Beskrivelse
In Knowledge, Curriculum, and Preparation for Work, the editors offer a timely collection of chapters approaching debates on economic, social change, and employment within different types of economies. Considering questions of knowledge and curriculum, these works interrogate ways of thinking about relationships between different forms of work and education. The focus is both on the curriculum - the ways in which different types of knowledge affect the quality and organization of curricula that are intended to prepare for work - and the factors influencing and constraining what education can do to prepare for work, as well as how these factors shape and limit the role of educational preparation for work. "The book makes an important contribution to the international study of the interface between the sociologies of knowledge and of work, carefully grounded in the very fertile case of South Africa. It is well-written and highly thoughtful and thought-provoking." - Professor Simon McGrath, UNESCO Chair in International Education and Development, Associate Head of School, School of Education, University of Nottingham "This compelling book has much to offer us as we try to make sense of how we design education systems and curricula for vocational education .... These researchers are contributing to cutting edge debates that are both locally and internationally relevant." - Thandi Lewin, Chief Director: Planning for the Post School System, South African Department of Higher Education and Training
