EGOS 2012 – Helsinki, Finland
Subtheme "Self-reinforcing Processes in Organizations, Netzworks and
Professions"
'Self-reinforcement dynamics' are defined as a process of positive
feedback in which the increase of a particular variable leads to a further
increase of this very variable. Examples of such intended and unintended
processes, which bring about an action pattern which eventually gets deeply
embedded in (inter-) organizational or professional practice, are
self-justification, increasing returns, positive and negative network
externalities, and adjusting expectations. The sub-theme particularly
invites contributions that focus on one or more specific issues (see web
page below), including for instance "Organizational learning and
self-reinforcing dynamics". The sub-theme intends to foster an exchange of
theoretical ideas and empirical research results across various substantive
issues and theoretical traditions that are important for better
understanding self-reinforcing dynamics. The due date for your initial
paper proposals is January 16, 2012. If accepted, the due date for your
full paper is May 31, 2012. You can find more info about EGOS 2012 and our
sub-theme at:
http://www.egos2012.net/2011/06/sub-theme-20-self-reinforcing-processes-in-organizations-networks-and-professions/

VETNET programme at ECER 2011 Berlin
Over 2000 researchers took part in the European Conference on Educational
Research (ECER) from 12th to 16th of September at the Freie Universität
Berlin. The programme of VETNET, one of the largest European research
networks in vocational education and training, covered over a hundred
presentations. The opening colloquium was designed to facilitate discussion
among the participants. After four statements by Fernando Marhuenda
(Valencia), Vibe Aarkrog (Arhuis), Vidmantas Tutlys (Kaunas) and Georg
Spöttl (Bremen), seven groups discussed possible future scenarios for VET.
Excellent ideas and critical points for the research community were
discussed and can be incorporated into a coming report. One of the main
strands of VETNET presentations concentrated on the governance of VET
cultures. Another rich presentation strand focused on regional VET
collaborations at different learning venues. Some presentations looked at
the effect of work based learning for apprenticeship students. A few
presentations were found under topics like digital media and the discussion
on European Frameworks. All in all, this year's presentations were of high
quality and triggered vital discussions. The Conference proceedings will be
finalised by the end of October and presented as before under:

Research paper: Vocational education and training at higher qualification
levels
Published by Cedefop in 2011, this research paper, covering 13 countries
and six sectors, examines the kind of higher qualifications that are
currently offered within vocational education, including their features,
governance patterns, and degree of academisation. The paper also discusses
wider issues such as the parity of esteem between vocational and academic
education, and the forms and degree of labour market involvement.

Strengthening the learning outcomes orientation in higher education
Background context, examples and recommendations in view of internal and
external quality assurance.
Karin Luomi-Messerer & Genoveva Brandstetter (2011) Vienna: facultas.wuv
The use of learning outcomes (LO) in higher education has gained
considerably in importance in recent years. This development is widely
expected to have positive effects on the quality of study programmes. The
book highlights the challenges and opportunities for using the learning
outcomes approach in higher education, focussing on internal and external
processes of quality assurance. The book is divided into two parts. Part 1
outlines recent European and national developments and discusses central
concepts and definitions. Part 2 includes recommendations and examples on
how to use learning outcomes in internal and external quality assurance and
on how to promote the use of learning outcomes in higher education.
This publication is only available in German: "Stärkung der
Lernergebnisorientierung im Hochschulbereich. Hintergründe, Beispiele und
Empfehlungen im Kontext interner und externer Qualitätssicherung". Link:

National pathways and European dimensions of trainers' professional
development
Edited by Simone R. Kirpal
The publication details of this book, which was already announced in the
August edition of the L&W Newsletter, are now available at:
http://www.peterlang.com/ (info page).
This book comprises contributions that address the professional
development of training practitioners both in a national as well as
European perspective. It can be considered as being complementary to a
number of European studies and research and development projects carried
out during recent years to specifically address the situation of teachers
and trainers in vocational education and training. The motivation has been
to foster the exchange of national examples of good practice of the
professional development of trainers and to relate these national
approaches to the broader European perspective. Finally, emerging trends in
the area of teaching and training that will challenge trainers' roles in
the future present a key topic that is being addressed from various
perspectives.

