Beiträge / Articles. Berufsbildungsforschung in internationalen Organisationen: Spannungsfelder evidenzbasierter Politikberatung [Vocational Education and Training Research in International Organisations: Areas of Tension in Evidence-Based Policy Counselling]

The article analyses the possibilities and limitations of VET-related research by international organisations and compares the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (CEDEFOP) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in this context. Theoretically, the article refers to the concept of evidence-based research and its role in policy design. A catalogue of dimensions is developed for the comparison, which serves for the discussion to what extent and for what purpose evidence is generated that is intended to contribute to political decisions.
