Download or read book Adult Education in Great Britain Norway and Spain written by Einar M. Skaalvik and published by Fagbokforlaget. This book was released on 2001 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid development and the increased competition in the labor market make continuing education a necessity for an increasing number of people. Equal opportunities for adults to engage in education are therefore important in order to combat exclusion from the labor market. To increase the provision of equality in opportunity for engagement in education we need to understand the psychological processes involved in participation in education. This report presents results from a European Commission Leonardo da Vinci-supported study of adult education in Great Britain, Norway, and Spain. The purpose of the project was, in a comparative perspective, to analyze psychological processes involved in participation and non-participation in adult education. The study focuses on the scale of participation, both in general and in different types of courses: which groups of adults participate the most, motivational aspects of participation, barriers to learning, conceptions of learning, and perceived benefits of adult education.

Download or read book Rita and Gerald written by Philip Stevens and published by Trentham Books Limited. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rita and Gerald traces the history of adult learning in the UK from the mid-19th century to the present. Both a celebration and a defence of adult education, it shows how adult education has adapted to change over 200 years and why the sector is today needed more than ever. Built around the educational stories of 150 students in six premier institutions who are studying programs ranging from entry-level English to post-graduate degrees, the book combines a theoretical perspective with insight into human aspirations. We read how a British soldier moved past the horror of war-torn Bosnia through studying Creative Writing at Ruskin College; how a young woman who has cerebral palsy found a haven for learning at the Mary Ward Centre; how sisters who escaped persecution in Libya came to Camden's Working Men's College to study English and Child Care. It is essential reading for adult students, curriculum planners, policy makers, professional educators, and undergraduate and post-graduate students of history and philosophy of education, and community learning.

Download or read book Adult Education and Community Action written by Tom Lovett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1982, this book discusses the role of adult education in social and community action. In particular it presents a critical assessment of 'community education' and the theories of Illich, Freire and Gramsci and it proves that there is a radical adult education tradition in the USA, Europe and North America which can offer many insights into the contemporary debate about the role of adult learning. The material is based on a decade of practical involvement in community action and education in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, where - despite deep political and religious divisions - community action has united Catholics and Protestants in a common resolve.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide deals with issues that should be considered by individuals involved in the education and training of adults. In particular, this document stresses the importance of processes of curricular design and recognition of a core of skills as a basis for learning. The first section discusses recent developments by the Further Education Unit's Board of Management, the DES PICKUP and REPLAN initiatives, the RESTART programme, and the Adult Training Strategy (a national education and training strategy for adults living in the United Kingdom). The second section, which deals with designing curricula, outlines the aims, processes, and content of provision and emphasizes that this approach is as relevant to the part-time recurrent nature of adult learning as it is to full-time programs. Opportunities and access are discussed next. The fourth section discusses some of the major national-level initiatives that are currently underway to reform and coordinate further education and training. The fifth section is devoted to local initiatives to support and coordinate the provision of adult education and training, with particular emphasis on the areas of negotiation, counseling and guidance, assessment, and the design of flexible modes of delivery.
