The last fifteen years have seen much conceptual and methodological
innovation in research on education and learning across the
lifecourse, bringing both fresh insights and new dilemmas. This
innovation was initially fuelled by the growing influence of
conceptual framings often named as either post-structural or
postmodern. The works of Foucault, Derrida and Lyotard have
variously found their way into the canons of educational research,
and in more recent years, the influence of the work of Deleuze and
Guattari has also grown. This work has proved controversial both in
the challenges it has raised for the purposes and practices of
education and training but also over the assumptions underpinning
such work. As part of and also in response to the influence of
post-structuralism and postmodernism in the social sciences, there
have emerged and developed a further range of conceptual and
methodological framings which are more relational, system and
practice-focussed. Several of these framings work with a non-linear
understanding of causality and embrace unpredictability in the
world and undecidability in our understanding of it. They also
challenge any notion of a strong boundary between the social and
natural sciences. This book explores the most significant four of
these framings, how they are being taken up in research in
education and learning across the lifecourse, as well as their
possibilities and limitations: complexity science cultural
historical activity theory (CHAT) actor-network theory (ANT)
spatiality theories. Illustrated throughout with examples drawn
from educational contexts across the life courses, including
schooling, post-compulsory education and training, educational
policy, workplace and community-based education in North America,
the UK, and Australia this vital guide to understanding fresh ways
of conducting and understanding educational research will prove
essential reading for everyone undertaking educational research in
the modern world.
