Spatial mobility and the perception of career development for social sciences and humanities doctoral candidates

ABSTRACT The spatial mobility of students and academics as part of the internationalisation of higher education is becoming increasingly relevant in securing top-tier positions, especially within academia. While the number of doctoral candidates is rising, new positions are not created at the same rate, leading to scarcer career opportunities in academia and the need to develop alternative career paths. Previous studies have much focused on the connection between mobility and career development among junior academics in the STEM fields, but the significance of mobility for SSH PhD candidates and their career development remains unanswered. Does spatial mobility have any effects there, and if so, which? For this reason, this paper studied doctoral SSH candidates from Germany with mobility experiences in the Netherlands. The findings show that spatial mobility affects the perception of the PhD candidate's career in several, sometimes ambivalent ways. It shows that the experience of mobility narrows the planning to a career in academia, contributes to the informal learning process of the candidate, and expands the horizon for possible opportunities in academia. The perceived asset of mobility varies alongside the internationalisation of disciplines and whether the candidate plans to return to Germany or pursue an international career.

Second-Stage Music Teachers’ Perceptions of Career Development and Trajectory

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the career development of three music teachers who are in the second stage of their teaching careers. Using research on both the teacher career cycle and the second stage of teaching, the participants were identified as second-stage teachers. The study employed a qualitative methodology that used a descriptive case study design (Merriam, 1998). The primary research questions were (a) how do participants perceive their career development from the first into the second stage, and (b) how do they anticipate their career trajectory through and beyond the second stage? Findings indicated that the participants perceived a transition from a first to a second stage, had different degrees and areas of self-confidence, were uncertain about their futures in music education, and were concerned about experiencing withdrawal from teaching. This study has implications for professional development, induction, and the retention and attrition of music teachers. Suggestions for further research are also included.
