text: "Context: The implementation of successful measures to support immigrants'
integration in cultural, social, and economic life can be considered as one of
today's greatest challenges for many societies. This is especially true for adolescent
immigrants who have not yet been able to finish education or gain qualifications
relevant to joining the labour market. That is why many receiving countries have
developed and implemented special programmes that aim at supporting immigrants'
integration by facilitating their employability. Unfortunately, not much is known
about the process of implementing these programmes or about how education systems,
schools, and teachers are dealing with the new situation and target group. In
this contribution, the implementation, development, and challenges of German Vocational
Integration Classes (VIC), as an example of comparable programmes in the EU, are
investigated to address this research gap. The paper considers the following exploratory
research questions: (a) What challenges have been experienced by teachers and
social workers in the implementation of VIC as well as in the integration of immigrants
into the labour market in recent years? (b) How can these challenges be met in
the long run and how should VIC be developed to better achieve its aims? \r\n\r\nMethods:
To answer these questions, a sequential qualitative study containing questionnaire
and interview elements was conducted. First, teachers and social workers involved
in VIC filled in a questionnaire about their experiences and experienced challenges
in implementing VIC (N = 46). Then, supplementing interviews were conducted with
participants from the first sample in order to generate further insights and to
contextualise the findings from the first study part (N = 14). \r\n\r\nFindings:
From the respondents' answers, it appears that the VIC programme is well implemented.
The results show, however, that central challenges continue to exist. This concerns,
for example, legal regulations or the development of adequate curricula, but also
the scope and quality of language education. In addition, problems have also been
identified with regard to students' culture-specific education and their individual
attitudes. These prevailing problems seem to affect schooling and educational
processes. In addition, respondents report feeling left alone to deal with problems
and that their experiences from their daily work in VIC and with immigrants are
not sufficiently taken into account in policy and school-related decisions. \r\n\r\nConclusions:
Although VIC seems well implemented, key challenges remain in the view of the
participants. It was found that teachers cannot solve many of the identified problems
themselves, as they require action at the level of policy or school organisation.
For staff, this can be accompanied by increased stress and demotivation. For the
young immigrants, the existing challenges can have a long-term impact on school
success and transition to vocational education and training. The study thus highlights
the importance of targeted and holistic strategies to support immigrant integration
through education. "

text: One of the most powerful events in the still young 21st century is certainly
the outbreak of the coronavirus and the following COVID-19 pandemic. Massive economic
as well as social distress caused worldwide devastation. In Germany, not only
stores, factories, cultural facilities were closed, but also – for the first time
in history – schools were closed nationwide. Closed working sites and vocational
schools, as well as working sites, which remained open due to their systemic relevance,
led to so far unknown challenges in Germany’s vocational education system. A very
good example are the dual apprenticeships, such as trained retail salesman, which
were only partially affected by closures. The main goal of education policy was
to compensate personal communication and interaction via digital media. This article’s
main aim is to reveal the strategies vocational schools have developed to overcome
the challenges they had to face because of the pandemic.

text: "Purpose: This study aims at investigating how digitalisation (in the sense
of industry 4.0) has changed the work of farmers and how they experience the changes
from more traditional work to digitalised agriculture. It also investigates what
knowledge farmers require on digitalised farms and how they acquire it. Dairy
farming was used as domain of investigation since it, unlike other industries,
has strongly been affected by digitalisation throughout the last years.\r\n\r\nMethod:
Exploratory interviews with 10 livestock farmers working on digitalised dairy
farms were analysed using qualitative content analysis. A deductive and inductive
coding strategy was used. \r\n\r\nFindings: Farming work has changed from more
manual tasks towards symbol manipulation and data processing. Farmers must be
able to use computers and other digital devices to retrieve and analyse sensor
data that allow them to monitor and control the processes on their farm. For this
new kind of work, farmers require elaborated mental models that link traditional
farming knowledge with knowledge about digital systems, including a strong understanding
of production processes underlying their farm. Learning is mostly based on instructions
offered by manufacturers of the new technology as well as informal and non-formal
learning modes. Even younger farmers report that digital technology was not sufficiently
covered in their (vocational) degrees. In general, farmers emphasises the positive
effects of digitalisation both on their working as well as private life. \r\n\r\nConclusions:
Farmers should be aware of the opportunities as well as the potential drawbacks
of the digitalisation of work processes in agriculture. Providers of agricultural
education (like vocational schools or training institutes) need to incorporate
the knowledge and skills required to work in digitalised environments (e.g., data
literacy) in their syllabi. Further studies are required to assess how digitalisation
changes farming practices and what knowledge as well as skills linked to these
developments are required in the future."

text: Digitalisierung ist derzeit ein viel diskutiertes Thema. Mit ihr werden derart
tief grei- fende Veränderungen der Gesellschaft und Arbeitswelt erwartet, dass
sie häufig als digitale Revolution bezeichnet wird. Gleichzeitig wirft die Auseinandersetzung
mit diesen antizipierten Veränderungen viele noch unbeantwortete Fragen auf. Diese
umfassen unter anderem Überlegungen hinsichtlich des Substitutionspotenzials menschlicher
Arbeit durch die Digitalisierung, die Frage nach der Ausgestaltung der Rolle des
Menschen in der Industrie 4.0 und schließlich Erwägungen in Bezug auf die Vorbereitung
und Begleitung von Beschäftigten in der digitalen Transformation. Der vorliegende
Beitrag gibt Aufschluss über die Dimensionen der Digitalisierung und die derzeit
diskutierten Entwicklungslinien; er befasst sich weiterhin mit den sich daraus
ergebenden Herausforderungen und Bedeutungen für die industrielle Arbeit und die
Beschäftigten. Abschließend werden daraus abzuleitende Implikationen für die berufliche
und allgemeine Bildung diskutiert.

text: Digitalization is currently a widely discussed topic. It is expected to bring
such far-reaching changes in society and the working environment that it is often
described as digital revolution. At the same time, dealing with these changes
raises many unresolved questions. These include considerations on the substitution
potential of human labor through digitalization, the question of how the role
of humans in digitalized work may be shaped and, finally, considerations on how
to prepare and support employees in the digital transformation. This article provides
information about the dimensions of digitization and the lines of development
currently under discussion; it also addresses the resulting challenges and effects
on industrial work and employees. Finally, implications for the vocational and
general education are discussed.
