Download or read book Comparative Adult Education Around the Globe written by Kathleen P. King and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rather than defying Western andragogy, this book addresses this popular theory from different international cultural perspectives, showing how it can be understood differently, or even misunderstood, in different social contexts. In fact, andragogy is not the only theory in adult learning. More are looking for alternative theories such as the theory of transformative learning. This book offers an opportunity to reflect on adult education in world communities, to critically examine our own practices and perspectives, and to gain valuable personal and professional insight. Kathleen P. King is a Professor and Director of the Regional Educational Technology Center (RETC) and Program Director of the M.S. in Adult Education and Human Resource Development at Fordham University's Graduate School of Education. Victor C.X. Wang is Assistant Professor at the Department of Professional Studies, University of California, Long Beach.

Download or read book Building Communities written by Ian Falk and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 10 portraits, or case studies, in this book are intended to show how locally-owned adult education turns everyday learning into social and economic well-being. Taken alone, each portrait tries to give a particular insight into the daily transformation of adults and their local communities. Together, the group portrait shows how strongly adult and community education (ACE) is growing the community asset called, social capital. An introduction sketches in the theoretical frameworks used to interpret the portraits; describes the process used to gather the information that forms the portraits; and summarizes the portraits, showing their locations, programs, people, and social and economic well-being they generate. The portraits are: "A Learning Community Builds Social Capital: Ballarat East Community House" (Barry Golding); "Make Connections and Move On: African Women's Project, Maribyrnong Community Centre" (Josephine Balatti); "Partnership with Business Builds Social Capital: Colac ACE and Industry Training Networks" (Josephine Balatti); "Connecting Young Koories to Their Community: Coorong Tongala Course, Robinvale Local Aboriginal Education Consultative Group" (Barry Golding); "Wellbeing of Marginalized Young People: Future Connections, Bendigo (Barry Golding); "Wellbeing of Aboriginal Elders: Aboriginal Oral History Project, Aboriginal Community Elders Services, Brunswick Consultative Group" (Barry Golding); "I Give Back: Bonds, Bridges, and Reciprocity, Cheltenham Neighborhood House" (Ian Falk); "'We Are the Community': Transformations of Identity in the Hawthorn Community Education Project" (Ian Falk); "Connected: Rural Women Build Social Cohesion through Literacy, Cobram Community House" (CRLRA with Barry Golding); and "Leadership in a Rural Region: Gippsland Community Leadership Program, SCOPE Quality, Learning Morwell" (CRLRA with Barry Golding, Josepine Balatti).

Download or read book A Source Book of Royal Commissions and Other Major Governmental Inquiries in Canadian Education 1787 1978 written by Cary F. Goulson and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1981-12-15 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive primary reference to a rich and often neglected storehouse of information on Canada's educational background. As the boundary between full-fledged royal commissions and other official governmental inquiries is not always clear -- and many legislative committee inquiries and special department of education investigations have been as significant in educational development as regular commissions -- Goulson has included all major ministerial-level governmental inquiries in Canadian education between 1787 and 1978. More than 300 inquiries are included, among them general, special interest, judicial, legislative, parliamentary, and other governmental committees. The information provided for each includes the type of commission or committee, its size, chairman, purpose, dates of appointment and reporting, and primary source references, as well as a selection of its major conclusions and/or recommendations. Official governmental records and documents including the Reports themselves, Legislative Journals, House Debates and Hansard, Sessional Papers, Statutes, and Department of Education records were used as the resource base. This volume will be of specific interest to teachers and students of the history of education, and most educators, no matter what their fields, will find it useful.
