Title: Breaking Out of the Circle: Rethinking Our Assumptions About Education and the Economy
Document: PDF
Author(s): S E Berryman
Date Published: 1987
Annotation: This discussion of the research priorities of the National Center on Education and Employment emphasizes that the center is examining the nature and quality of the skills demanded in the economy and the means by which schools and other institutions try to create the human capital that the economy needs.
Abstract: The Center's review of psychological and policy literature found that much policy is based on questionable assumptions. The Center views its audience as educational policymakers and will focus its research on two crucial issues related to human capital: the adaptability of workers and the quality of the labor supply. The Center also aims to develop and test a major restructuring of elementary and secondary education, based on an analysis that questions the common distinctions between work-related learning and general learning. Finally, the Center will challenge the assumption that the nation's educational and training delivery systems differ substantially in their pedagogic strategies. The effort will also focus on forms of thinking and learning that share more of the basic features of successful functioning in work and other activities outside school. Figure.
