Research and the pedagogics of work and learning
Abstract
This paper argues that workplace learning is a problematic activity that may not result in the celebration of employee empowerment and autonomy that is often claimed but in the reverse: the entrenchment of existing power relations. It argues for an understanding of workplace learning within a broader economic and social context and for researchers and adult educators to acknowledge their historic responsibilities to argue for socially responsible adult education.
