LLAKES Centre Mid Term Review

项目摘要

The LLAKES Centre conducts research into the role of lifelong learning in promoting economic competitiveness and social cohesion. In particular, it seeks to identify learning policies and practices which help to reconcile different policy objectives and which deliver both social and economic benefits. The current global and national context, characterised by continuing economic turbulence and uncertainty, throws up major economic and social challenges and contradictions. The recessionary effects of public and private debt reduction make it imperative to find new sources of investment and growth. Growing gaps in incomes and barriers to social mobility, exacerbated by the economic crisis, can undermine social cohesion, especially in the United Kingdom where beliefs in individual opportunities and fair rewards have traditionally played such an important part in uniting society. For young people, whose opportunities have been disproportionately affected by the crisis, the situation is particularly critical. Education and training policies can help to mitigate these tensions through the substantial contributions that enhanced skills can make to innovation and productivity and through ensuring equitable access to opportunities for different groups in society. The LLAKES Centre will conduct interdisciplinary and mixed-method research in a number of areas which are at the heart of today's economic and social challenges. Thirteen inter-linked research projects have been developed which are grouped around three broad themes. Theme One, on 'Young People, Intergenerational Mobility and Civic Values', investigates: the changing opportunities available to young people, how these affect their civic values, the new ways they find to 'get on' and get into work, and the effects of student debt on participation in different forms of higher education. Theme Two, on 'Learning, Work and the Economy', explores: the role of skills in innovation and growth, inter-professional learning in the creative industries, employee-driven innovation in the health sector, employee perspectives on skills and job quality, and the factors affecting access to good quality jobs. Theme Three, on 'Education, Inequality and Social Cohesion', investigates: why some countries have more unequal distributions of skills amongst children and adults, the effects of different phases of lifelong learning on civic values and social cohesion in different countries, and how different types of independent school affect public education in their surrounding areas. In addition to its research programme, the Centre aims to build future research capacity in interdisciplinary, mixed-method research applied across the social and economic fields, and to promote and support policy-making which draws on evidence from this kind of research. Over 20 doctoral students and post-doctoral research officers will be attached to the Centre. They will undergo research training through the doctoral programmes in the different partner institutions, as well as benefitting from participation in LLAKES Centre training workshops and public seminars, and through working with senior academics in conducting and writing-up research and developing research bids. External workshops will also be organised for and with policy-makers, practitioners, and others for whom the research has relevance.The research will enable the better design of policies for different phases of education and training so as to: enhance the skills available for innovation and growth in the economy, narrow the gaps in the distribution of skills and opportunities in society, and mitigate the adverse effects on social cohesion of rising inequality and declining social mobility.

LLAKES中心研究终身学习在促进经济竞争力和社会凝聚力方面的作用。特别是，它力求确定有助于协调不同政策目标并提供社会和经济效益的学习政策和做法。当前的全球和国内形势，以持续的经济动荡和不确定性为特征，带来了重大的经济和社会挑战和矛盾。减少公共和私人债务的衰退效应使得必须寻找新的投资和增长来源。经济危机加剧了收入差距的扩大和社会流动性的障碍，这可能会破坏社会凝聚力，特别是在英国，个人机会和公平回报的信念传统上在团结社会方面发挥着重要作用。青年人的机会受到危机的严重影响，他们的情况尤其严峻。教育和培训政策可以通过提高技能对创新和生产力的重大贡献以及通过确保社会不同群体公平获得机会，帮助缓解这些紧张关系。LLAKES中心将在当今经济和社会挑战的核心领域进行跨学科和混合方法的研究。13个相互关联的研究项目已经开发，围绕三个大主题分组。主题一是“青年人、代际流动和公民价值观”，调查：青年人可利用的不断变化的机会，这些机会如何影响他们的公民价值观，他们找到的“获得”和进入工作的新途径，以及学生债务对参与不同形式高等教育的影响。主题二是“学习、工作和经济”，探讨了技能在创新和增长中的作用、创意产业中的跨专业学习、卫生部门中由企业驱动的创新、雇员对技能和工作质量的看法，以及影响获得优质工作的因素。主题三：“教育、不平等和社会凝聚力”，探讨为什么有些国家的儿童和成人之间技能分配更加不平等，不同国家终身学习的不同阶段对公民价值观和社会凝聚力的影响，以及不同类型的独立学校如何影响其周边地区的公共教育。除了其研究方案外，该中心的目标是建立跨学科的未来研究能力，在社会和经济领域进行混合方法的研究，并促进和支持从这种研究中吸取证据的决策。中心将有20多名博士生和博士后研究人员。他们将通过在不同的合作伙伴机构的博士课程进行研究培训，以及受益于LLAKES中心培训讲习班和公共研讨会的参与，并通过与高级学者合作进行和撰写研究和开发研究投标。此外，我们亦会为决策者、从业员及其他与研究有关的人士举办校外工作坊，并与他们一起参与。研究有助我们更妥善地设计教育及培训不同阶段的政策，以便：提高可用于创新和经济增长的技能，缩小社会中技能和机会分配的差距，减轻不平等加剧和社会流动性下降对社会凝聚力的不利影响。
