This book provides a rich collection of research and practice perspectives
around central topics in the field of work-based learning (WBL). Based
on an extensive prior literature review of the current state of research
on WBL in TVET contexts on a global scale, key themes of interest for a
competence-based perspective were chosen to call for contributions from
researchers and experts in VET from all around the world. Inspired by
research evidence from a diversity of recent national projects, the book
offers new insights in conducive factors for learning on the level of the
individual subject and the work environment. The papers pick up regional
and national challenges in supporting WBL and in developing and implementing
curricula based on actual work processes. They take a closer look
at the role of tutors in WBL and show new options in the transfer and
recognition of knowledge, skills and competences. The research approaches
presented in this book are meant to support everyone in meeting
their TVET objectives, regardless of region and scale.
