英国新工党终身学习政策10年回顾与评述

英国新工党1997年执政之后,终身学习理念成为其教育政策的重要主题。与终身教育理念相关的比较重要的政策包括:技能计划、广泛参与以及教育的公民发展目标。工党执政时期实行的政策多与其执政理念密切相关,同时在终身学习的政策中也有所体现,其终身学习政策扩大了终身学习的规模,更加强调终身学习的重要性,在理念上表现出教育政策的过于官僚化,但从长远角度来看,终身学习的政策在将来能够连续顺利发展。

奇论日本的生涯学习中心

为了推进终生学习事业的发展,自20世纪80年代以来,日本都道府县和市町村等地方自治体相继建立了“生涯学习中心”。它是日本特有的综合性设施,除了与传统的社会教育设施如公民馆、图书馆、博物馆等一样举办讲座、培训人员外,它还向需要学习者提供全地域各种教育、学习机构的学习信息,进行学习咨询,研究、设计课程,评价、认定社会学习的成果,尤其注重于与各种学习机会提供机构的联合、协作,构筑地方居民能够随时随地学习的社会网络。     

Lifelong learning policy in two national contexts

This article describes and discusses the development of lifelong learning policy in two EU member states, Denmark and Portugal. The purpose is to show how different societal and historical contexts shape the development and implementation of lifelong learning policies, even though these policies have significant common elements. As a basis for the discussion an inventory of policy elements is presented. Denmark and Portugal have been chosen as examples of smaller EU member states with different historical, social and cultural characteristics. Developments and policies in the two countries, including the links with EU education policy, are described. The discussion includes comparison drawing on the inventory of policy elements. A main conclusion is that the different historical trajectories of the two countries remain very important for present-day education and for the advancement of lifelong learning policy. Early development of public primary education and popular adult education has provided a strong foundation for lifelong learning policy in Denmark while in Portugal not only institutional provision but also popular demand for lifelong learning has had to be built up relatively recently. EU education policy has had much more impact on lifelong learning policy in Portugal than in Denmark, because Portugal has had to depend much more on economic support from the EU social fund.     

日本终身学习社会的形成及启示

在日本终身学习社会形成的过程中，从中央到地方各政府部门都采取了一系列相应措施。各级各类学校在发挥其本职功能的同时，为满足人们的不同学习需要提供了极大的便利，公民馆、图书馆等社会教育部门也发挥了巨大作用。由此，我们认为，我国也应在完善终身学习相关政策和法规的基础上，调动全社会的力量，支持和促进我国终身学习社会的形成。     

终身学习理念与日本当代社会教育的新发展

构建终身学习体系建设学习型社会

终身学习是社会中个人根据社会发展和个人发展的需要,利用现代学习技术和手段,灵活地选择安排学习时机、时间、空间以及进程的学习制度,从终身教育走向终身学习,标志着教育乃至社会领域发生了深刻变革,是人类文明的一大进步。由此,构建终身学习体系,形成全民参与的学习型社会,是一个国家兴旺发达的保证。     

日本终身教育学视野下的异文化接触

日本终身教育学的教育本质在于具备众多非正式要素的“形成性机能”,终身教育学必须是作为坚决置身于“整个生涯”视野的“教育学”而存在。兴趣、娱乐、休闲等异文化接触行为向来被学校教育价值观视为同“学习”异质的东西,但却是终身教育学重要的研究对象和主题。文章以“旅行”为例阐述了异文化接触中促进非正式学习过程实现的机制问题,对多元文化的共生具有启示意义。     

自学考试是构建终身学习体系的重要平台

自学考试作为一种中国独创的教育形式和考试制度,是所有教育形式中与终身教育及终身学习的理念最为切合的一种。自学考试的本质属性是一种开放教育形式,学习机会与学习内容都具有高度开放性。自学考试＂个人自学＂的基本特点也与终身教育与终身学习的基本主张非常吻合。自学考试能够很好地促进社会助学系统的构建,成为终身教育与终身学习社会助学体系最有力的推动力。自学考试制度完全可以成为我国构建终身学习体系的重要平台,为我国学习型社会的建设发挥应有的作用。

Lifelong learning policies for vulnerable young adults in post-recession Scotland

Abstract

This article shows how the Scottish Government’s (SG) political management of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) has reinforced the economic goals of lifelong learning (LLL) under the skills for work agenda. Youth unemployment has been prioritized as the main social problem to be addressed, and most of the limited public resources for LLL have been targeted towards youth at risk of unemployment at the expense of the rest of the adult population. The article adopts a Cultural Political Economy perspective to examine LLL policy discourses contained in 12 policy documents published by the SG during the period between the Scottish National Party’s arrival in power and the Independence Referendum (2007–2014). The analysis draws attention to the fact that the GFC has been used by the SG to legitimize selective cuts to the further education sector as well as a stronger labour market orientation within LLL provision.

Lifelong learning: Implications for institutions

Lifelong learning poses a large number ofthreats and opportunities for the traditionalhigher education institutions. Not justprogramme offerings and means of delivery willhave to be restructured, but, morefundamentally, universities and colleges willhave to rethink and reshape their businessconcept, that is: their way of creating valueand maintaining their competitive edge overother providers in the education system.It will be argued that a business concept thatis based on the idea of creating value throughenhancing differentiation requires highereducation providers to move as much as they canto a student-centered provision of educationand training. This has far-reachingconsequences for the curriculum, the concept ofresearch, the interaction with students, andthe relationships with other institutions inthe education system. It may very well lead toan education system in which there is room forsome universities to transform themselves intodual-sector institutions, that contain both ahigher education part and a vocational part.     

Lifelong learning through the SkillsFuture movement in Singapore: challenges and prospects

This article examines the promotion of lifelong learning (LLL) in Singapore through a new national initiative known as the SkillsFuture movement. It is argued that the attainment of LLL is confronted with three key challenges, the first being the sociocultural preference for academic rather than vocational education in Singapore. Secondly, there is an absence of a strong local culture that underscores the habits of mind needed for LLL. The final challenge is the dominant ideology of pragmatism that potentially conflicts with the goal of the SkillsFuture movement for individuals to enjoy learning and pursue their passion. The article further recommends a reconceptualisation of the notion of LLL in Singapore by supplementing the skills growth model with the individual development and social learning models. The Singapore example illustrates the difficulties and prospects of advocating LLL due to historical and socialcultural conditions and practices.
