UNDERSTANDING EDUCATION AND WORK: Themes and issues

Routledge International Companion to Education
Journal · pp. 683-704
Abstract

This chapter will address how the practices and concerns of the workplace, and, by implication employment, intersect with education. Characteristic of this topic is the breadth and quality of writing accompanied by continued uncertainty and lack of consensus on appropriate theoretical tools and thus interpretations of evidence. I shall pursue some preoccupations which have developed over 20 years of work in this broad area as a practitioner, researcher and evaluator. © 2000 Routledge.
