| Summary |
In Knowledge, Curriculum, and Preparation for Work , the editors offer a timely collection of chapters approaching debates on economic and 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 |
