Towards an Economy of Lifelong Learning: Reconceptualising Relations between Learning and Life
British Journal of Educational Studies 46 (3):264 - 277 (1998)
| Abstract | Lifelong learning should embrace more than instrumental purposes. Some late modern social formations threaten individual autonomy, subordinating the needs of 'agent' in a 'locality' to universalising rationality, necessary for growth in a globalized and virtualised economy. These phenomena are discussed and illustrated. Learning, now an 'economic' activity, could bind individuals in heteronymously defined lifeworlds. Prerequisites of an alternative conceptualisation are examined. | |||||||||
