Learning & work: the challenges: workplace skills in practice: understanding the new basic skills

Changes in the modern workplace, brought about by technology and management innovations and by increased global competition, raise concerns about the adequacy of workforce skills. In the United States and elsewhere, these concerns have led to new ideas about skills, in particular the need for 'new basic skills' like problem solving, teamwork, and communications. Many employers and policy makers in the US believe that these skills are necessary for work across most jobs, and they support school reforms to teach those skills. This paper presents empirical evidence from a study of skill requirements in technical work which challenges conventional wisdom about new skills.

Changes in the modern workplace, brought about by technology and management innovations and by increased global competition, ...  Show Full Abstract

Learning & work: the challenges: legitimate learning

The growing emphasis on the relationship between learning and work raises the question of what is legitimate learning, which is related to the question of what constitutes legitimate knowledge. This question invites consideration of stances taken in the workplace, school, TAFE, adult education, and higher education on the legitimacy of different kinds of knowledge and of the learning that leads to the acquisition of that knowledge. The stances taken in these communities of practice seem to be characterised by enduring value differences. Thus it is important to relate these stances to each other and to the question of values. In this paper, a beginning is made in examining the bases for the legitimacy that is afforded different constructions of knowledge and learning in an attempt to identify the nature of the challenges facing ideas about learning and work.

The growing emphasis on the relationship between learning and work raises the question of what is legitimate learning, which ...  Show Full Abstract
