Adult Education as Theory, Practice and ResearchAuthor :
Hardback
Published : Thursday 8 December 2011
Description
The authors argue that the aim of research should be to improve practice through a process of critical reflection. Focusing clearly on the everyday concerns and problems of practitioners, they emphasize the importance of practical knowledge. Their definition of `practice is wide, and includes the generation of theory and the doing of research as well as front-line teaching. They show how notions of `adult learning and `the adult learner have been constituted mainly through theory and research in psychology and sociology, and examine action research as a mode of understanding. They conclude by looking at the curriculum implications for the teaching of adult education as reflective practice.
