colakoglu, 2011;Kong, 2013) en inzetbaarheid (Mayotte, 2003). De verschillende perspectieven in de literatuur hebben echter andere uitgangspunten van waaruit ze loopbaancompetenties conceptualiseren.…”

In dit artikel geven we een overzicht van InleidingOp de huidige dynamische arbeidsmarkt is het voor werknemers steeds belangrijker om zelf de verantwoordelijkheid te nemen voor het vormgeven van hun werk en loopbaan (Segers & Inceoglu, 2012). Door een toenemende druk op flexibiliteit en verandering wordt de traditionele loopbaan, die gekarakteriseerd wordt door voorspelbaarheid en verticale groei binnen een organisatie, steeds meer vervangen door de 'nieuwe loopbaan'. Daar waar de traditionele loopbaan gericht was op 'lifetime employment' en voorspelbaarheid, wordt de nieuwe loopbaan gekarakteriseerd door meer arbeidstransities, onvoorspelbaarheid en proactief zelfmanagement. Zo spreken Arthur, Khapova en Wilderom (2005) in dit verband van de boundaryless career, een loopbaan waarin werknemers zelf het initiatief dienen te nemen om flexibel en inzetbaar ('employable') te zijn. Hall en Moss (1998) spreken over de protean career, waarbij het voornaamste doel van het individu is om zichzelf optimaal te ontplooien. De conclusie is dat werknemers op een proactieve wijze hun eigen loopbaan zullen moeten vormgeven als zij succesvol willen zijn op de huidige arbeidsmarkt. Werknemers worden niet alleen geconfronteerd met werkomgevingen die steeds dynamischer zijn, ook hun loopbanen worden in hun geheel complexer en langer, waardoor de uitdaging om gezond en gemotiveerd te blijven én succesvol te zijn

“…They are mostly from social services suggesting that they have a higher teaching readiness and could make a better start than novice teachers. Indeed, career changers are observed to contribute into their teaching career with their work skills and experiences as well as with their broader life experiences (Anderson, Fry, & Hourcade, 2014;Chambers, 2002;Justina, 2012;Mayotte, 2003;Mccarty, 2013;Resta, Huling, & Rainwater, 2001;Wagner & Imanuel, 2014). If this be so, the careers which they are changing from are supposed to shape the content and methodology of their teaching to a certain extend.…”

Teaching career is the widest state employment type in Turkey. The career is resourced by many higher education institutions besides the ones deploying regular teacher training programs. Teacher candidates other than the graduates from education faculties have to attend a program specially designed to instruct on foundations of education such as theories, principles, strategies, planning, teaching methods and assessment. That alternative teacher certification program paves the way to transition to teaching career as well. This study was carried out with 11 religious officials who intend to shift into teaching career. The data was collected through 5 essays written by each participant while they were attending the program. The study was conducted as content analyses of total 55 essays. The analyses revealed that the participants, 1 preacher-woman, 4 mosque leaders-preachers and 6 Quran instructors, did not display any role confliction, intended to use their skills and experiences developed through their current careers selectively. The results were discussed with relevant available literature.
