Working Knowledge in a Globalizing World
Covers issues of vocational education and training (VET) in light of social and economic changes, such as apprenticeship, information technology, structural adjustment, and shifting regional political and economic agendas. Reports on global VET concerns in a dozen countries around the world.
The Magical Properties of Workshop Learning
Pedagogical theory arising from general education has long dominated discourse in both research and policy-making in education: this is also evident in vocational studies. Today, both locally and internationally, the complex processes of vocational pedagogy play a central role in the discussions. Work-based learning, the master-apprenticeship learning tradition, and the pedagogy of vocations and professions are all important concepts in on-going education policy debates. Contradictions between different learning traditions are clearly evident in vocational pedagogy: learning according to the workshop traditions or learning in the classroom, vocational theory and general theory, learning at school and learning in a work situation. This book is based on research in Norway and examines problems of teaching and learning in relation to vocational curricula of upper secondary schooling, apprentices' experiences and masters thesis-writing in the field of vocational pedagogy. The book also explores the question of vocational education and gender, today and in the past.
Reworking Vocational Education
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.
Handbook of Technical and Vocational Education and Training Research
Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) research has become a recognized and well-defined area of interdisciplinary research. This is the first handbook of its kind that specifically concentrates on research and research methods in TVET. The book’s sections focus on particular aspects of the field, starting with a presentation of the genesis of TVET research. They further feature research in relation to policy, planning and practice. Various areas of TVET research are covered, including on the vocational disciplines and on TVET systems. Case studies illustrate different approaches to TVET research, and the final section of the book presents research methods, including interview and observation methods, as well as of experimentation and development. This handbook provides a comprehensive coverage of TVET research in an international context, and, with special focus on research and research methods, it is a cutting-edge resource and reference.
Knowing Work
This book discusses new contradictions in the processes of vocational education. It poses questions on how today's knowledge is to be taught and what should be learned within vocational education. The meanings of work, the characteristics of knowledge and knowing, and the processes of vocational learning and educating are complex in contemporary societies. The vocabularies, discourses, and policies are changing globally. Coexisting and contradictory processes, practices, ideas, and ideals shift, waver, and then take hold. It is difficult to understand how they relate to their societies and to the lives of human beings. The neo-liberal policies governing the relations between capital and labour - the state and the labour market - severely affect both the changing and unchanging features of working and learning. The book approaches vocational education from three perspectives: moral and symbolic orders that are embedded in cultural and social relations, working and knowing at school and at the work place, and the dynamic combination of knowing and working as these are experienced within the ideas and practices of vocational education.
Theorieentwicklung zur beruflichen Schule
Eine Theorie zur beruflichen Schule als stimmiges System von Aussagen, die sich auf empirisch gesichertes Wissen stützen kann bzw. hilft, dieses zu ordnen und auf dieser Basis etwa Voraussagen über die Wirkungsweise politischer Maßnahmen in der beruflichen Schule zu machen, liegt bislang nicht vor. Grundgedanke der hier vorgelegten Analysen ist: Eine in diese Richtung weisende Theorieentwicklung bedürfte zunächst einer kategorialen Basis, die es zulässt, den Objektbereich angemessen zu beschreiben. Die Analysen beziehen sich auf zwei Ebenen, wobei zunächst Systematisierungen zum Objektbereich vorgenommen werden. Die Autorin unterscheidet die Institution des beruflichen Schulwesens (Berechtigungen, Curricula, staatliche Legitimationszusammenhänge) von der Organisation der Einzelschule (Aufbau-, Verwaltungs- und Rechtsorganisation) und skizziert Wechselwirkungen zwischen Institution und Organisation der beruflichen Schule. Grundlegende Kategorien für eine Beschreibung des Objektbereichs der beruflichen Schule werden herausgearbeitet. Auf dieser Basis werden Defizite in der Leistungsfähigkeit von auf den Objektbereich bezogenen Theorieansätzen analysiert.
