reClaiming Space & Dialogue in Adult Education
Kawalilak, Colleen A.
International Electronic Journal for Leadership in Learning, v10 n8 2006
This paper critiques current trends in adult education against a backdrop of practice that was once testimony to an educational model that extended beyond formal learning and a business and industry agenda. Adult educators are called upon to reclaim an identity as leaders, in support of a shift in perspective and practice, more aligned to addressing the long-term needs of societies. Reclaiming "space" and engaging in meaningful "dialogue" are identified as critical elements to bring about this shift.
