Präsentation auf 11th International Conference on Higher Education Advances in Valencia

Bei dieser Konferenz handelt es sich um ein etabliertes Forum, in dem sich Forscher und Praktiker zum Austausch von Forschungsergebnissen, Ideen, Erfahrungen und Meinungen in Bezug auf die Vorbereitung von Studierenden, Lehr-/Lernmethoden und die Organisation von Bildungssystemen treffen. In diesem Jahr fand diese Konferenz zum elften Mal statt.

Dr. Sven Wippermann präsentierte, gemeinsam mit Dr. Rita Koris von der University of Economics and Business in Ungarn,  in der Session Employability & Entrepreneurship ein full-paper zum Thema "Critical Reflection as the Key to Employability: Findings from an Exploratory Study".

In an era of rapid technological change and evolving labor market demands, the ability to critically self-reflect is essential for employability. This study investigates the gap between university students’ self-perceived competencies and their actual performance, emphasizing the role of critical self-reflection in fostering employability. Conducted among 37 undergraduate students at two European universities, this exploratory research compares students’ self-assessments with instructor evaluations. Findings reveal that 89% of students inaccurately assessed their competencies, with a majority underestimating their abilities. These discrepancies highlight the challenges students face in self-evaluation and the need for Higher Education teachers to support the development of students’ self-awareness and growth mindset. The findings contribute to the discourse on employability and call for further research into critical self-reflection as a fundamental component of graduate employability.
