Introduction: Intellectual disability causes performance problems in several domains of everyday life. Vocational training and rehabilitation can facilitate the process of employment for individuals with this diagnosis. Technology offers many possibilities in this process. Aim: The aim was to identify digital tools used in the field of vocational rehabilitation and work adaptation applicable for individuals with intellectual disability. Method: Scoping review was used, following the methodological framework of Arksey and O’Malley (2005) with the five steps process. Thematic analysis was used to categorize and present the identified data. Results: Fifteen sources were identified. Findings are presented in the themes of work preparation, generic work-related skills, support during employment and access barriers. They include devices, applications and websites used in intellectual disability or other disabilities with similar impairments. However digital tools were not always accessible due to economic factors, lack of time and knowledge. Conclusions: Different digital tools including software and hardware were used with positive implications. Further research is needed to identify appropriate digital tools to facilitate vocational/employment opportunities for people with ID. Significance: Occupational therapy community, individuals and society may benefit from using this review as a guide to facilitate opportunities for using technology to support employment of individuals with ID.

(in English) This thesis deals with the choice of the Czech secondary vocational schools. Through a description of important theoretical approaches connected to the education and a study of the Czech educational system, the paper is getting to the analysis based on qualitative interviews analysed in compliance with the grounded theory approach. Through these interviews the process of choosing the secondary school and the relationship to the chosen school is described. In this part also the data from OECD PISA 2012 are used to provide an additional context. It is argued that the choice done by the apprentices is significantly limited and that the main source of such limits is social. These conclusions are connected with overall context of the Czech highly differentiated educational system. Keywords (in English) education, qualitative research, apprenticeship training, vocational education, choice of a secondary school, relationship to the school

<p>This study investigated the reasons why FET part-time students enrolled at a FET college by examining their learning orientations. Guided by the literature, the focus was on the vocational orientation to learning and orientations to learning were further investigated within the vocational orientation based on orientations developed for part-time students found in the literature. In addition, it was investigated whether students&rsquo / expectations have been met and if they were satisfied with the college experience. Lastly, the study examined the relevance of college learning to the world of work and the contribution it made to the career development of learners in a globalising world. </p> <p>The research shows that part-time students enrol at FET colleges predominantly for vocational reasons and the majority of the students were enrolled in order to advance their careers and associated with a vocational orientation to learning. However, it emerged that reasons for learning within the vocational orientation to learning are often multi-faceted and complex. The most important findings are 3 new learning orientations for part-time students that were identified: &lsquo / education for a qualification&rsquo / , &lsquo / education for adults who previously made the wrong choice&rsquo / and &lsquo / education for adults as a model for their children&rsquo / . Furthermore, the findings indicate that learners were satisfied with the programme they were enrolled in because they believed that the qualification would enable them to achieve their vocational aims which were primarily to find a new job, to be promoted and to increase their income. The findings suggest that the programme that was examined was relevant to the world of work, promoted employability and that it made a significant and important contribution to students&rsquo / career development in a globalising world.</p>

Considerando que a formação dos profissionais, desse nível de ensino, vem sendo uma preocupação constante dentro dos sistemas educacionais, pois se entende que este é um dos pilares da mudança de qualidade da educação. Tendo como objeto de estudo os resumos das dissertações de mestrado e teses de doutorado identificadas, por meio do banco de teses da Capes, construímos um amplo e aprofundado diretório de pesquisas sobre o tema, na tentativa de compreender o que tem sido estudado por uma gama de pesquisadores, buscando conhecer suas principais preocupações e perspectivas, bem como as lacunas e recomendações que precisam ser observadas no âmbito dos estudos educacionais e das políticas públicas voltadas para a pequena infância. A análise de conteúdo, definida por Bardin (2000), configurou-se como o principal o procedimento metodológico que orientou a presente pesquisa, possibilitando a realização de uma investigação de cunho qualitativo. O referencial teórico utilizado pautou-se nos estudos de autores como André (1986; 1999; 2002), Facci (2004), Brzezinski (1999; 2006), Campos (1999; 2006), Cerisara (2002; 2004), Ferreira (1999; 2002), García (1999), Khishimoto (1998; 1999; 2000; 2003; 2004), Kramer (1994; 1996; 2006), Nascimento (1999; 2001; 2003; 2005), Pimenta (1994), Rocha (1999; 2001), Soares (1989; 1992), entre outros, a fim de localizar e aprofundar as questões trazidas pelos resumos, indo além da simples construção de uma pesquisa descritiva.

Lehrerinnen und Lehrer in der beruflichen Bildung müssen die Erfordernisse der modernen und sich ständig verändernden Produktions- und Dienstleistungsstrukturen und deren Auswirkungen auf die berufliche Bildung kennen. Die Umsetzung des Bologna-Prozesses in Deutschland gab den Anstoß, den Prozess der Modularisierung und den Übergang zu Bachelor-/ Masterstrukturen in der Lehramtsausbildung für das höhere Lehramt an berufsbildenden Schulen im Hinblick auf den sogenannten „doppelten Praxisbezug“ (berufspraktische und schulpraktische Studien) in der ersten Phase der Lehrerbildung (Studium an Universitäten bzw. Hochschulen) und in der zweiten Phase der Lehrerbildung (Vorbereitungsdienst bzw. Referendariat) zu analysieren und mögliche Folgerungen bzw. Konsequenzen für die dritte Phase (Fort- und Weiterbildung) aufzuzeigen. Dazu wurden auf der Grundlage des „Didaktischen Grundverhältnisses“ (Hortsch, 1994) Praxisbereiche definiert, die dann den drei Komponenten beruflicher Handlungskompetenz eines Berufspädagogen (Hortsch, 1997) zugeordnet worden sind. Mittels Inhalts- und Dokumentenanalyse wurden einerseits die schulpraktischen und berufspraktischen Anteile in den auf Bachelor-/ Masterstrukturen umgestellten Lehramtsstudiengängen für das höhere Lehramt an berufsbildenden Schulen und der jeweilige Vorbereitungsdienst und andererseits Angebote im Rahmen von Lehrerfort- bzw. Weiterbildung, die der Ausprägung der produktionsorientierten Komponente der beruflichen Handlungskompetenz dienen, ermittelt. Eine schriftliche Befragung von Lehrerinnen und Lehrern an Beruflichen Schulzentren im Freistaat Sachsen wurde mit dem Ziel durchgeführt, den Grad der Ausprägung der drei Komponenten der beruflichen Handlungskompetenz sowie das Fort- und Weiterbildungsverhalten zu untersuchen. Eine zweite schriftliche Befragung bei Partnern der beruflichen Bildung ermittelte deren Bereitschaft zur Kooperation im Rahmen von Lehrerfort- und Weiterbildung.
