Presentamos un estudio de producción educativa de carácter exploratorio en el contexto del sistema de formación profesional de grado superior español. Entendemos como outputs educativos las finalidades propias de la formación profesional consistente en responder a las demandas del mercado laboral y lograr una adecuada inserción sociolaboral de sus egresados. El objetivo es doble. Por un lado, analizamos la influencia de determinados inputs «no escolares» como la «personalidad eficaz» y la «clase social subjetiva». Por otro, comprobamos el grado de congruencia existente entre los distintos modelos evaluativos utilizados en los dos ámbitos en que se desarrollan actualmente estas enseñanzas: el educativo y el laboral. Para ello, utilizamos una muestra no probabilística por conveniencia de 374 estudiantes pertenecientes al segundo curso de distintos ciclos formativos de grado superior situados en centros educativos de la provincia de Barcelona (España). Se les administró un cuestionario informatizado donde se recogían las principales variables explicativas tomadas en consideración. El análisis se basó en un modelo econométrico logit ordenado. Los resultados obtenidos señalan como la «expectativa de éxito», en tanto dimensión del constructo «personalidad eficaz», y la «clase social subjetiva» determinan positivamente los resultados. En segundo lugar, podemos afirmar que no existe relación alguna entre los resultados medidos por las evaluaciones realizadas desde el ámbito educativo y laboral. De este modo, a falta de una mayor reflexión y evidencia científica, es posible que haya que replantear la política evaluativa del sistema de formación profesional dando un paso más hacia su necesaria integración. We present an exploratory education production study in the context of the Spanish higher vocational training system. We consider the educational outputs to be the very purposes of professional training, i.e., responding to the demands of the labour market and achieving adequate social and labour integration for graduates. This article pursues two aims. On the one hand, we analyse the influence of certain "non-school" inputs such as "effective personality" and "subjective social class". On the other hand, we check the degree of congruence among the different assessment models used in the two areas in which these teachings are currently developed: education and labour. To this end, we use a non-probabilistic convenience sample of 374 second-year students from different higher degree training cycles located in educational centres in the province of Barcelona, Spain. The students were administered a computerised questionnaire which included the main explanatory variables taken into consideration. The analysis was based on an ordered econometric logit model. The results obtained indicate that the "expectation of success", as a dimension of the "effective personality" construct, and the "subjective social class" determine the results positively. Furthermore, we can state that there is no relationship among the results measured by the assessments carried out in the areas of education and labour. Thus, in the absence of greater reflection and scientific evidence, the assessment policy of the vocational training system may have to be reconsidered, taking a further step towards a needed integration.

Advanced Vocational Training

The social order posed by the society to the training of highly qualified personnel for the strategic needs of the labor market is associated with the changes in the economy, including the processes of its computerization and digitalization. Transformations in the digital economy determine new requirements for specialists’ training, their competences and qualification. The rapid changes in socio-economic conditions cause the need to transform the system of vocational training in order to meet the demands for competencies that correspond to the current technologic trends and methods of production. The reforms of vocational education system can be significant in resolving contradictions between the quality of training, on the one hand, and public and employers’ demands, on the other hand. Close cooperation of professional educational institutions, employers and social partners through their joint design and development of teaching technologies and methods for advanced vocational training of qualified specialists can be considered as one of the most efficient factors and conditions for resolving the above mentioned contradictions. These new conditions have already been created in the Centers for Advanced Vocational Training (CAVT), which can be characterized as a new type of infrastructural solution to the problem of aggregation of advanced vocational training programs and material and technical resources owned by science, education, production. The article focuses on some features of interaction and cooperation among vocational educational institutions, employers and social partners (social and public-private partnerships, networking cooperation, educational and technological cluster), which are taken into account in the performance of the Center for Advanced Vocational Training of the Kemerovo region.

Advanced Vocational Training

Nowadays, Russian vocational education is overcoming a stage of profound transformations associated with the post-industrial society's peculiarities, which main characteristics are computerization and digitalization of the economy. Transformations in the digital economy determine new requirements for specialists' training, their competencies, and qualification. The rapid changes in socio-economic conditions cause the need to transform the vocational training system to meet the demands for specialists with competencies that correspond to the current technologies and methods of production. The solution to the relevant problems is facilitated by vocational education's devotion to "anticipation/advance" and "interaction" principles, which are being successfully implemented in the activities of advanced vocational training centers opened in Russia in 2019. The advanced vocational training ensures the development of new and promising professions in great demand by the regional economy. Simultaneously, the interaction principle's implementation allows ensuring interdepartmental coordination when performing the social order for vocational education made by the state, society, and individuals. The article considers forms and features of the interaction between educational organizations and partners, including social partnership, networking cooperation, public and private partnership, educational and technological clusters. The paper presents the Kemerovo region center's performance results for advanced vocational training concerning the creation of a regional network for educational organizations and enterprises involved in the joint development and implementation of advanced vocational training programs intended for specialist training.

Aims To determine which resin-based composite (RBC) and dentine-bonding agent (DBA) systems were most widely used by a random convenience sample of dentists in the East of Scotland, by whom they were used, and what influenced the dentists’ choice when buying/using a particular RBC and DBA. Methods A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted from June to December 2006. A questionnaire was compiled and, following a short pilot and revision, 250 questionnaires were randomly distributed to dentists attending vocational training/general professional training study days, continuing education courses and various dental meetings. Data from the completed questionnaires were collated and analysed. Results A total of 138 questionnaires were returned, giving a response rate of 55%, of which 101 (73%) were from practitioners working within the General Dental Services, 20 (14%) from Community Dental Service dentists, and 17 (12%) from practitioners in the hospital dental service. The most popular RBC reported by respondents 43 (31%) was Z100™ (3M UK, Bracknell, UK). The most common factors that influenced respondents’ choice when buying an RBC were ease of use and availability, reported by 51 (37%) and 45 (33%) respondents, respectively. Prime & Bond® (DENTSPLY DeTrey, Konstanz, Germany) was reported as the most popular DBA by 58 (42%) respondents. Overall, availability, reported by 61 (44%) respondents, was the most popular reason for choice of a DBA, followed by ease of use, reported by 52 (38%) respondents, and reliability, reported by 23 (17%) respondents. Conclusions The most popular RBCs and DBAs used by respondents to this study and common reasons for their use were identified. However, it was found that, among those who responded, there was no discernible relationship between undergraduate training, year of qualification and choice of material. Further research is required to corroborate these findings and to identify the level of understanding of material science by dental clinicians.

National Competitiveness

It is widely accepted that the vocational and professional training system has a major impact on national competitiveness. In this paper a number of German-British studies in manufacturing and services are examined in order to show how skill systems have affected the comparative strengths and weaknesses of the two countries’ productivity performances. The studies have been conducted since the end of the 1980s to 2003 and have revealed specific links between vocational training, products and competitiveness on the basis of matched plant comparisons. The comparison between Britain and Germany has been chosen as these countries have very different national VET systems. The findings suggest that higher levels of apprenticeship training in German companies give them an advantage over their British counterparts with respect to flexibility to changes in markets, technology, quality and supply chains. The paper closes with a short discussion.
