In today's modern climate, education and learning take place in
multiple and diverse spaces. Increasingly, these spaces are both
physical and virtual in nature. Access to and use of information
and communication technologies, and the emergence of
knowledge-based economies necessitate an understanding of the
plurality of spaces (such as homes, workplaces, international space
and cyberspace) in which learning can take place. The spaces of
policy making with respect to education are also being transformed,
away from traditional centres of policy formation towards the
incorporation of a wider range of actors and sites. These changes
coincide with a more general interest in space and spatial theory
across the social sciences, where notions of simultaneity and
diversity replace more modernist conceptions of linear progress and
development through time. This volume proffers a unique perspective
on the transformation of education in the 21st century, by bringing
together leading researchers in education, sociology and geography
to address directly questions of space in relation to education and
learning. This collection of essays: examines the changing and
diverse spaces and concepts of education (occurring simultaneously
at different scales and in different parts of the world) explores
where education and learning take place discusses how spaces of
education vary at different stages (compulsory schooling, tertiary
and higher education, adult education and workplace learning)
inspects the ways in which the meanings attached to education and
learning change in different national and regional contexts.
Changing Spaces of Education is an important and timely
contribution to a growing area of concern within the social
sciences and amongst practitioners and policy-makers, reflecting an
urgent need to understand the ways in which both education and
learning are being reconfigured, not just nationally, but also
internationally and transnationally. It is essential reading for
final-year undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in
geography, sociology, education and policy studies, with an aim,
too, of informing policy and practice in this area.
