Modular Vocational Education and Training in Scotland and the Netherlands: Between Specificity and Coherence.
de Bruijn, E.; Howieson, C.
Comparative Education, v31 n1 p83-99 Mar 1995
Draws on sociological and learning theory perspectives to compare Scottish and Dutch initiatives in the modularization of initial (postcompulsory) vocational education and training. Features of the modular system in both countries seem closely related to strategies chosen to offer customized vocational training for various client groups while not limiting opportunities for progression and transfer (system coherence).
