Opis

A multidisciplinary analysis of learning in contemporary society. In doing so, the work covers all of the key terms in the modern educators' lexicon - lifelong learning, the learning society, learning organizations, the knowledge society. It analyzes both the meaning and the place of these strands that make up modern education and offers an overview of the part they play in the work of all educators (as well as trainers, teachers and course developers). The book pays particular attention to how and why the new learning phenomena have emerged; what the concepts mean; how they function; and what their implications are.
