The universal dimension of work in the light of selected socio-economic transformations

Summary/Abstract: The work of man is a subject that falls within the interest of various scien- tific disciplines. In this article, it is considered from the perspective of pedagogy, spe- cifically one of the sub-disciplines of labour pedagogy. It is a universal concept, con- stituting an important research problem in this scientific sub-discipline. The purpose of the discussions in this study is to show the relevance of the universal dimension of human labour in light of the socio-economic transformations that are occurring extremely rapidly, especially in recent years. This was done using a literature analysis, mainly of the latest research. Scientific research and theoretical analyses on the topic of labour have not been frequently undertaken by labour pedagogues lately. In analys- ing the literature on this subject, the directions and character of permanent changes in labour were emphasised. Recognising that labour still is and will be a universal value, at least in the foreseeable future, the necessity of adapting education, mainly vocational, to anticipated changes was stressed. Therefore, this remains a current area of research and analysis concerning human labour and education for labour, as well as in the course of labour.
