This book critically assesses the learning that is required and
provided within a learning society and gives a detailed
sociological analysis of the emerging role of lifelong learning
with examples from around the globe. Divided into three clear parts
the book:
- looks at the development of the knowledge economy
- provides a critique of lifelong learning and the learning
society
- focuses on the changing nature of research in the learning
society.
The author, well-known and highly respected in this field,
examines how lifelong learning and the learning society have become
social phenomena across the globe. He argues that the driving
forces of globalisation are radically changing lifelong learning
and shows that adult education/learning only gained mainstream
status because of these global changes and as learning became more
work orientated.
