Raktažodžiai:
Access education has been through many changes since its beginnings in the late 1960s. Recent shifts in the academic landscape including standardization, grading, and new tensions in higher education raise difficult questions for educators regarding the future of access education.
This book critically examines various aspects of Access education from a historical perspective. It proposes that there are particular 'Access' values that are shared by practitioners that can be at odds with the needs of higher education. Wider questions concerning funding and accountability underpinned by neoliberalism have also had an impact on Access education. The authors, practitioners and researchers of Access education, gather their insights in this timely book, grounded in authentic experience. They explore the ways in which policies and procedures have been developed in light of these tensions. By drawing particular attention to the voices of Access practitioners and highlighting the current constraints around curriculum design this book will prove invaluable for leaders, administrators, researchers and practitioners in further and higher education.


This book brings together researchers and practitioners to critically reflect upon the current diversity of Access to Higher Education programmes and their different perspectives on widening participation and access education.

This book highlights the significance of Access to Higher Education courses as the non-traditional route into higher education. The authors provide us with a unique insight into the relationship between access students and their tutors, and the distinctive nature of this type of provision, whilst championing the importance of widening participation, inclusion and lifelong learning. -- Dr Iona Burnell, University of East London, UK Broadhead, Davies, and Hudson describe courses designed for those students who do not have the typical qualifications to enter higher education. Compulsory schooling, for many social, cultural, and practical reasons, does not facilitate academic success for a number of people, they say, so another means of learning is needed to provide such people with an opportunity to achieve their personal, educational goals. They cover access to higher education: from margin to mainstream, access to higher education: monitoring and standardization, learning on a bespoke access program, the trust between access to higher education students and their tutors: a practitioner research project, and accessing postgraduate education. -- Annotation ©2019 * (protoview.com) *
