Working and Learning in Times of Uncertainty: Challenges to Adult, Professional and Vocational Education: Challenges to Adult, Professional and Vocational Education

FREELY AVAILABLE ONLINE AS OPEN ACCESS BOOK! This book analyses the challenges of globalisation and uncertainty impacting on working and learning at individual, organisational and societal levels. Each of the contributions addresses two overall questions: How is working and learning affected by uncertainty and globalisation? And, in what ways do individuals, organisations, political actors and education systems respond to these challenges? Part 1 focuses on the micro level of working and learning for understanding the learning processes from an individual point of view by reflecting on learners' needs and situations at work and in school-work transitions. Part 2 addresses the meso level by discussing sector-specific and organisational approaches to working and learning in times of uncertainty. The chapters represent a broad range of branches including public services (police work), the automotive sector and the health sector (elderly care). Finally, Part 3 addresses the macro level of working and learning by analysing how to govern, structure and organise vocational, professional and adult education at the boundaries of work, education and policy making Front Matter....Pages i-viii Introduction....Pages 1-14 Front Matter....Pages 15-15 Configurations of Learning in Global Work....Pages 17-28 Work and Learner Identity....Pages 29-41 Key Predictors of Learning Transfer in Continuing Vocational Training....Pages 43-60 Knowledge Development in Internship....Pages 61-74 Leadership in Times of Globalisation and Uncertainty....Pages 75-86 Front Matter....Pages 87-87 Police Students’ Values of Competence Related to a Professional Career....Pages 89-101 Police Leadership Practice in Times of Uncertainty and Organisational Turmoil....Pages 103-116 Dilemmas in Automation Engineers’ Daily Work and the Changing Form of Learning....Pages 117-130 Employee Resourcing In Elderly Care....Pages 131-143 Recognition of Prior Learning within Elderly Care Work1....Pages 145-156 Front Matter....Pages 157-157 Challenges for Work-Based Learning in Vocational Education and Training in the Nordic Countries....Pages 159-171 Vocational Education and School to Work Transitions in Norway....Pages 173-182 Training for Innovation in Spain....Pages 183-195 Vocational Education and Training from the Perspective of Key Informants of Employer Associations in Spain....Pages 197-208 Governing Vocational Education and Training in Europe....Pages 209-222 Conclusion....Pages 223-232 Back Matter....Pages 233-236 This book analyses the challenges of globalisation and uncertainty impacting on working and learning at individual, organisational and societal levels.
