After graduation, many higher education students will take their first steps into the world of work. Making this transition can be challenging as graduates leave behind the relatively stable and known context for a context that is more dynamic and sometimes even unknown. Consequently, many graduates leave their first job due to feelings of unpreparedness. Graduates leaving their first job has severe consequences for the individual (i.e., psychological distress and financial insecurity), the organization (i.e., costs), and society (i.e., (youth) unemployment). This thesis explores how higher education prepares students for their education-to-work transition and proposes coaching as a valuable and effective pedagogical intervention to facilitate students’ transition to the workplace. Results suggest that coaching in higher education increases students’ employability, necessary for a successful transition. In addition, coaching in higher education teaches students reflective skills, allowing them to continuously develop themselves at the workplace and engage in lifelong learning.

Invitation to Research seminars online
Dear colleagues,
Two of the research seminars of our research group VETYL (Vocational Education & Training/ Yrkeskunnande och Lärande) this spring term 2024 are open to all our network colleagues who might be interested to attend online.
Nedan följer en vidarebefodrad konferensinbjudan, där det femte temat för konferensen “School & work and the role of teachers in Vocational Education and Training” torde vara av särskilt intresse.
The event will take place from May 29th to June 1st, 2024 at the University of Bergamo and is promoted by the CQIIA (Centre for Teaching Quality, Teaching Innovation and Learning) and the Department of Human and Social Sciences.
The conference will be organised in 5 parallel thematic sessions with the following thematic focuses: 1. Teacher education and pedagogical perspective in uncertain times: history, theory, policies and practices; 2. Digital innovation and artificial intelligence (AI): schools, teachers and students between real and virtual world; 3. Inclusion in teaching and learning processes and school improvement; 4. Teaching and learning challenges and professional development; 5. School & work and the role of teachers in Vocational Education and Training.
It is possible to submit a proposal either as an ‘oral presentation’ or as a ‘poster’.

Call for papers
We invite you to submit an abstract for the 10th Nordic Conference on Adult Education and Learning which will be held from the 22nd to the 24th of May 2024 in Reykjavík, Iceland, under the theme:
Shaping Futures, Empowering Lives: Adult Learning at the Heart of Flourishing for Individuals and Societies
This conference is a vibrant meeting point for researchers, policymakers, organizational leaders, and practitioners. Through a series of plenary sessions, paper presentations, roundtable discussions, and informal networking breaks, we will delve into the central role of lifelong learning and adult education to empower citizens to lead fulfilling lives, overcome challenges, and collectively foster resilient societies in the face of global challenges.
As we cast our gaze towards the future, we recognize that learning, humanity’s success strategy, will assume an even more central role in our daily lives. However, we must also acknowledge that adult education and learning have often been relegated to a remedial role, used to ‘fix’ issues rather than being integrated seamlessly into our everyday activities.
This conference is not just a gathering, but an opportunity for introspection and growth. It provides us with a unique opportunity to reflect on the insights gained by researchers and practitioners in the field, refine our methodologies, and chart new paths. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that the individuals and communities we serve are equipped with ample opportunities for lifelong learning. Let’s embrace the power of education and learning to shape our future together.
Venue: University Iceland, School of Education. v/ Stakkahlíð, Reykjavík
Organizers: University Iceland, School of Education.
Guidelines for abstracts: Submit an abstract of a maximum of 400 words, excluding your contact information, no later than 01.03.2024. Please follow the format below. You will be informed regarding acceptance by 15.03.2024
Submissions are entered in the OxfordAbstracts portal. Link coming soon.
Three types of entries: Papers, Symposia, Roundtables
Paper presentation
A paper presents ongoing or completed research. An abstract for the paper presentation should:
Describe the purpose of the research – specify what methodology is used for the research
Report key findings of the study
Infer from the results
Reflect on its relevance for Nordic adult education and learning research
The abstract should not be longer than 400 words.
The organizing committee will group papers into several sessions, each comprising a maximum of three papers, with oral presentations and discussions of papers. The time allotted for each paper will be 30 minutes:
20 minutes for a presentation by the author(s) and 10 minutes for discussion.
