European Research Agenda for Career Guidance and Counselling

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
New perspectives on career counseling and guidance in Europe

Abstract

In a changing world, there is a need to reflect about the research basis of career guidance and counselling (CGC) as a professional practice, considering the contributions of various disciplines and research traditions. This paper outlines a possible European research agenda (ERA) to further enhance the knowledge foundation of the CGC practice. The proposed lines of research, which are pronounced in the ERA, are based on a literature review involving 45 researchers concerned with the CGC practice. At three events, approximately 150 researchers from across Europe were engaged in the discussion, what kind of research is needed to enhance the knowledge foundation of the CGC practice. The paper provides a systematic overview of the relevant research fields, and links key research questions to current research endeavours. Due to the necessary involvement of diverse types of practitioners, policy makers, and researchers from different disciplines to share the CGC practice and contribute to the development of its knowledge basis, the paper calls for open, cooperative and integrative research approaches, including the combination of different research paradigms and methods.

Notes

  1. 1.

    For a clear distinction between academic disciplines and knowledge-based practices, see Jarvis (1997, p. 11).

  2. 2.

    Trans-disciplinary knowledge integrates theoretical knowledge from different disciplines, e.g. biology and psychology, with practical knowledge, e.g. about healing and medical interventions (Defila, Di Giulio, & Scheuermann, 2006).

  3. 3.

    The NICE network (www.nice-network.eu) and the ESVDC (www.esvdc.org) represent more than 100 academics concerned with the academic training of career practitioners and career-related research from more than 30 European countries. The main goal of the ECADOC project (larios.psy.unipd.it/ecadoc/) was to set up joint structures for specialised doctoral training in career guidance and counselling across Europe. The European Commission’s financial support to produce the European Research Agenda does not constitute an endorsement of the contents, which reflect the views only of the authors. The Commission cannot be held responsible for any use, which may be made of the information contained therein. The ESVDC aims to stimulate and promote European and international collaboration in research and development in the fields of life designing, vocational guidance and career counselling. NICE promotes excellence and innovation in academic, research-based training of career practitioners in Europe, e.g. through common European standards and reference points.

  4. 4.

    This method was used by Plant (2003) and (with an particular focus on evidence) by Hooley (2015).

  5. 5.

    Process-related research has already been discussed above (Sect. 3.2). In this section, we only focus on outputs and outcomes of CGC.
