<https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10017993> <http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/abstract> "The issue of vocational learning (VL) for older workers (OWs) has become pivotal in\nEuropean regions with an ageing workforce and facing economic changes and pressure\nto innovate. European Union policies recognize the value of formal, non-formal and\ninformal learning to enhance workers’ skills, but report low participation of OWs in\ncontinuing formal VL.\nI contend that EU documents conceptualize learning according to a ‘cognitivist’ view\nand motivation as an individual endeavour, failing to acknowledge OWs’ subjectivities\nand working activities in providing the context for the development of their motives for\nlearning.\nI adopt Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) to direct the attention to the OWs’\nsubjectivities and their personal relationships with their objects of activities (work).\nCHAT allows subjectivities and activities to be brought together in a holistic framework.\nTo illuminate the different ways in which objects influence motivation and learning, I\nintroduce sociological strategies of production as objects of industrial activities and\nidentify two radically different models as mass production and flexible specialization.\nTwo case studies, based on unstructured interviews with OWs and managers in two\nfirms representing both production models, provide elements to analyse the interrelation\nbetween OWs’ activities objects and their personal senses of these.\nMy thesis concludes that:\n(i) OWs’ relation with their work contexts, rather than their personal qualities,\ninfluences their engagement in their working practices and leads to the\ndevelopment of motives for learning;\n(ii) strategies of production influence the intensity and richness of OWs’\nworkplace learning;\n(iii) OWs’ previous and parallel experiences of active roles contribute to the\njudgement of the current work and to engagement in this;\n(iv) EU policies for VL need to take into account how to support the OWs’\nengagement in their jobs."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string> .
