Philosophical Foundations of Adult Education
Author: John L. EliasPublisher:
ISBN: 9780894649189
Category : Adult education
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This is a comprehensive and critical analysis of the philosophical foundations of adult education. Six major systems of educational thought -- liberal education, progressivism, behaviorism, humanistic education, radicalism, and conceptual analysis -- provide the framework for an examination of the views of prominent adult educators and major programs in adult education. This much-needed work contributes to our understanding of the personalities, issues, and programs in the field of education; it also stimulates readers to clarify their own personal philosophy of education. A bibliographic essay presents the developments in each of the six systems over the past 15 years. Three major areas -- phenomenology, critical theory, and feminist theory -- are discussed within this framework.

Philosophical Issues in the Education of Adults
Author: Kenneth Harold LawsonPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
This collection of essays is intended to demonstrate the way in which traditional adult education values derived from philosophies of individualism also imply a public dimension referred to as mutuality. This is shown to be manifest not only in the liberal idea of citizenship, but also in concepts of knowledge and truth, rationality and in language and communication. It is also argued that adult education cannot be detached from such ideas as moral obligation.
