Work + Learning A Knowledge Base of Theory and Practice in Australia

Shayne Baker — Mon, 29 Apr 2024 08:04:07 +0000

Modes of learning and teaching in many countries have undergone dramatic change over the last 25 years. Abandoned are the days of wise teachers serving as ‘agents of learning’ and ‘transmitters of knowledge’ and students as ‘passive and empty receptacles’ waiting patiently to absorb dispensed wisdom. Teachers are now ‘facilitators’ of individualised learning programs and, for well-established reasons, students increasingly self-direct their own study, a lot of which is often experience-based. This shift in learning and teaching has led to initiatives like work-integrated learning, community-based learning, and ‘blended learning; and calls for greater integration of workplace learning into higher education and of higher education into the workplace and the rise of alternate forms of learning in the workplace. Against this general social landscape and educational backdrop, a significant corpus of published literature also suggests an international trend away from a focus on re-enrolment in formal, discipline-based, tertiary education programs toward more broadly applied definitions and applications of knowledge and curricula to include work-based learning.

Why Swimmers Drown

Tue, 15 Feb 2022 00:47:10 +0000

Whilst many contributors to this book are academics the book has been prepared for a wider audience and is not intended as an academic or scientific work. In addition to lifesavers, the target audience includes the ‘general public.’ In order to allow the content to be more widely disseminated and read, the academic practice of referencing citations has not been used (these are available from the individual authors). The content, however, is based on the latest drowning prevention and rescue research and has been editorially reviewed. The appendix Book Authors contains short biographies of contributors showing their levels of expertise and lifesaving experience. If you have a specific query you may contact an individual author directly or The Lifesaving Foundation at: info@lifesavingfoundation.ie and your question will be forwarded to the appropriate author.
