Extractions: by Sarah Nixon-Ponder Lindeman's methods of adult education stress the importance of discussion. He believed that the curriculum should focus on the method instead of content. Lindeman wrote that learners should have a set of analytical skills which could be applied to understand a range of different situations, that "education is a method for giving situations a setting, for analyzing complex wholes into manageable, understandable parts" (1926, p. 115). These analytical skills would be developed through discussion groups. He believed that adults need to learn how to learn, that metacognitive skills need to be taught and developed. In 1920, Lindeman wrote about andragogy with Martha Anderson. They stated that andragogy was "the true method of adult learning" (as cited in Brookfield, 1987, p. 127). This was to become one of the most important concepts in the field of adult education. The theory of andragogy was further developed in the 1970s by Malcolm Knowles. Though Lindeman's ideas on curricula for adult education changed, by the 1940s he was becoming rather specific. He stated that the maintenance of a democratic society should be used as the curricular agenda for the discussion groups. In 1944, he stated that adult education should assist adults to learn how to make important choices reflecting issues they are obliged to confront. The connection between social action and adult education is evident in his statement: "All successful adult education groups sooner or later become social action groups" (as cited in Brookfield, 1987, p. 133).

Extractions: coordinated by Linda King What is the current state of affairs internationally with regard to adult education for indigenous peoples? How are different countries and different regions tackling the issues? What are the problems, the programmes and the policies being put into place? And how are indigenous peoples themselves becoming involved in the planning of their own educational futures? To this end the UNESCO Institute for Education initiated in 1999 an international survey on adult education and indigenous peoples. From the outset, the survey was conceived as a participatory venture involving the views and perspectives of indigenous peoples themselves. A network of focal points was established and where possible these were indigenous organizations themselves. Where this was not possible research centres close to indigenous organizations were involved as focal points. The aim of the survey was to provide:

The Foundations Of Adult Education In Canada In their preface the authors comment upon the dearth of Canadian materials in the field of adult education and the absence of any publications that adequately http://cade.athabascau.ca/vol8.2/14_review-thompson.html
Extractions: University of Saskatchewan In their preface the authors comment upon the dearth of Canadian materials in the field of adult education and the absence of any publications that adequately chronicle the history of the field in Canada. This volume is a significant and valuable contribution toward addressing that shortcoming. Although the authors do focus primarily upon recent decades, they have attempted to provide a broader historical perspective. The authors do, however, allow that one weakness of this volume derives from its singular focus upon the field as it has evolved in English-speaking Canada only. Chapter 1 presents basic questions of definition. Although this is a logical point of commencement, there is little in the discussion that is specific to the Canadian context and little that has not been discussed in other publications in the field. Chapter 2 was written by Mark Selman, and it examines the relationship between the philosophical premises we hold as practitioners and their influence upon our day-to-day decision making and practice. This discussion is clearly and concisely presented, but surprisingly it makes no reference to the work of Jerold Apps, who is especially noted for his contributions to this issue. Chapter 2 also provides a brief but lucid discussion of various philosophical orientations, but it omits reference to Elias and Merrian's publication
Publications: Principles And Issues In Education: Chapter 5 adult education. adult education can be divided into general adult education and vocationally oriented adult education. General adult education, in general. http://eng.uvm.dk/publications/1prin/5.htm
Extractions: Adult education can be divided into general adult education and vocationally oriented adult education. The general adult education centres offer qualifying single-subject instruction. They offer those subjects which are completed with an examination after the 9th and 10th forms of the Folkeskole as well as the subjects which form part of the higher preparatory examination (HF). It is possible to sit for examinations in all subjects. It is the aim of these courses to give adults a possibility of improving or supplementing their general knowledge and skills. The State defrays the expenses in connection with the holding of these examinations, whereas the counties pay for the teaching. The educational institutions are free to admit all qualified applicants. The non-residential folk high schools etc. offer teaching, the main aim of which is liberal education for persons over 18 years of age. The offer, which is organised as full-time education for people with a low level of educational attainment, is meant to strengthen the personal development of the participants and to improve their possibilities in the education system as well as in the labour market. Up to 1/3 of the teaching time at the individual course may be spent on qualifying education. The expenditure is financed by the State, the counties and the municipalities. There is free intake to this provision. General adult education also comprises the courses held under the "Act on Folkeoplysning"

Extractions: Denmark is right now introducing a major reform of the vocational education and continuing training system. In May 2000, the Folketing (the Danish Parliament) adopted a number of acts which will tie continuing training and further education programmes together into a single coherent and transparent adult education system. The adult education reform implements a political agreement from 1999 between the Government (the Social Democratic Party and the Social Liberal Party) and a number of other political parties. The agreement was based on a proposal from the Government concerning a reform of the adult education and continuing training activities. This proposal had been drawn up in a co-operation among those ministries which are responsible for adult education in Denmark, i.e. primarily the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Labour.
