Evident? Quality assurance and evidence in career guidance in Europe: a critical review

Summary/Abstract: Quality Assurance (QA) and Evidence in career guidance are increasingly seen as an essential part of explaining and even legitimising career guidance activities and policies. The impact of career guidance or career education has to be demonstrated. This paper provides a discussion of how and why QA and evidence approaches are featuring on the agenda of many European Countries. A particular focus is the link between quantitatively oriented QA approaches and the effects that this has on guidance policies and practices. Thus, specific QA and evidence approaches are more than measuring techniques and far from being neutral instruments.
