- PublikationEstablishment of a school-based pathway to Universities of Applied Sciences in Switzerland. Conventions of higher education access in vocational and general education(Seismo, 2019) Esposito, Raffaella Simona; Leemann, Regula Julia; Imdorf, Christian [in: Swiss Journal of Sociology]How did the upper-secondary specialised school (SpS) establish itself as a school-based pathway to the universities of applied sciences in Switzerland? The sociology of conventions serves to analyse how actors justify and assess this type of school. The analysis of interviews and educational policy documents shows that the specialised school has been a recurring target of criticism from advocates of the VET system. It had to make compromises with the world of work to gain recognition as a pathway to the universities of applied sciences.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- PublikationLes réseaux d'entreprises formatrices. Une nouvelle forme d'apprentissage en Suisse(French Centre for Research on Education, Training and Employment, 2016) Leemann, Regula Julia; Da Rin, Sandra; Imdorf, Christian [in: Formation emploi]Training networks are a model of vocational training in the dual VET system in Switzerland. Small and medium-sized enterprises can train apprentices jointly. Drawing on four case studies of training networks in Switzerland and on the theory of the economics of conventions, two questions are treated: What are the motives of Training companies for participation in a training network? Which conflicts and tensions arise from the joint training of apprentices? The results demonstrate the plurality of motifs for participation in a training network, resulting in dissatisfaction of the training companies and ongoing conflicts in the network over the course of the training.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- PublikationCooperative VET in training networks – analysing the free-rider problem in a sociology-of-conventions perspective(European Educational Research Association, 2015) Leemann, Regula Julia; Imdorf, Christian [in: International Journal for Research in Vocational Education and Training]In training networks, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises pool their resources to train apprentices within the framework of the dual VET system, while an intermediary organisation is tasked with managing operations. Over the course of their apprenticeship, the apprentices switch from one training company to another on a (half-) yearly basis. Drawing on a case study of four training networks in Switzerland and the theoretical framework of the sociology of conventions, this paper aims to understand the reasons for the slow dissemination and reluctant adoption of this promising form of organising VET in Switzerland. The results of the study show that the system of moving from one company to another creates a variety of free-rider constellations in the distribution of the collectively generated corporative benefits. This explains why companies are reluctant to participate in this model. For the network to be sustainable, the intermediary organisation has to address discontent arising from free-rider problems while taking into account that the solutions found are always tentative and will often result in new free-rider Problems.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- PublikationHow cantonal education systems in Switzerland promote gender-typical school-to-work transitions(Seismo, 2014) Schoch, Aline; Imdorf, Christian; Sacchi, Stefan; Wohlgemuth, Karin; Cortesi, Sasha [in: Schweizerische Zeitschrift für Soziologie]The paper asks how cantonal education systems in Switzerland promote gender-typed school-to-work transitions and gender segregation at work. Data from the Swiss TREE youth panel study is used to analyse the impact of cantonal pro vision of vocational education and training (VET) on gender-typical educational trajectories. The findings show that education systems with higher VET rates have higher allocations of men in gender-(male-)typical occupational careers. The paper concludes that the pronounced and persistent gender segregation on the Swiss labor market is partly due to a prominent VET system, which urges early gender-typed occupational career decisions.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
