Career Guidance for Pupils on Their “Mission ICH”—About the Vocational Orientation Approach of North-East Germany
摘要
In the federal structure of Germany and the responsibility of its federal states for educational matters there are different approaches of vocational orientation (VO). In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania the concept of “Mission ICH” has been developed and is now to be implemented in schools across the country. “Mission ICH” is a modular, cross-grade pedagogical program for pupils in the lower secondary level, which combines classic elements of a competence analysis with long-term career choice skills development. The concept and the handout for teachers are designed to provide targeted and systematic guidance for the vocational orientation of pupils in grades 7 to 9. More than 140 schools of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania sent teachers to the trainings for the implementation of “Mission ICH” already—aiming to systematically and professionally build up vocational orientation at their schools. In this paper the concept and its development will be described as well as the teacher trainings and some first research aspects of the longitudinal pupils survey.
