The breakneck speed of change in today's societies creates
enormous challenges for educational institutions at all levels.
This volume explores ways how to manage change in educational
processes and contexts, focusing, in particular, on the concepts of
transition and transformation. How do we educate a skilled
workforce, sensitive professionals and responsive citizens who are
able not only to cope with change but also to adopt required roles
as agents of change? How do we prepare students and employees to
cope adequately with changes and transitions in their careers and
personal lives?
The first of this book's three sections deals with the
conceptual and theoretical aspects of transition, transformational
processes and human development. It defines these concepts and
examines the ways in which educational theory and praxis understand
concepts of change and development. The second section presents
empirical studies that offer differing perspectives on educational
transitions, covering the lifespan from early years education to
lifelong learning. The third part of the volume focuses on issues
of learning and pedagogy and argues that educational practices
should change with the changing world. With numerous concrete
examples included in the analysis, and with studies taking a range
of forms from personal histories to large-scale surveys, this new
book is a major addition to the literature in a field that has key
implications for our future.
