Dianne Mulcahy| Subject Overview: | This subject offers a study of the changing world of work and the professions and the evolution of the labour market in the light of the emerging 'knowledge economy', including various conceptualisations of such change and of their educational implications. Particular attention will be given to: contested purposes in learning at and through work; the shift from institutional knowledge to 'working knowledge'; the blurring of traditional boundaries of learning institutions, such as the informal and semi-formal processes of workplace learning; and the ensuing roles and identities of the education professional. |
