• Sommario/riassunto: In Knowledge, Curriculum, and Preparation for Work , the editors offer a timely collection of chapters approaching debates on economic and social change and employment within different types of economies. ; Considering questions of knowledge and curriculum, these works interrogate ways of thinking about relationships between different forms of work and education. The focus is both on the curriculum – the ways in which different types of knowledge affect the quality and organization of curricula that are intended to prepare for work – and the factors influencing and constraining what education can do to prepare for work, as well as how these factors shape and limit the role of educational preparation for work.
