dc.description.abstract | This essay complements the focus on history and historical development of vocational education that is a strong feature of Philipp Gonon’s contributions to the broad field of learning for work. It discusses the development over time of the concept of workplace learning. Whilst the development of this concept has many similarities across countries there are distinct and diverse characteristics, much of these directed by particular societal sentiments. The case made here is that, across most of human history, learning at the site of occupational practice and through engagement in work tasks (i.e., workplace learning) has been, by far, the most commonest and ubiquitous means through which humans have developed the skills required to meet personal, their communities and nations’ social and economic goals. Until the era of modernity, very few occupations were prepared for through educational programs (e.g., medicine, law). For most occupations, local workplaces were the principal and most common circumstance for learning occupational skills and advancing innovations. In schooled societies, however, the practice and privileging of occupational preparation and advancement through educational institutions and experiences has become ubiquitous. Even with the recognition that such experiences alone are insufficient to develop applicable occupational knowledge, and those in workplaces are also required they are held to be subordinate to experiences in educational programs and institutions. The case made here is for the salience and contributions of workplace learning experiences and how are positioned within societal sentiments about the initial preparation and ongoing development of occupational capacities. That positioning needs to be embraced by a broader societal sentiment about occupational learning, rather than education. | |
