Abstract
In this paper, the discrepancies between the perceptions of the importance of executive functions in Dutch vocational education were examined, with the ultimate goal being to find possible inefficiencies in the country’s educational system regarding the perception of executive functions in nursing in vocational education during a time of teacher shortages. Those possible discrepancies were examined in the nursing field in three schools in the north of the Netherlands. The methodology used to examine those discrepancies is qualitative content analysis on the qualification dossiers issued by the government and interviews and surveys for students and teachers alike. Those different data sources were analysed through various t-tests, Kendall’s tau-b tests, and comparisons of the sum of differences between different subcategories of the importance of executive functions. From those analyses, it became clear that there is a significant difference between the perceptions of the importance of executive functions for teachers, students, and the governing bodies. The strongest and only significant correlation between those groups was on ranks of overall importance between students and teachers. Therefore this paper concludes that there is a significant difference in perceptions and that further research on a more extensive scope is recommended to explicate how this impacts efficiency and where these discrepancies can be changed.
