Abstract

Vocational Education and Training (VET) programmes have included the acquisition of transversal competences in their curricula as a tool to increase employability. The number of researches has exponentially grown in the last years, emphasizing its relevance and the multiple approaches and factors involved in the learning process. The present bibliometric study aims to provide an overview of the scientific research carried out during the last 10 years and to shed some light on several relevant topics in this field. The results indicate the need to improve students' transversal competences in order to meet the demands of the labour market, the importance of the collaboration of all the actors involved in the process (policy makers, industry and educators) and from a pedagogical point of view, the necessity of introducing new teaching approaches to implement and assess the acquisition of transversal competences. However, and despite the surge of interest in the study of transversal competences in the last decade, further empirical research is needed, especially at Vocational Education and Training level, to understand how transversal competences develop and what kind of initiatives have an impact of their acquisition.

职业教育与培训中横向能力的相关性:文献计量学分析。
职业教育和培训方案将获得横向能力作为提高就业能力的工具纳入其课程。在过去的几年里,研究的数量呈指数级增长,强调了其相关性以及学习过程中涉及的多种方法和因素。本文献计量学研究旨在对近十年来的科学研究进行概述,并对该领域的几个相关主题进行阐述。结果表明,有必要提高学生的横向能力,以满足劳动力市场的需求,参与这一过程的所有行动者(政策制定者、行业和教育工作者)合作的重要性,从教学的角度来看,有必要引入新的教学方法来实施和评估横向能力的获得。然而,尽管在过去十年中对横向能力的研究兴趣激增,但需要进一步的实证研究,特别是在职业教育和培训层面,以了解横向能力是如何发展的,以及什么样的主动性对其获得有影响。

期刊介绍: The main focus of this journal is to provide a platform for original empirical investigations in the field of professional, vocational and technical education, comparing the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of different vocational education systems at the school, company and systemic level. The journal fills a gap in the existing literature focusing on empirically-oriented academic research and stimulating the interest in strengthening the vocational part of the educational system, both at the basic and higher education level.
