Vocational Education in the Fourth Industrial Revolution: Education and Employment in a Post-Work Age

Autor James Avis
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 ian 2021
This book examines the concept of the fourth industrial revolution and its potential impact on vocational education and training. Broadly located in a framework rooted in critical/radical theory, the book argues that the affordance of technologies surrounding the fourth industrial revolution are constrained by their location within a neoliberal, if not capitalist, logic. Thus, the impact of this revolution will be experienced differently across European regions as well as low and middle income economies. In order to break this impasse, this book calls for a politics based on non-reformist reforms, premised on an aspiration towards a socially just society that transcends capitalism.

Recenzii

“The book has many strengths. Above all, though a short book, it is incredibly rich, reflecting Avis’s breadth of scholarship about VET and work. … All in all, this is a book to be highly commended and welcomed. James Avis does important work for the field in problematizing some of the current policy nonsense of a critical VET for 4IR. Beyond this, however, he highlights the huge, indeed, existential questions that face VET whatever 4IR amounts to in substance.” (Simon McGrath, Journal of Vocational Education & Training, Vol. 74 (2), 2022)
