Abstract

This article describes the process through which human capital theory came to dominate policy in post-compulsory education, to result in the fetishisation of skills. It relates skills policies to the contemporaneous development of policies on lifelong learning. The fetishisation of skills is related to methodological and normative individualism displacing an understanding that capacity and skill arise from and are developed by interdependent action. The current promotion of 21st century skills, genericism and trainability leads to the alienation of skills from the people who embody and exercise them and the social context which enables and gives value to peoples’ exercise of their skills. The article argues that this reification and fetishization of skills degrades education, work and social life.

挑战技能恋物癖

摘要

本文描述了人力资本理论在后义务教育中主导政策的过程,从而导致对技能的迷恋。它将技能政策与同时期制定的终身学习政策联系起来。对技能的迷恋与方法论和规范的个人主义有关,这取代了对能力和技能源于相互依赖的行动并由相互依赖的行动发展的理解。当前对 21 世纪技能、通用性和可培训性的推广导致技能与体现和锻炼技能的人以及使人们能够锻炼技能并赋予其价值的社会环境疏远。文章认为,这种对技能的物化和拜物化会降低教育、工作和社会生活的质量。