Symposia
We invite proposals for symposium sessions. A symposium session presents papers focused on a common theme and is proposed and planned by a symposium organizer. A symposium has a chair (often the organizer) and one or more discussants who have read the papers in advance. Some symposia will overlap more than one session. The symposium organizer will decide how the symposium will be organized and the time to be allotted for each presentation. It is recommended that at least two different countries/national perspectives be represented in the symposium.
The organizer of the symposium should submit a symposium proposal with a plan for the symposium and indicating all the following elements:
The title of the symposium
An abstract outlining the theme for the symposium as a whole (400 words or less)
A Chairperson and a Discussant, who can offer a critique of the symposium, need to be named on the proposal.
Moreover
The paper presentations will be individually entered into the abstract portal by each presenter and linked to the symposium.
The organizer of the symposium is responsible for communicating with the contributors and the conference organizer.
Roundtable discussions
We also welcome proposals for roundtable sessions. A roundtable session is a forum for presenting and discussing developmental work and research plans. Roundtable sessions are intended for focused, small-group discussions of research in progress, practitioner experiences, educational development initiatives, and institutional effectiveness and improvement issues. It is recommended that at least two different countries/national perspectives be represented in the roundtable session.
The organizer of the roundtable session should submit a proposal with a plan for the discussion that includes all the following elements in a single document:
The title of the roundtable
An abstract describing the focus and purpose of the session and ways in which participants will be engaged (400 words or less)
The names of the contributors and titles or short descriptions of their individual presentations (400 words or less in total)
Practical information about the conference
The conference website will be up and running at the beginning of the year
We expect the conference cost to be similar to the last time in 2022
Konferensen Nordyrk äger rum 3-5 juni 2024 i Reykjavik, Island. Inlämningen av abstract är nu öppen och stänger den 31 januari. För mer information se konferensens hemsida: https://nordyrk.hi.is/
Några av deltagarna från Karlstads universitet vid Nordyrk 2023 i Bergen, Norge.
Tack vare finansieringen från Erasmus bjöd Institute of Linguistics, Opole universitet, Polen, in Hamid Asghari till fyra föreläsningar 27 november – 1 december 2023. De som deltog i föreläsningarna var pedagogik-, lärar-, sociologi- och Erasmusstudenter samt universitetslärare/universitetsledningen vid Institute of Linguistics.
Föreläsningarna handlade om svenskt yrkesutbildningssystem, yrkeskunskap, yrkeskunnande och yrkesdidaktik. Med utgångspunkt i Asgharis forskningsmetod som är Life Story och Life Course hade han också föreläsningar där relationen mellan vuxna elevers yrkeskunnande från tiden före yrkesutbildningen och deras val av yrkesutbildning och yrke presenterades. Föreläsningarna handlade också om det sätt på vilket vuxna elevers yrkeskunnande från tiden före yrkesutbildningen kan komma till användning efter deras avslutade yrkesutbildning.
Asghari hade också ett möte med forskare och ledare på University of Opole där de pratade om det fortsatta samarbetet och för möjliga gemensamma konferenser med fokus på lärare, utbildning, undervisning och lärande.
Här kommer en påminnelse om Yrk-seminariet den 5 december, 13:00-15:00. Då presenterar Anneli Wiker från Karlstads universitet sin licentiatavhandling, Skriftligt eller muntligt?: Lärares och elevers erfarenheter av återkoppling i ämnet samhällskunskap i gymnasieskolan. Avhandlingen nås via länken: http://kau.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1288003/FULLTEXT02.pdf
Efter presentationen diskuterar vi gemensamt utifrån ett yrkesutbildningsperspektiv.
Vi har bokat lokal 3D 512a, men det går även bra att ansluta till zoom – kontakta Hamid Asghari för länk.
Karlstads universitet stod 23-24 november värd för den 16:e konferensen om Livsberättelseforskning. Forskare inom sociologi, historia, socialt arbete, pedagogik och pedagogiskt arbete från Sverige och Norge deltog i konferensen och presenterade sin forskning där intervjupersoners berättelser om sina liv samt olika aspekter av det intervjupersonerna har varit med om stod i centrum. Yrkesutbildningsforskarna Hamid Asghari och Anna Öhman var bland dem som anordnade konferensen.
