Product Description

Product Description
Review of the second edition:

"... clearly written, well organised, easy to use, practical and accessible for both new and continuing teachers."
The Lecturer

The third edition of this bestselling text examines the breadth of post-compulsory education (PCE) from Adult and Further Education through to training in private and public industry and commerce. Revised and updated throughout to include recent initiatives and developments in the field, it is the definitive textbook on learning, teaching, resources, course planning and assessment in all areas of PCE.

The authors examine key areas in post-compulsory education through topical discussion, practical exercises, theory, reading, analysis, information, and examples of student work. Popular features of the previous edition such as the chronology of PCE have been retained and fully updated.

New features include:

  • The new framework for teacher training, including the new Lifelong Learning UK professional standards, CPD provision, mentoring and subject coaching
  • The revised 14-19 agenda and the developments involved, including specialised diplomas, functional skills, personalised learning and thinking skills, changes to GCSE and A Levels, work related learning
  • Developments in information and learning technology, particularly electronic teaching and learning resources

4.0 out of 5 stars Compulsory reading for Cert Ed or 730-7, 12 Jan 2000
This review is from: Teaching and Training in Post-compulsory Education (Society for Research into Higher Education) (Paperback)
I found this book an excellent reference source whilst doing my Certificate of Education this year. It is a good starting point for any research that you have to carry out. The bibliography also is very good for research purposes. There is also a section on the development of Post Compulsory Education, although not very detailed, it does list however key events from 1800 to 1999, ie Dearing report, Kennedy report etc. My only quibble is the price of the book...

5.0 out of 5 stars Time saving read., 5 April 2004
By Tony Jelfs (Bridgwater, Somerset United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teaching and Training in Post-Compulsory Education (Paperback)
This is a must read if you are following a PGCE.

Not for the faint hearted or those who are new to the terminology of Life Long Learning.

A difficult theoretic study made easy! Packed full of other references to follow that make the assignments just that bit easier.

3.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive book linked to Cert Ed (Post-compulsory), 22 Feb 2006
By Ms. C. R. Kendrick "charlotte_kendrick" (Bedford, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Teaching and Training in Post-Compulsory Education (Paperback)
I am a teacher of adults with disabilities in a Learndirect setting and though I am not presently doing a Cert Ed (Post-compulsory) I was drawn to this book because it appears, and to be fair mostly is, thoroughly up-to-date, comprehensive and authoritative.

I have found, however, that the book is of fairly limited use unless you are actually on the course. You might think this can't be a criticism, but the book does claim to be of general use for all FE and PCE teachers. To me, it just doesn't seem smoothly written. It can brush over things and overly focuses on activities for the reader which are written for groups on a Cert Ed course. These activities would be wonderful and would constitute the main value of this book, but unfortunately they are not going to work as well if you are reading it alone.

The book covers the usual topics - working in PCE, professional development, student learning, teaching and managing learners, resources for teaching and learning, assessment, exploring the curriculum, course design, development and evaluation. There is a good chapter on developments in post-compulsory education with a chronology of UK PCE and a comparative chronology of the US. The bibliography is excellent. At the end of each chapter FENTO standards are listed.

There is no doubt this is THE manual for those on the Cert Ed (PCE) but this review just serves as a little warning for those teachers not on the course!!

There are better books out there for general interest/professional development (Adults Learning by Jenny Rogers and Teaching Adults by Alan Rogers spring to mind). The former is the best book I have read on adults learning (see my review for that book) and Alan Rogers' book is more in-depth and equally as useful.
