Download or read book From Popular Enlightenment to Lifelong Learning written by Anthony Cooke and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first full-length history of adult education in Scotland, from 1707 to 2005. It explores the distinctively Scottish/Calvinist concepts of popular education, self-help and self-improvement, which have had a prodigious influence worldwide, due in large to the Scottish diaspora.This authoritative book explores the development of the institutions of adult education in Scotland, including Mechanics? Institutes, Mutual Improvement Societies, University Extension, and the Labour College movement. At its core is an analysis of over sixty autobiographies by Scots-born working men and women. They reveal the limitations of schooling for many Scots in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and their reliance on self-education and mutual instruction. They also illustrate many aspects of popular culture, including questions of 'respectability', drink versus temperance and the role of adult education in radical politics.

Book excerpt: As in England and Wales, there is no unified system for provision of adult education in Scotland. The various levels and types of postschool learning opportunity have emerged from a series of ad hoc arrangements and have been conditioned by local factors reflecting the characteristics of various Scottish religious, economic, legal, political, and educational institutions. The earliest attempts to organize adult education in Scotland can be traced to 1709 to the efforts of the Society in Scotland for Propagating Christian Knowledge. It was not until the beginning of the 19th century that the organized and systematic provision of adult education began to emerge. In the later Victorian age technical education began to develop in response to the needs of manufacturers; however, there were still no national schemes for certification of journeymen. The period between the two world wars was marked by an increasing separation between technical and liberal adult education. Since World War II adult education in Scotland has been characterized by a gradual professionalization in many areas of adult educational practice, expansion and increasing heterogeneity of both vocational and nonvocational provision, further rationalization of vocational certification, and improved recognition of occupational qualifications. More recently, there has been a proliferation of experimental distance and modular learning systems. (MN)
Download or read book Adult and Lifelong Education written by Marcella Milana and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adult and Lifelong Education explores why politicians, researchers, and practitioners involved in educating post-school young people and adults have quietly abandoned the term ‘education’ in favour of ‘learning’. Bringing together contributions from experienced as well as younger scholars, and from Europe, North America, and Australasia, it draws on global, national, and local perspectives to reveal key features of adult education’s policy environment. At the book’s heart are three main concerns. First, what is the spatial reach of these developments, and what processes of fluidity and fixity emerge? Second, does increased state and international recognition of civil society’s role in adult education and learning help to voice grass-roots learning needs for individuals and communities? Or does it create new patterns of dependency and ‘domestication’? Finally, given the growing culture of monitoring, and the investment – of money, time and attention – which international organizations, national governments, and research institutes around the world are making in gathering information on people’s skills and knowledge, and how they use them, what is happening when literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving abilities are tested? How is this knowledge used – and abused – in various policy environments, and who benefits? The book is an outcome of the work of the European Society for the Research on the Education of Adults (ESREA) Research Network on Policy Studies in Adult Education’s inaugural conference, held at the University of Nottingham in 2012. This book was originally published as a special issue of Globalisation, Societies and Education.
