Formation Of Adult Learning Systems In Central Europe

de Jan Kalenda

~~171,59€~~ 154,43€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book explores the formation and development of the cross-national patterns of adult learning systems between 1989 and 2019 in four Central European countries: the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland. Drawing on the approach of the political economy of adult education and historical institutionalism, the book closely examines (1) how the institutional settings in these countries have formed, evolved and contributed to overall participation in adult education and training, (2) how they have shaped patterns of participation and unequal chances to be involved in this social activity, as well as (3) perceived barriers to access organized learning and related governmental policies.This book offers a contemporary overview of key findings regarding adult learning systems. It delves into the factors that influence participation in adult education and training. Through the utilization of the novel framework, GALS (Global Adult Learning Space), the book not only highlights a crucial distinction among adult learning systems within the region but also presents in-depth case studies of these systems in Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia spanning a 30-year period. Despite these countries sharing similar institutional backgrounds and societal challenges, the book reveals that their adult learning systems have undergone divergent trajectories over the past three decades. This book will be useful to researchers and scholars in the fields of adult education, comparative education, welfare policy, sociology of education, and European studies.

Adult English Language Teaching - Transformation Through Lifelong Learning

171,59€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book explores cross-international experiences in the field of adult English language teaching and learning, using cross-cultural dialogues to hear voices from different countries and different settings - formal, informal and non-formal - discussing how their lifelong learning has or is still in the process of helping them to change their lives. The book addresses two major questions: (1) How do adults learn languages and transform themselves through learning? (2) How do authorities and societies build capacity for sustainable language development? It will be of interest to researchers, policymakers and adult language teachers, concerned with diverse aspects of teaching and learning English as lingua franca for enhancing the public good internationally.The book draws on the way in which the Western paradigm of lifelong learning was applied by an international team of inspired professionals to English language education in the Tempus project "Lifelong Language Learning University Centre Network for New Career Opportunities and Personal Development (UNICO)". This project was undertaken by eleven universities in three countries: the Siberian Federal District of the Russian Federation, the Kyrgyz Republic, and the Republic of Tajikistan, in partnership with the Charles University in Prague, the Institute of Education from the University College London, and the University of Córdoba in Spain.

Taiwan'S Senior Learning Movement - Perspectives From Outside In And From Inside Out

158,34€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This volume provides an in-depth analysis of historical and recent developments of senior learning in Taiwan, where publications in English have been scant. It takes a broader view on lifelong learning and active ageing from a theoretical/conceptual base written by prominent international authors- this represents the ‘outside in’ perspective. The ‘inside out’ on the other hand signifies an in-depth investigation of initiatives written by authors from Taiwan who are closely involved with developments in policy and practice.The volume is situated theoretically in the intersection of complementary concepts such as lifelong learning, active ageing, later life learning, learning communities and social movements. It is located geographically and culturally in East Asia where senior learning/education is expanding in response to large populations of older adults and concerns about their physical and social well-being. It is argued that Taiwan is leading the way in terms of innovation and community engagement in regard to older adult learning/education and can thus serve as a model for neighboring countries. By analyzing historical precedents, cultural dynamics, policy trends, research sub-fields and community engagement this book is of interest to both East Asian and Western scholars, practitioners, policy-makers and students amongst the fields of lifelong learning, social gerontology and educational psychology.

Pedagogies For Future-Oriented Adult Learners - Flipping The Lens From Teaching To Learning

145,09€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book presents a collection of chapters—both empirical and conceptual—that challenge existing paradigms of learning and teaching, provides examples of pedagogical spaces and practices that nurture future-oriented learners, explicates identities and transitions in learning, and offers alternative frames for moving forward.Educational structures have proven remarkably resilient. More often than not, pedagogical designs still privilege the lecture-tutorial format, front-end loading and the positioning of the ‘teacher’ as expert. In a similar vein, pedagogical spaces tend to privilege the formal educational institution and its discourses, rather than productively engage with naturally-occurring learning spaces at work and in communities. To better prepare and support learners for dynamically changing futures, we need to truly flip the lens from teaching to learning, positioning at the core, the learner in contexts where learning and becoming occurs. This means considering what counts as a future-oriented learner and educator, recognising the importance of evolving identities, transitions and pathways that facilitates the processes of being and becoming. Equally important is the design and appropriation of pedagogical spaces and practices that are in themselves dynamic and future-oriented. This book questions the current delineation between the spaces of work, learning and communities.

Inequality, Innovation And Reform In Higher Education - Challenges Of Migration And Ageing Populations

118,59€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 An important backdrop to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals involves consideration of the impact of a ‘new demographics’ derived from the interaction of two global developments. First, high levels of internal and cross-border mass migration, stimulated by climate change, violence and disparities in wealth and social stability within and between different countries and the global South and North. Second, the phenomenon of increasing longevity and rapidly ageing populations, especially in the developed world. This book explores the central role that socially engaged higher education might potentially play in helping address these challenges, enhancing lifelong learning opportunities and facilitating more positive outcomes for both individuals and societies. The contributors to this book are scholars of higher education and lifelong learning based in twelve countries from Europe (Germany, Ireland, Slovenia, Sweden and the United Kingdom),the Americas (Brazil, Canada, Mexico and the USA), Japan, Australia and New Zealand. "This is an extremely timely and important collection focusing on growing migrationand an increase in ageing populations, two major social trends that researchers in highereducation often overlook. The multi-level analysis of the role that higher education canplay, together with the contributions from 12 countries in the North and South makethis one of the most outstanding collections on these themes." Rajani Naidoo, Director, International Centre for HE Management, University of Bath. "Auguste Comte famously observed that demography is destiny. This superb volumeexamines the powerful impact of two global demographic trends, and the vital roleuniversities can play in responding to them. The book describes a range of innovativeand pragmatic responses, while deepening our understanding of why serving thesepopulations it so important for the health of our communities and our democracies."Matthew Hartley, Professor and Associate Dean, GSE, University of Pennsylvania. "The powerful synergy of the longevity revolution and the technology revolutionnecessitates a corresponding education revolution. It is clear that the educationalassets acquired in youth and early adulthood no longer provide sufficient currencyfor longer, big change impacted lives. This timely book examines the benefits of creatingan inclusive, rights-based culture of learning at every stage of life." Alexandre Kalache, Co-President, International Longevity Centre (ILC) Global Alliance and ILC Brazil. "How can we understand the current dynamics of migrations and demographic trendsto adapt HE access policies accordingly? By bringing together empirical research indifferent countries, this book offers an essential insight on this very sensitive issuefor both individuals and their societies. A must read for researchers and policy makers."Gaële Goastellec, Professor of Sociology, University of Lausanne, Chair of the Consortium of Higher Education Researchers. "The contributions cover an admirably wide range of countries, shedding different lights on these common themes. The book sets a challenging and informed agenda which policy-makers and institutional leaders would do well to take seriously."Tom Schuller, Formerly Head of the Centre for Educational Research and Innovation, OECD.
