Cross-cultural adaptation of the Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth (PEM-CY) into German

Background: Concepts such as participation and environment may differ across cultures. Consequently, to use a measure like the Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth (PEM-CY) in other than the original English-speaking contexts, cultural adaptation needs to be assured. The aim of this study was to cross-culturally translate and adapt the PEM-CY into German as it is used in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Methods: Fifteen parents of children and adolescents with disabilities from three German speaking countries participated in three rounds of think-aloud interviews. We followed the procedure of cultural equivalence guidelines including two additional steps. Data was analyzed by content analysis using semantic, idiomatic, experiential and conceptual equivalence. Results: Results show adaptations mainly focused on experiential and conceptual equivalence, with conceptual equivalence being the most challenging to reach. Examples of experiential equivalence included adapting the examples of activities in the PEM-CY to reflect those typical in German speaking countries. Conceptual equivalence mainly addressed aspects of “involvement” and “environment” of children and adolescents and was reached through adaptations such as enhanced instructions and structures, and additional definitions. Conclusions: This study presents a cross-cultural translation and adaptation process to develop a German version of the PEM-CY that is suitable for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Using a modified cultural adaptation process, a culturally adapted version of PEM-CY (German) is now available for research, practice and further validation.

Students’ perception of what they learn in Teaching Hotel Château Bethlehem [EuroChrie Conference (Cooperative Education and Research for Hospitality & Tourism Educators), Freiburg (D) 16-19 October 2013]

Bachelor students of Hotel Management School Maastricht, part of Zuyd University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands, start their educational program with a semester of orientation on Hotel Operations in theory and practice. The teaching staff was curious about students’ perception of what they learn during their duty in the Teaching Hotel Château Bethlehem. Students were interviewed about the learning environment, the coaching and their learning outcomes. The interview findings gave insight in different unexpected and subconscious learning outcomes together with the conditions under which they occur during practice-based learning. Findings were presented to the teaching staff during a work conference. The entire team emphasised the value of the research method for fine-tuning students’ learning outcomes.

Lerend werken in de docentenwerkplaats

In het vmbo zien we een toenemende interesse voor nieuwe activerende, motiverende en op competentieontwikkeling gerichte werkvormen. Deze ontwikkelingen hebben grote gevolgen voor de taken, rollen en competenties van docenten. Van hen wordt verwacht dat zij gezamenlijk met hun collega's nieuwe programma's en onderwijsarrangementen ontwerpen. Het is van belang docenten-in-opleiding, lerarenopleiders en onderzoekers bij dit proces te betrekken. Door sterkere relaties tot stand te brengen tussen Schoolontwikkeling, Opleiding van leraren, Onderwijskundig onderzoek en Professionele ontwikkeling van leraren (SOOP) kunnen individuele leerprocessen worden ingebed in en bijdragen aan collectieve leerprocessen. In dit artikel wordt verslag gedaan van een onderzoek dat vanuit een SOOP-perspectief is opgezet bij docenten die betrokken zijn bij het vormgeven van competentiegericht voorbereidend middelbaar beroepsonderwijs. Het Cognitive Apprenticeship Model (Collins, Brown, & Newman, 1989) lijkt een goed kader te bieden voor het vormgeven van competentiegericht vmbo. We hebben onderzocht in hoeverre de praktijktheorieën van de betrokken docenten kunnen worden getypeerd met behulp van concepten en principes uit dit model. Daarnaast vroegen we ons af in hoeverre en op welke wijze zich daarbij een (eventuele) spanning tussen het door Sfard (1998) onderscheiden acquisitie- en participatieperspectief manifesteert. Uit de met behulp van concept maps, cued en semigestructureerde interviews verzamelde resultaten blijkt dat de vier dimensies van het Cognitive Apprenticeship Model een rol spelen in de praktijktheorieën, hoewel didactische maatregelen en sociologische aspecten van de leeromgeving duidelijk meer naar voren kwamen dan aandacht voor leerinhouden en opbouw van het onderwijsprogramma. Verder waren bij zes docenten passages te identificeren die duiden op een spanning tussen acquisitie en participatie, bij zeven docenten konden geen voorbeelden gevonden worden.

Constructivist learning theories and complex learning environments

Learning theories broadly characterised as constructivist, agree on the importance to learning of the environment, but differ on what exactly it is that constitutes this importance. Accordingly, they also differ on the educational consequences to be drawn from the theoretical perspective. Cognitive constructivism focuses on the active role of the learner, and on real-life learning. Social-learning theories, comprising the socio-historical, socio-cultural theories as well as the situated-learning and community-of-practice approaches, emphasise learning as being a process within and a product of the social context. Critical-learning theory stresses that this social context is a man-made construction, which should be approached critically and transformed in order to create a better world. We propose to view these different approaches as contributions to our understanding of the learning-environment relationship, and their educational impact as questions to be addressed to educational contexts.

Vocational education in the Netherlands: in search of a new identity

When the Netherlands developed a national system of vocational education at the end of the 19th century, it was a direct answer to obvious shortcomings in the technical and trade professions (De Jonge, 1968). It concentrated on training craftsmen for the traditional, mainly agrarian economy, and technicians for the new, industrial economy. The training being offered was closely related to actual professional practices. In the first place, there was a very stable occupational structure, in which professional knowledge and skills did not become obsolete quickly. This, in turn, made it possible that education was -and remained - up-to-date. Secondly, almost all teachers were also experienced craftsmen, who only started teaching after a long career. The teachers learned actual professional practices through direct experience. In addition, students were also frequently familiar with actual practice, because the occupational structure was so stable: they knew exactly for which profession they were being trained. A stable occupational structure, a clear occupational orientation by the students, and teachers with extensive firsthand work experience ensured that vocational education was a powerful learning environment. For this reason, a dual system had hardly any added value. A consequence is that the apprenticeship system in the Netherlands - as opposed to almost all surrounding countries - had a lower status and fewer students than full-time education (Teerling & Bijveld, 1982).

Teachers' individual action theories about competence-based education: the value of the cognitive apprenticeship model

Dutch prevocational secondary schools are reforming their educational programmes to make them more competence-based. This reform has substantial implications for the roles played by teachers. Yet, little empirical research has been conducted on teachers' processes of competence development in vocational settings. This study explores teachers' individual action theories regarding the introduction of competence-based prevocational secondary education. The cognitive apprenticeship model provides a conceptual framework for addressing this issue. The research questions addressed here are: How do teachers value elements of the cognitive apprenticeship model in designing and delivering competence-based prevocational secondary education?, and, What individual action theories do teachers have regarding competence-based prevocational secondary education? The study was designed in two phases. In the qualitative phase, interviews and concept map techniques were used, while the quantitative phase employed a questionnaire. Teachers valued elements of the cognitive apprenticeship model differently, and suggested two additional features: a custommade educational approach and the professionalisation of teachers.
