Description
Vocational education can either reinforce or challenge dominant ideology: students can learn to accept and fit into a workplace, or to change it.
How we understand the links between knowledge and work will significantly affect our ability to make important political and strategic decisions about education in general and about vocational education in particular. The old questions about education--who controls education? whose interests are served by the education system?--assume new urgency in an era of global restructuring.
The contributors to Rethinking Vocationalism examine these questions from a variety of enlightening perspectives.
An Our Schools/Our Selves book.
