Understanding Work-Based Learning

Autor John Mumford Editat de Simon Roodhouse
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 iun 2024

Observăm că Understanding Work-Based Learning reușește să umple un gol esențial în literatura de specialitate prin mutarea accentului de pe teoria pedagogică pură către mecanismele instituționale deja existente în universități. Spre deosebire de alte lucrări care propun reforme radicale, acest volum demonstrează că infrastructura pentru a oferi angajaților cu normă întreagă oportunități de studiu la același nivel de rigoare cu studenții tradiționali este deja disponibilă, necesitând doar o mai bună activare. Cititorii familiarizați cu The Work-Based Learning Student Handbook de Ruth Helyer vor aprecia aici o analiză mai profundă a validării academice și a rolului mentoratului, completată de o cazuistică extinsă.

Structura volumului reflectă un echilibru între teorie și practică. Prima parte, coordonată de Simon Roodhouse, explorează geneza și legitimarea programelor de studiu bazate pe muncă, oferind un cadru solid pentru administratori și decidenți politici. A doua parte schimbă perspectiva, concentrându-se pe experiența cursantului prin studii de caz detaliate. Acestea includ profiluri profesionale variate, precum un ofițer de poliție care urmează un MBA sau un manager de training dintr-un supermarket care parcurge o diplomă bazată pe muncă. Față de alte scrieri ale lui John Mumford, precum Broke, care se concentrează pe leadershipul în afaceri și crize financiare, lucrarea de față adoptă un ton academic și aplicat, specific curriculumului de educație și abilități de studiu. Remarcăm modul în care autorii integrează procesul de recunoaștere și recompensare a experienței de muncă, transformând activitatea profesională cotidiană într-un activ educațional recunoscut formal.

Despre autor

John Mumford este un autor cu o sferă de interese diversă, abordând atât literatura de business și leadership în contexte de criză, cât și literatura pentru copii. În acest volum, el colaborează cu Simon Roodhouse, un expert recunoscut în integrarea învățării profesionale în mediul academic. Roodhouse a contribuit semnificativ la definirea și teoretizarea învățării prin muncă în universitățile britanice, fiind o voce autoritară în dezbaterile privind angajabilitatea și parteneriatele dintre industrie și educația terțiară. Expertiza lor combinată oferă o perspectivă duală, atât din interiorul sistemului de educație, cât și din mediul economic.

Descriere scurtă

This important book is for anyone who wants to make the most of work-based learning: employees, employers, educationalists, policy makers and researchers. It sheds light on ways of giving full-time employees the chance to take up learning opportunities which are of the same level and rigour as those on offer to the full time student. It approaches the subject from the perspective of the learner, drawing on case studies to provide detailed insight. It suggests that universities already have in place much of the machinery needed to support learners who are in work: they just don't make enough use of it. Look closely and you will find a substantial legacy of this kind of activity by universities. This is a book about seizing opportunities. In one volume, Understanding Work-Based Learning makes a valuable contribution to current employer engagement and learner demand debates, and provides first hand learner experiences to guide existing and potential work based learners, employers, educationalists, policy makers, and researchers.

Recenzii

'An important book for anyone looking to gain valuable insight into the motivation and experience of learners in workplace learning.' - David Wright, Chartered Institute of Educational Assessors '...still an emerging and little understood subject. This is an authoritative account by leaders in the field which will serve as an anchor point for all who wish to understand it better. Besides being an invaluable reference volume for educationalists the book will, I believe, become essential reading for all who embark on a work-based learning programme. The case studies, written by learners, bring into vivid life the benefits as well as the trials and tribulations of work-based learning and bring together the range of such experiences for the first time in print.' - Sir David Melville CBE, Government Thames Gateway Skills Envoy and former Vice-Chancellor, University of Kent 'This book comes at a crucial time as the world of Higher Education faces a period of rapid and unprecedented change. It provides a stimulus for further thought and a reliable guide for practitioners' - John Widdowson.CBE, Principal New College Durham, Chair Mixed Economy Group of Colleges 'This book presents a stimulating combination of theoretical reflection and practical insights into the whole of work-based learning at university level. At the core... is the recognition that university-level work-based learning is not restricted to the confines of a university campus. Barry Sheerman MP's introduction says that this is a book about seizing opportunities. The case studies highlight those who have already seized them and point the way for others who might follow' - Professor D.A.Young National Teaching Fellow, Academic Adviser University of Derby Corporate, University Enterprise Centre 'This insightful book provides a thoughtful and detailed explanation of a wide range of work based learning experiences delivered by Higher Education providers (and) ...The tremendous case studies will be
