Social capital, children and young people is about the
relationships and networks - social capital - that children and
young people have in and out of school.Social capital has become of
increasing interest to policy makers but there has been little
evidence of how it operates in practice. In this unique collection,
the social capital of children and young people, and in one case
parents and teachers, is explored in a wide range of formal and
informal settings.The contributors to the book, who include
academic researchers and educational professionals, provide
in-depth accounts of social capital being developed and used by
children and young people. They offer critical reflections on the
significance of social capital and on the experiences of
researching the social capital of sometimes vulnerable people.This
book is essential reading for anyone concerned with how children
and young people get along, get by and get on.

Effective knowing and learning for vocational purposes must take
account of the wide range of variables that impact on knowledge
formation and that promote learning. In light of those many
variables, the formal sector of technical and vocational education
and training (TVET) must constantly ask itself what it could and
should do to better provide vocational learning for those people
likely to pursue learning via the informal sector. This book
addresses that question. Vocational Learning: Innovative Theory and
Practice discusses four theoretical aspects of vocational learning
that support understanding of vocational learning processes and
practices: the situations of vocational learning; the power and
roles of social networks and identity in vocational learning;
knowing and knowledge management processes; and the implications
for pedagogic practices in both informal and formal TVET systems.
The book provides an overview of a series of international examples
of innovative approaches to vocational educational theory and
practice, and it draws on empirical research to analyze the effects
of those approaches. It includes unique insights into aspects of
TVET for Indigenous peoples. With a discussion of policy
implications for Europe, North America and Australia, this book is
an instrumental tool to understand the underlying factors that
generate effective educational and workforce outcomes through
effective formal and informal learning.
