From Hamburg to Belem: The Limits of Technocratic Thinking in Adult Learning Education
Torres, Carlos Alberto
International Journal of Lifelong Education, v34 n1 p22-31 2015
This article discusses some of the generalized analyses of adult learning education, mostly informed by technocratic thinking, highlighting perceived trends in adult learning education between CONFINTEA V and CONFITEA VI. Those trends could be understood as challenges. Employing a political sociology of adult learning education as a critique of instrumental reason is advanced.
