Continuing Education in a Late-Modern or Global Society: Towards a Theoretical Framework for Comparative Analysis.
Jarvis, Peter
Comparative Education, v32 n2 p233-44 Jun 1996
Continuing education is exposed to global market forces in that it must relate to changing global workforce structures and demands and is itself a marketable commodity. This allows no simple comparisons between nations or occupations. Preliminary framework for comparative analysis of continuing education encompasses clientele, qualifications, providers, mode of provision, and method of presentation. Contains 30 references.
