Book Description
Work-related learning can be broadly seen to be concerned with all forms of education and training closely related to the daily work of (new) employees, and is increasingly playing a central role in the lives of individuals, groups or teams and the agenda’s of organizations. However, as this area of study becomes more prominent, debates have opened about the nature of the field, as well as about its configurations and effects. For example, some authors have a broad definition of WRL and define it as learning for work, at work and through work, ranging from formal, through semi-structured to informal learning. Others prefer to use the concept of WRL mainly in connection to informal, incidental learning processes during work, leading to competent workplace learners. Formal and informal learning are distinguished from each other with respect to the level of intention (implicit/non-intentional/incidental versus deliberative/intentional/structured). Another point of discussion originates from the different ‘theoretical backgrounds’ of the authors: the ‘learning theorists’ versus the ‘organizational theorists’. The first group is mainly interested in the question of how learning comes about; the second group is predominantly interested in the search for factors affecting learning.
Continuing Education and Training and the Labour Market
Author: Adelai Hege
Publisher: Berlin : The Centre
ISBN:
Category : Continuing education
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
This synthesis report summarizes a conference organized to examine the current situation regarding the continuing education and training of adults in the European Community and to formulate proposals for action. Some 60 conference participants examined various research reports, conducted discussions, and presented papers on three major topics: continuing education and training strategies, current policies and programs, and innovative approaches to technological and economic change. The conference participants concluded that continuing education and training for adults lacks resources and has unequal access, unequal distribution among enterprises of various sizes, and inadequate training techniques and contents. The conference concluded that the approaches lacked consistency. The following recommendations were made: (1) reforming education and training policies and provisions; (2) formulating a better response to the needs of underprivileged groups; (3) reforming initial education and training systems; (4) using continuing education and training as a local and regional development tool; (5) making industry play its part; (6) developing more rational and more consistent methods of financing; and (7) facilitating the exchange of ideas and experience in the European Community.
