Policy documents from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and UNESCO have stressed the need to prepare students for what has been termed a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) world. The COVID-19 pandemic is an extreme case of a VUCA event that grants the opportunity to examine whether special and inclusive education is fully prepared for these complex situations.

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Special and Inclusive Education in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) World provides insights and examples from scholars in different disciplines across different regions, contexts, and systems. These ideas will help to shape how special students, teachers, and all the managerial components as a whole, will need to adapt to sustain and maintain inclusion in education in the circumstances of a VUCA world.

In many countries across the Asia Pacific region, people are adapting to the new demographic shift, but there is nonetheless much concern. This book documents the various educational approaches rendered by both public and private sectors to enable elderly individuals in their own countries to re-engage in society more inclusively, to stay longer in the labour market, and to become less dependent on the state or their families. In order to produce active, healthy, and productive aging citizens, the experiments showcased by this book highlight how adaptive action is needed across many policy areas, with emphasis on shaping structural differences in the composition and organisation of higher education systems that can better foster lifelong learning among elderly citizens. The book is a great venue to underline the interplay of the theory and practices of vastly complex challenges.

This book takes readers on a comprehensive journey through ten chapters, seamlessly blending insights from the introductory chapter emphasizing the importance of human resource research with subsequent chapters delving into the complexities of evaluation, program conceptualization, and the integration of Theory of Change and Logic Model. The critical examination of prominent evaluation models, exploration of Participatory Evaluation''s role, and the need for an integrated evaluation model are highlighted. The narrative culminates in a practical illustration of the integrated model, emphasizing its effectiveness, insights gained, and contributions to the field, while acknowledging limitations and offering recommendations for improvement. The book serves as a valuable resource for HR practitioners, evaluators, and organizational leaders, providing practical guidance and contributing substantively to the improvement of HR practices and organizational performance.
