Description

This authoritative volume is a truly international contribution to the worldwide debate on how best to widen access to lifelong learning.

The first section of the book comprises research studies from around the world, reflecting the diversity of contexts in which widening access is researched and considers issues central to the access debate, including different understandings of the concept of access, organisational and structural change, curriculum development, entry policies, performance and retention and labour market outcomes.

The second section illustrates diverse and innovative methodological approaches that have been employed by researchers in the field, and considers the range of approaches available.

Given the growing concern around the world on the need to combat social exclusion and to improve economic circumstances through access to lifelong learning, this book acts as a unique reference point informing the ongoing debate, exploring the relationships between research, policy and practice.

Reviews

'[This book] has so much to offer its readers in the area of curriculum development ... [it] is essential reading for adult educators, researchers, and for anyone whose interests include adult and higher education.' - Broadcast

'I would recommend the book and suggest it should be read by anyone who has an interest in the field as it captures the 'state of play' in debates about issues and research for widening access.' - Mary Stuart, University of Sussex

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
