This paper seeks to (1) provide an overview, from a macroanalytical perspective, of the characteristics of unequal educational opportunities within an international perspective, (2) set out problems related to social selectivity, in particular within the vocational educational system in Germany and (3) describe examples of the interaction between selection and vocational learning on the basis of empirical investigations. The intention is to illustrate the fundamental problems associated with social inequality at different levels in the educational field and to extract the correlations between selection and vocational learning.

This final international report summarises the results of the Feasibility Study VET-LSA. The major aim of the study is to find out whether there is a common basis for comparison in selected vocational areas in all participating countries, which is the precondition for a large-scale assessment of vocational education and training (VET-LSA). The study focused on identifying comparable occupational profiles in selected occupational fields and learning outcomes at the end of respective VET programmes. The comparison was focused on selected vocational areas (carmechatronics, electricians craft/industry, business and administration, social and health care) in eight European countries (Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Norway, Slovenia, Sweden, and Switzerland). The report concludes with recommendations to the Steering Group (government representatives of participating countries). The results will provide a basis for both the construction of frameworks in each vocational area and the definition of measurement dimensions for subsequent test development in a possible future VET-LSA.

Determination of a reference value for adequate assessment of teaching situations: development of a technical education expert norm (PCK-T)

The different facets of professional performance of teachers are being debated in the current educational research discussion. Both qualitative and quantitative test constructions exist for vignette-based measurement of competence. For economic reasons, a procedure with closed-ended items is often favored, a reference is required for determining and comparing alternative responses. This paper sketches out the procedure for identifying adequate reactions to responses that we call a technical education expert norm (PCK-T). This expert norm is generated from a multi-step expert survey and, in addition, reveals possible validation steps that can be derived for developing teaching situations. After a content validation (N1 = 8) a multi-step quantitative survey with specialised subject experts at schools and universities, departmental heads at public colleges for education and teacher training, as well as experienced teachers of technology was carried out (N2 = 79; N3 = 76). In order to assess teaching competencies of pre-service teachers using a vignette-based test procedure, the generated technical education expert norm (PCK-T) allows adequate responses to be differentiated from (rather) inadequate responses in the teaching situations.
