VET-teachers can thus be regarded as border workers between school and working life. In Swedish upper secondary vocational education, the VET teachers are responsible for following up, assessing and grading students’ vocational knowledge regardless of whether the education is carried out at a workplace or at school. Assessing and grading students’ knowledge in vocational subjects is the formal assessment assignment of VET teachers. In parallel VET teachers also make informal assessments based on their knowing of the conditions of work and workplaces that vary between different vocations and workplaces. The article highlights how VET teachers border work is manifested in assessment actions in the case of students’ transitions between school and workplaces based on studies of the Swedish upper secondary apprenticeship education.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Nordic Journal of Vocational Education and Training}, author={Berglund, Ingrid}, year={2020}, month={Oct.}, pages={83–98} }
