Post-Education Society : Recognising Adults as Learners Hardback
by Norman Evans
Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Adult Education series
Hardback
Description
Originally published in 1985, this book argues that to make sense any attempt to improve the situation must take account of what we now know about adult growth and development, accepting as an operational imperative that it is as problematic and turbulent as childhood.
The book claims that since adults flourish to the extent that they have a sense of personal recognition, the business of education is to enable people to gain that sense of being recognised and valued through any learning they undertake.
It suggests that putting adults in charge of their own learning is the logical extension of establishing a public education system and so is a necessary step towards our society becoming a democracy of learners.
This important book marked a watershed in the literature on adult and continuing education.
