http://edrev.asu.edu/reviews/rev167.htm

Extractions: Norfolk State University (This review is also available in Spanish.) Learning from Our Lives is to provide "a detailed exploration of the reasons for, a rationale for, using educational biography approaches in adult education" (p. xviii). Adult learners, adult educators, and those in the health professions, in politics, and religious studies can benefit from the experience of writing or reading an educational biography, as it is not just an individual's story but the story of society as well, it gives an insight on how adults learn, what they learn, and what motivates them to learn. Based on this author's work with about one hundred adults who submitted their educational biographies as a requisite for one of the courses taught at the University of Geneva, this book comes out as an essential guide to those who wish to incorporate the life history approach in their field of study or work. The examples he uses, although not abundant, are representative of the diverse group that forms adult learners. The book reinforces what is most stressed by Cyril O. Houle (1988) in

http://www.education.uts.edu.au/courses/subjects/autobio_lifelearn.html

Extractions: Subject co-ordinator: Sue Knights This subject offers the opportunity to explore the relationship between life history and learning and to become familiar with a range of literature about autobiographical approaches to learning through life experience. The focus is on the life histories of participants and, in particular, the influence of life history on our development as learners and as educators. The life history approach highlights the importance of recognising how learning experiences, meanings and identities are socially constructed and reproduced through particular structures and power relations. Students undertaking this subject need to be prepared to share their own autobiographical work with others in a small group and to give feedback and support to other group members working on their own autobiographical writing. How is the subject organised?

http://www.ericdigests.org/2003-4/adult-teaching.html

Extractions: Information Literacy Blog Narrative and Stories in Adult Teaching and Learning. ERIC Digest. by Rossiter, Marsha Narrative and stories in education have been the focus of increasing attention in recent years. The idea of narrative is fertile ground for adult educators who know intuitively the value of stories in teaching and learning. Narrative is deeply appealing and richly satisfying to the human soul, with an allure that transcends cultures, centuries, ideologies, and academic disciplines. In connection with adult education, narrative can be understood as an orientation that carries with it implications for both method and content. This Digest presents a brief overview of a narrative orientation to teaching and learning and then explores how stories and autobiographical writing promote learning. THE NARRATIVE PERSPECTIVE A beginning point for a discussion of narrative and story in adult education is an understanding of narrative as a broad orientation grounded in the premise that narrative is a fundamental structure of human meaning making (Bruner 1986, 2002; Polkinghorne 1988, 1996). The events and actions of one's life are understood and experienced as fitting into narrative episodes or stories. Accordingly, identity formation and development can be understood in terms of narrative structure and process. In this view, "the self is given content, is delineated and embodied, primarily in narrative constructions or stories" (Kerby 1991,p. 1). The narrative metaphor as applied to adult development (e.g., Cohler 1982; Hermans 1997; Rossiter 1999) sees developmental change as experienced through the ongoing construction and reconstruction of the life narrative. As Kenyon and Randall (1997) comment, "To be a person is to have a story. More than that, it is to be a story" (p. 1).