ECER VETNET Proceedings: Interim review
The collected Proceedings of the VETNET programme at ECER (European
Conference on Educational Research) now include more than 400 papers from
14 years. This is a valuable resource of shared knowledge about vocational
education in Europe (available at: www.ecer-vetnet.wifo-gate.org). But how
'European' are the Proceedings papers? This question was raised in an
interim review, prepared for this year's VETNET Assembly, focusing on three
aspects: contents, authorship and the countries involved. Selected outcomes
include: A third of all papers are European, in that they examine European
or EU issues or compare European countries. Not more than 6% of all papers
were produced by transnational (i.e. 'European') teams. Most papers are
related to countries from Western and Northern Europe. Above all, the focal
role of the UK and Germany in transnational studies is evident. Much less
frequently represented are Central and Eastern European countries.
Altogether, a lot still needs to be achieved before we can regard the
Proceedings as a truly European resource! Full review see

ageing in such important areas of daily life as health, activity,
education, citizenship and finances. An international conference of the
PALADIN Project on "Promoting conscious and active learning and ageing: How
to face current and future challenges?" will be held at Coimbra, Portugal,
20-21 October 2011. Target groups include professionals, researchers and
students of human and social sciences, adult education and training. For

Call for information: Overview of European research projects
Contributions are invited for updating the Overview of European research
projects [www.projects.wifo-gate.org], provided as part of the WIFO
Gateway.
This overview brings together resources which are normally scattered
across websites of various EU programmes, institutions and networks. Of
particular interest are recent projects still in operation such as could
provide a stimulus for researchers to establish links in areas of joint
interest. The overview focuses on transnational research projects, mainly
supported by EU programmes, in the areas of human resource development,
vocational education, work and learning. Participants in these projects are
invited to send the following information to the editor (sm@wifo-gate.org):

Research paper: Vocational education and training at higher qualification
levels
Published by Cedefop in 2011, this research paper, covering 13 countries
and six sectors, examines the kind of higher qualifications that are
currently offered within vocational education, including their features,
governance patterns, and degree of academisation. The paper also discusses
wider issues such as the parity of esteem between vocational and academic
education, and the forms and degree of labour market involvement.

Strengthening the learning outcomes orientation in higher education
Background context, examples and recommendations in view of internal and
external quality assurance.
Karin Luomi-Messerer & Genoveva Brandstetter (2011) Vienna: facultas.wuv
The use of learning outcomes (LO) in higher education has gained
considerably in importance in recent years. This development is widely
expected to have positive effects on the quality of study programmes. The
book highlights the challenges and opportunities for using the learning
outcomes approach in higher education, focussing on internal and external
processes of quality assurance. The book is divided into two parts. Part 1
outlines recent European and national developments and discusses central
concepts and definitions. Part 2 includes recommendations and examples on
how to use learning outcomes in internal and external quality assurance and
on how to promote the use of learning outcomes in higher education.
This publication is only available in German: "Stärkung der
Lernergebnisorientierung im Hochschulbereich. Hintergründe, Beispiele und
Empfehlungen im Kontext interner und externer Qualitätssicherung". Link:

National pathways and European dimensions of trainers' professional
development
Edited by Simone R. Kirpal
The publication details of this book, which was already announced in the
August edition of the L&W Newsletter, are now available at:
http://www.peterlang.com/ (info page).
This book comprises contributions that address the professional
development of training practitioners both in a national as well as
European perspective. It can be considered as being complementary to a
number of European studies and research and development projects carried
out during recent years to specifically address the situation of teachers
and trainers in vocational education and training. The motivation has been
to foster the exchange of national examples of good practice of the
professional development of trainers and to relate these national
approaches to the broader European perspective. Finally, emerging trends in
the area of teaching and training that will challenge trainers' roles in
the future present a key topic that is being addressed from various
perspectives.

ECER VETNET Proceedings: Interim review
The collected Proceedings of the VETNET programme at ECER (European
Conference on Educational Research) now include more than 400 papers from
14 years. This is a valuable resource of shared knowledge about vocational
education in Europe (available at: www.ecer-vetnet.wifo-gate.org). But how
'European' are the Proceedings papers? This question was raised in an
interim review, prepared for this year's VETNET Assembly, focusing on three
aspects: contents, authorship and the countries involved. Selected outcomes
include: A third of all papers are European, in that they examine European
or EU issues or compare European countries. Not more than 6% of all papers
were produced by transnational (i.e. 'European') teams. Most papers are
related to countries from Western and Northern Europe. Above all, the focal
role of the UK and Germany in transnational studies is evident. Much less
frequently represented are Central and Eastern European countries.
Altogether, a lot still needs to be achieved before we can regard the
Proceedings as a truly European resource! Full review see
