Avhandlingsbeskrivning 

This thesis explores vocational teachers’ competence through their own and the school principals’ perceptions. It is compiled by three studies, a conceptual method analysis of professional competence concept, a questionnaire study and an interview study. Findings, analysed through Communities of Practice and Ellström´s competence model, show that teaching competence has a high use value due to its relevance with the vocational teachers’ work. However, it has low exchange value as it is not formally required for teachers’ employment. Conversely, occupational competence has high exchange value, as it is required for recruitment.
