The Vocational Quest (eBook, ePUB)

New Directions in Education and Training

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Relations between schools and the working world are changing all the time and the implementation of ideas of vocationalism has forced a blurring of the time-honored boundaries between educations concerned with concepts and training and those concerned with skills. The challenge now is to define how the schools can give young people the foundations for life in a working world in which they are likely to have to change jobs and where work will fill a smaller proportion of their lives.
"The Vocational Quest" maps the evolution of vocationalism in Britain in historical terms and examines how the particular forms that have come into being in the last few years compare with developments in other parts of the world, including continental Europe, Japan, the United States, Australia and New Zealand. It argues for new forms of communication and partnership between formal education and training and the wider community, in which values will be shared and no one partner will win at the expense of others.
