{"product_id":"the-sage-handbook-of-workplace-learning","title":"The SAGE Handbook of Workplace Learning","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Handbook provides a state-of the art overview of the field of workplace learning from a global perspective. The authors are all well-placed theoreticians  researchers  and practitioners in this burgeoning field   which cuts across higher education  vocational education and training  post-compulsory secondary schooling  and lifelong education. The volume provides a broadbased  yet incisive analysis of the range of theory  research  and practical developments in workplace learning  The editors draw together the three essential areas of theory  research and practice  and issues in the field of workplace learning. In addition  final chapters focus on issues  future developments  and directions with recommendations for further development.  Key researchers and writers in the field have approached workplaces as the base of learning about work  that is  work-based learning. There has also been emerging interest in variations of the idea such as learning about  through  and at work. Many of the theoretical discussions have centered on adult learning and some on learners managing their own learning  with emphasis on aspects such as communities of practice and self directed learning.  Early work in the field was often linked to the Vocational Education and Training (VET) traditions with concerns around skills  competencies and on the job learning. The idea that learning and workplaces had more to do with real lifelong and lifewide aspects than the traditional \"training\" regimen has emerged in the last decade. Since the mid 1990s the field has grown as an area of theory  research  and practical work which has not only expanded the interest but has also legitimized the area as a field of study  reflection  and progress.  The SAGE Handbook of Workplace Learning draws together a wide range of views  theoretical dispositions  and assertions and provides a leading-edge presentation by key writers and researchers with insight into the field and its current state. It will be a basic source for researchers and academics interested in the scope and breadth of the workplace learning area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984487018549,"sku":"ByrdShop_1446270521","price":36.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781446270523.jpg?v=1770834904","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-sage-handbook-of-workplace-learning","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
