本文的主要目的是批判性地回顾在义务教育和义务教育后几年的核心技能领域的政策和实践的发展。研究设计是基于对政策文件的分析，对关键线人的采访和二手数据源的使用。本文还对1979-2006年期间核心技能领域的政策发展进行了历史分析，包括雇主对通用基础技能的需求。这项研究的主要结论是，苏格兰的政策制定者目前正处于通用核心技能概念的十字路口，而这反过来又可能导致在学校和大学课程中“嵌入”技能的政策被放弃。
The primary aim of the paper is to critically review the development of policy and practice in the area of Core Skills within both the compulsory and post- compulsory years of education. The research design is based upon an analysis of policy documents, interviews with key informants and the use of secondary data sources. An historical analysis for the period 1979-2006 is also provided of policy development in the field of Core Skills including the demand for generic foundation skills from employers. The main conclusion of the research is that policy-makers in Scotland are currently at a cross-roads with the very notion of generic Core Skills and that this, in turn, could lead to the abandonment of the policy of ‘embedding’ skills within the school and college curriculum.
