He explores the socio-economic and policy context of education in advanced capitalist societies, and indicates the manner in which the rhetoric of policy-makers distorts the way in which skill is marshalled in the economy. The result is that oppressive and exploitative features of paid labour are underplayed in this rhetoric. He examines the lived experiences of teachers and students in post-compulsory education and explores their contradictory positions. If questions of social justice are to be addressed, an economically driven model of education should be rejected in favour of one that is politically engaged and utilises an expansive model of practice, extending into the wider society.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49566650335505,"sku":"GOR006776839","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52536486035729,"sku":"NLS9781441166425","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53568272761105,"sku":"GOR014965324","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1441166424.jpg?v=1751985933"},{"product_id":"teaching-in-lifelong-learning-a-guide-to-theory-and-practice-book-james-avis-9780335263325","title":"Teaching in Lifelong Learning: A Guide to Theory and Practice","description":"Addressing the new Professional Standards for Teachers and Trainers the new edition of this bestselling textbook offers a helpful balance of theory and practice, introducing key theories and concepts relating to learning and assessment as well as providing practical advice on teaching.Revised and updated throughout to reflect the current policy environment, it provides thorough and extensive coverage of the topics for higher level awards in Education and Training.

It provides a critique of neo-liberalism and its impact on vocational education and training and lifelong learning. It interrogates potentially progressive policy interventions that take for granted capitalist relations as these can become a form of ‘comfort radicalism’ that whilst calling for structural change remain lodged within capitalism. Such analyses are limited, particularly in austere conditions of worklessness with increasing numbers of workers surplus to the requirements of capital.   Offering detailed discussions within UK, European and global contexts, this book proves an insightful and critical text which illustrates Professor Avis’ extensive experience and knowledge of the field. Adopting a substantive focus on debates and analysis with significance that extends beyond the particular policy context of England, the book offers:          an exploration of arguments that suggest workplace learning carries with it progressive possibilities      an examination of models of class implicit within education policy and documents      consideration of forms of governance and professionalism and their articulation to the pursuit of social justice      an insight into discussions concerned with social justice, knowledge as well as the current conditions of austerity in which education and social policy are emphasised  Social Justice, Transformation and Knowledge is a significant addition to the field. It is an insightful and thought-provoking book from which students, lecturers and researchers with an interest in education studies, education policy, and social justice will greatly benefit from reading.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51190980083985,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51190983131409,"sku":"NIN9781138813137","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52617617932561,"sku":"NLS9781138813137","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1138813133.jpg?v=1750790916"},{"product_id":"vocational-education-in-the-fourth-industrial-revolution-book-james-avis-9783030520311","title":"Vocational Education in the Fourth Industrial Revolution","description":"This book examines the concept of the fourth industrial revolution and its potential impact on vocational education and training.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52435293077777,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52435293634833,"sku":"NLS9783030520311","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783030520311.jpg?v=1759183076"},{"product_id":"vocational-education-in-the-fourth-industrial-revolution-book-james-avis-9783030520342","title":"Vocational Education in the Fourth Industrial Revolution","description":"This book examines the concept of the fourth industrial revolution and its potential impact on vocational education and training.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52472749949201,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52472750735633,"sku":"NLS9783030520342","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783030520342.jpg?v=1759839082"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-james-avis.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
