Jongeren en techniek. Waardering, beeldvorming en studie- en beroepskeuze
No full textTechnology is an increasingly important motor for economic development. In a world characterized by international competition, sufficient numbers of technically educated persons are a necessary condition for technology-intensive economic growth. In the late 1980s policy-makers became aware that decreasing interest in technical studies or technical occupations could diminish future potential for economic growth. Therefore public policy has shifted from focusing only on stimulating technological renewal in companies to promoting the integration of technology in society too. In this paper, we will analyse whether the decisions made by secondary school pupils are based on economic or other motives. Apart from the traditional human-capital variables and personal and social background characteristics, we therefore also link pupils\u27 vocational choices to their value-judgement with respect to technological development and to their views on some labour market aspects of technical occupations. By covering these three elements (choices, values and labour market aspects). we obtain an overview of the societal support among young people for technological renewal. Based on the empirical results given in this paper, we will present some policy implications.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
