Download or read book The Future of Vocational Education and Training in a Changing World written by Matthias Pilz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-04-25 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the globe, vocational education and training is characterised by a number of over-arching trends, including the increasing use of technology, the growing importance of information and communications systems, and changes to national demographics. At the interface between the education and training system and the world of work, VET faces the challenge of tackling these changes, of making a constructive contribution to solving the problems posed by the transition from education to employment, and of ensuring that the next generation has the skills it – and the economy – needs. This volume comprises thirty individual contributions that together add up to a comprehensive overview of the current situation in vocational education and training, its strengths and weaknesses, and its prospects. VET experts from Canada, the USA, India, China, Japan and Korea, as well as from a number of European countries, focus on their national context and how it fits in to the bigger picture. The contributions combine theoretical discussions from various strands of VET research with evidence from country case studies and examples from current practice.

Download or read book Education and Solidarity in the European Union written by Sarah K. St. John and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-19 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of the European Movement’s mission to create—through education—a European spirit in order to secure the success of European integration. This book draws links between the crisis of solidarity experienced by the European Union today and the difficulties faced throughout European integration to develop a fully-fledged EU education policy. It makes the case that education has not been a stable mechanism for fostering spirit due to its national attachment to identity and nation-building. Without education, it has been difficult to foster the spirit needed to establish a strong citizen-wide sense of European solidarity to overcome the crises the EU faces today. Exploring the connection between education and solidarity through the notion of spirit, the book presents an interdisciplinary study that avoids the compartmentalisation of education studies, philosophy and political science to bring ideas together that shed fresh light on contemporary debates currently under the spotlight.

Download or read book How Europe s Economies Learn written by Edward Lorenz and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2006-12-07 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When seeking to bench mark the performance of European economies, commentators often look to compare them to the economies of Japan and the United States.How Europe's Economies Learn shows how this is seriously misleading, and how any such comparison needs to be complemented with an understanding of the fundamental differences between Europe's economies.The contributors provide an up-to-date description and analysis of the way differences in state systems and institutional contexts, such as labour markets, education and training systems, and financial systems, shape learning processes and innovation performance across the member nations of the European Union. In doing so, it draws important conclusion for how policy strategies should be designed at the national and European levels in order to further promote the goals of the Lisbonprocess.

Download or read book Patterns of Lifelong Learning written by John Holford and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2008 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the European Union, lifelong learning has become a means of achieving both competitiveness and social cohesion in an increasingly knowledge-based and globalised economy. Though the concept of lifelong learning is not new, it now coincides with a period of rapid EU expansion. The research project the book is based on examines how lifelong learning is understood and operationalised, especially in countries within the area of the EU's expansion. Europe, its policy-makers and peoples, need to know whether lifelong learning can contribute to the construction of a European identity - and if so, how. The research points to the importance of diverse national contexts, which suggests a single model of lifelong learning across the EU is unlikely to be achieved. While the EU may encourage a common policy, and this may generate significant national policy developments, these will be strongly influenced by national context: institutional, political, social, ideological. Many countries will continue - consciously or unconsciously - to "pick and choose" between different EU priorities.

Download or read book Europe in Motion written by Maurizio Bach and published by edition sigma. This book was released on 2006 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die europäische Integration ist ein zunehmend umstrittenes Thema, weil die Europäische Union nicht nur den Umfang ihrer politischen Kompetenzen ausweitet, sondern zugleich auch die Zahl ihrer Mitglieder vergrößert. Die Erweiterung fordert insbesondere die europäischen Institutionen heraus und bringt substantielle Reformen auf die Tagesordnung, um deren Funktionsfähigkeit zu sichern. Zugleich müssen sich die Institutionen dem Problem stellen, eine Reihe von Gesellschaften mit spezifischen historischen Entwicklungspfaden und besonderen sozialen Rissen zu integrieren. Der Band »Europe in Motion« versammelt fundierte Einblicke in diesen janusköpfigen Vorgang. Zum einen widmen sich die Beiträge den institutionellen Anpassungsprozessen und den gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen, die durch die Erweiterung in Gang gesetzt wurden. Zum anderen nehmen die Autoren die sich verändernde soziale Architektur der EU in den Blick: soziale Konflikte, Solidarität und Identität, Potentiale für institutionelle Regulierung. Der Sammelband plädiert nachdrücklich dafür, daß die Institutionalisierung der EU Rücksicht auf die Spezifika der einzelnen europäischen Gesellschaften nimmt, um institutionelle Fehlanpassungen, Verteilungskonflikte und soziale Spaltungen zu vermeiden.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As lifelong learning grows in popularity, few comprehensive pictures of the phenomenon have emerged. The Routledge International Handbook of Lifelong Learning provides a disciplined and complete overview of lifelong learning internationally. The theoretical structure puts the learner at the centre and the book emanates from there, pointing to the social context beyond the learner. Up-to-the-minute syntheses from many of the leading international experts in the field give vital snapshots of this rapidly evolving subject from wide-ranging perspectives including: learning throughout life sites of lifelong learning modes of learning policies social movements issues in lifelong learning geographical dimensions. This authoritative volume, essential reading for academics in the field of Lifelong Learning, examines the complexities of the subject within a systematic global framework and places it in its socio-historic context.
