Title: | Linking Cooperative Education and Education for Sustainability: A New Direction for Cooperative Education? | Contributor(s): | Taylor, Subhashni (author) ; Taylor, Neil (author) | Publication Date: | 2003 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/3620 | Abstract: | In this article the authors propose that co-op practitioners and researchers need to constantly re-examine the practice and future of cooperative education. Co-op currently introduces large numbers of graduates into the business and manufacturing employment sectors. A number of authors have argued that co-op graduates rapidly advance in companies and assume middle and senior management roles. These co-op graduates and their non-co-op counterparts become the business and commercial leaders of the future. Here we argue that one beneficial future direction for co-op could be in the area of graduate understanding about education for sustainability (EfS). This paper begins with a description of the principles that underpin concepts for both EfS and cooperative education and examines three propositions as to how cooperative education might act as a vehicle for delivering aspects of EfS. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Asia-Pacific Journal of Cooperative Education, 4(1), p. 1-8 | Publisher: | New Zealand Association for Cooperative Education (NZACE) | Place of Publication: | New Zealand | ISSN: | 1175-2882 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130399 Specialist Studies in Education not elsewhere classified | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 930501 Education and Training Systems Policies and Development | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.apjce.org/volume_4/volume_4_1_1_8.pdf |
