  1. The German Model-Project for Self-Evaluation Wiebke Petersen (biat/ Universität Flensburg, Germany)

  2. Experiences, Self-Evaluation and Self-Development • Three stages of the process of personal development: • experiences through formal, non-formal and informal learning before the self-evaluation phase • module as an incentive for self-evaluation • further self-development of the personality with respect to occupational competences social competences personal competences („self-competences“)

  3. Self-Evaluation ofexperiences, interests and wishes – the „German module“ • through • experiencing activities with different characteristics/demands based on Holland ´s theory of types of personality • common reflection in groups (possibly with support) • using an independently usable IT-tool with greatly extended possibilities of interactivity • creative thinking out new possible fields of occupation (and even „recreation“ – for the longterm unemployed)

  4. Six types of personality according to HOLLAND´s theory (including combinations)

  5. Holland´ s theory of types of personality • Created in the 1960s • Based on behaviourist personality theory • Six types defined through factor analysis • Since then extensive further development • Application to job finding processes, biographical planning of occupational career • For that development of a typology of job profiles according to the same six dimensions

  6. Matching of types of personality and dimensions of job profiles Characteristics of personality: three main dimensions (first, second, third): e.g. IAS for university professor RCE for car mechanic SCI for teachers Issues for criticism: Conventional understanding of the types e.g. enterprising close to salesmanship social close to education (even mainly of children) realistic close to male handicraft investigative close to academic endeavours (Implicit influence of bourgeois prejudices)

  7. Matching of types of personality and dimensions of job profiles • Dimensions of job profiles In the US the ca. 20 000 job profiles each get a 3 letter type description (drawing on official job descriptions, job advertisements, experts judgements) • Nowadays adapted worldwide (commercially available) • E.g. for Germany EXPLORIX for the ca. 350 middle level „Berufe“ and also the academic professions

  8. Matching of types of personality and dimensions of job profiles • Dimensions of job profiles – Critical issues: Very different types of activities within one occupation are neglected, e.g. for car mechanic: focus on repetitive repair work investigative diagnosis of faults counselling of customers leading work group salesmanship We try to change this fundamentally!

  9. Matching of types of personality and dimensions of job profiles • Basic idea of matching: Individuals with a certain „Holland code“ supposed to be optimally suitable for occupations with the same code • The idea of self-realisation during leisure activities is neglected • The individuals are subject to seemingly objective procedures (although often additional counselling is recommended) We try to change that!

  10. Defining and matching types of personality according to EXPLORIX • Individuals fill in short questionnaires (Ten questions for each dimension) • Two methods of self-investigation What am I able to do? What would I like to do? • Results evaluated online by the EXPLORIX-Company (10 €) • Outcome: Suggestions for job search according to the matching process Instead we offer an approach based on independent self-judging!

  11. The Flensburg-method for searching your „self“ and thinking out a new future • Based on Holland ´s six dimensions (R, I, A, S, E, C) • Experiencing your main features through carrying through real activities oriented to the types • Reflecting on and thinking out new possible occupations but also suitable leisure activities (importance of work-life-balance) • We also give the hint to think about What am I able to do? What would I like to do? People are advised to thinking but also to listening to their emotions.

  12. The Flensburg-method for searching your „self“ and thinking out a new future • Examples for the activities: 2-3 alternatives for each main type of personality Additionally one can be created by the participants themselves Realistic: model railway sewing model ships or steam engines Investigative: comparing and choosing an office chair for people with a bad back investigating a fault in a car researching into the cheapest ingredients for a meal

  13. The Flensburg-method for searching your „self“ and thinking out a new future artistic: building an object for a model railway landscape preparing and decorating a plate with bread roles (Canapés) ??? social: role playing – intervention in a conflict ??? enterprising: organising a political manifestation organising the preparation of a large meal in a team with a limited budget ??? Conventional: Book keeping about expenditures for a household filling in transfers for one´s own bank account ???

  14. The Flensburg-method for searching your „self“ and thinking out a new future • Combinations of Holland codes are obviously built in into the activities • Additional ideas still be analysed according to the Holland code Further possible self-evaluation activities, at the same time options for suitable recreational activities for times of unemployment sports (table tennis, football, etc.) gardening making music (playing in a band) dancing ….

  15. Conventional activity: Calculating expenditure for foodChristina (shop assistant): no hope to experience somethingnewTim (plasterer Meister): is familiar with calculations

  16. Realistic activity: building a model railwayMilan (roma, showman on a fairground, low literacy and numeracy skills): no special interests, but high motivation

  17. Artistic activity: Landscape for the model railwayBarbara (without qualification): likes being creative

  18. Common reflection in groups (possibly with support)Barbara (without qualification): difficulties in oral expressionVladimir (electrician, from Russia): speaks nearly no German

  19. The interactive tool for the Flensburg method In cases where participants have some IT-skills: • To be filled in on a computer • Participants answer questions which relate to the six Holland dimensions according to three levels • Additional interactivity: Not only individual answers but The questions themselves can be adapted to one´s experiences, interests, wishes and desires. This can also be done with a pencil.

  20. The Flensburg-method for searching your „self“ and thinking out a new future • experiencing activities with different characteristics/demands • common reflection in groups (possibly with support) • using an independently usable IT-tool, the interactive tool for the Flensburg method • creative thinking out new possible fields of occupation (and even „recreation“ – for the long term unemployed)
