Assessing new learning spaces: learning, governance and outcomes

鉴于工作和社会的变化，支持“有风险”的个人学习是一项紧迫的全球挑战。新的学习空间应运而生。他们的目标是30%没有接受传统教育和培训的澳大利亚人。新的学习空间以社会伙伴关系为基础。它们提供了独特的学习关系，以及本地化治理和决策的空间。他们承诺提高个人的生活机会，改善社区建设。这个项目将(1)建立理论来理解新的学习空间；(2)记录他们如何重塑学习关系和实践；(3)评估它们改善学习、治理和成果的说法。

Supporting learning amongst 'at risk' individuals is an urgent global challenge, given changes in work and society. New learning spaces are emerging in response. They target the 30% of Australians not served by traditional education and training. New learning spaces are based in social partnerships. They offer distinctive learning relationships, and scope for localised governance and decision-making. They promise enhanced life chances for individuals and improved community-building. This project will (1) build theory to understand new learning spaces; (2) document how they reshape learning relations and practices; and (3) assess claims that they improve learning, governance and outcomes.
