Abstract

Educational and vocational guidance has received increased attention with regard to policymaking in the Nordic countries over the last 15 years. This has led to a growing interest in research-based knowledge. Updating an earlier article, we undertake a systematic literature review of guidance research in the Nordic countries during this 15-year period. Features and themes, both country-specific and in the region as a whole, are revealed through the analysis of a variety of research documents. Therefore, this article provides insight into research-based knowledge grounded in the Nordic context—relevant for both practitioners and policymakers on a national, Nordic, and international level.

Résumé

Recherche nordique sur l’orientation scolaire et professionnelle - une revue systématique de la littérature sur les caractéristiques thématiques entre 2003 et 2016 L’orientation scolaire et professionnelle a fait l’objet d’une attention politique accrue dans les pays nordiques au cours des 15 dernières années. Cela a conduit à un intérêt croissant pour les connaissances fondées sur la recherche. En mettant à jour un article précédent, nous procédons à une revue systématique de la recherche sur l’orientation dans les pays nordiques ces 15 dernières années. Les caractéristiques et les thèmes, propres à chaque pays et à l’ensemble de la région, sont révélés par l’analyse de divers documents de recherche. Par conséquent, cet article fournit des informations sur les connaissances découlant des recherches effectuées en contexte nordique, pertinentes à la fois pour les praticiens et les décideurs au niveau national, nordique et international.

Zusammenfassung

Nordische Forschung zur Bildungs- und Berufsberatung – Ein systematischer Literaturüberblick über thematische Schwerpunkte zwischen 2003 und 2016 Die Bildungs- und Berufsberatung hat in den letzten 15 Jahren in den nordischen Ländern zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen. Dies hat zu einem wachsenden Interesse an forschungsbasiertem Wissen geführt. Wir aktualisieren einen früheren Artikel indem wir eine systematische Literaturrecherche über die Beratungsforschung in den nordischen Ländern während dieses Zeitraums durchführen. Besonderheiten und thematische Schwerpunkte, sowohl länderspezifisch als auch bezogen auf die gesamte Region, werden durch die Analyse einer Vielzahl an Forschungsergebnissen aufgezeigt. Der Artikel liefert einen Einblick in das forschungsbasierte Wissen im nordischen Kontext und ist sowohl für Praktiker als auch für politische Entscheidungsträger auf nationaler, nordischer und internationaler Ebene relevant.
