Reworking Vocational Education : Policies, Practices and Concepts Paperback / softback
Edited by Anja Heikkinen, Katrin Kraus
Part of the Studies in Vocational and Continuing Education series
Paperback / softback
Description
A new political order is transforming the nature of work in advanced industrialised countries.
What does this mean for the nexus of education and work?
How does it affect the idea of vocation, the reality of lifelong learning, the concept of employability, and the future of vocational education and training?
This volume analyses the foundations of this transformation featuring globalisation and individualisation.
It offers an analysis of the shifting terrain of governance and policy and their impact on the field of vocational education.
With contributions from scholars located in Europe as well as in Australia and the USA, it provides an understanding of a number of important educational policy topics, including changing social and cultural conditions of labour, migration, an aging populace and the spread of cross-national discourses.
Additional chapters tackle the concepts of «employability», «gender», «earning» and «lifelong learning» and examine their relation to policies, practices, theory and research in vocational education.
