Beschreibung

How can vocational secondary schools be trans­form­ed into study-related schools? What impact would this school type have? Taking the vocational Gymnasium in Baden-Würt­tem­berg, Germany, as a significant example, this study ex­amines the transformation of vocational schools empirically grounded and informed. Based on a broad range of doc­umentary records as well as research find­ings, this book links the rise of vocational Gymna­si­um with the long-term development of the German Gym­na­sium. Furthermore, the empirical survey clarifies the relation­ship between instit­ution­al differentiation and students’ educational path­ways, provid­ing particular insight into the current discussion on the German school sys­­tem. Thus, in addition to dealing with the transformation of the vocational Gymna­sium, this book also presents a com­pre­hen­sive account of current views on sec­ond­ary education in Germany.
