Upper Secondary Vocational Education as an Educational Path into the Security Industry – a Swedish Case
Journal Title: Security Dimensions - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 19
Abstract
Training to become a security guard (pracownik ochrony fizycznej) is now available to young people in Sweden as part of their upper secondary vocational education. This means a training package (TP) by the security industry moving into a school system. The research questions are, firstly how the TP is re-fitted in terms of curriculum, secondly, how the students interact with learning opportunities the TP offers. Focus group interviews and classroom observations were used as a method with two small groups of students. From the students’ perspective, the TP has fused seamlessly with their regular education, enriching each other. Through the TP the students also experienced a syllabus design with a strong alignment between learning goals, activities and an assessment.<br/><br/>
