✤ Student driven!

✤ Concern for social justice!

✤ Experience verse subject!

✤ Industrial vs. Personal!

✤ Trade Vs. Life

http://www.halloffame.outreach.ou.edu/2002/lindeman.html

“Adult education is a co-operative venture in non-authoritarian, informal learning the chief purpose of which is to discover the meaning of experience; a quest of the mind which digs down to the roots of the preconceptions which formulate our conduct; a technique of learning for adults which makes education coterminous with life, and hence elevates living itself to the level of an experiment.”!What is Adult Education? (1925)

Malcolm Knowles

Andragogy (1984)

1. Self-concept: As a person matures his self concept moves from one of being a dependent personality toward one of being a self-directed human being

2. Experience: As a person matures he accumulates a growing reservoir of experience that becomes an increasing resource for learning.

3. Readiness to learn. As a person matures his readiness to learn becomes oriented increasingly to the developmental tasks of his social roles.

4. Orientation to learning. As a person matures his time perspective changes from one of postponed application of knowledge to immediacy of application, and accordingly his orientation toward learning shifts from one of subject-centeredness to one of problem centredness.

5. Motivation to learn: As a person matures the motivation to learn is internal (Knowles 1984:12).

In front of the jail, the Highty-Tighty put a great machine. “Now,” he said, “begins the fun. We'll take these folk and stretch them a little here, squeeze them a little there, press a bit, flatten a bit, until their forms are just like mine!” !The people shook their fists and

cried out angry shouts. But it was no use. One after the other, the short, the tall, the fat, the lean, were crammed into the wide metal mouth of the dreadful machine. One after the other they tumbled out again, stretched and flattened and absolutely square!

Why academia ignore values?

✤ Hard to measure emotions, feelings and cognitive weight!

✤ Does not work with testing methods and technology!

✤ Values are not tangible and can be misinterpreted!

✤ Academia believes values are linked with religion!

✤ Academia is anti religion!

✤ Not economical for text publishing

Allan Bloom 1987There is no real teacher who in practice does not believe in the existence of the soul, or in a magic that acts on it through speech.!! •! Preface! !They [students] learned to doubt beliefs even before they believed in anything.!! •! p. 42! !The dreariness of the family’s spiritual landscape passes belief. … The delicate fabric of the civilization into which the successive generations are woven has unraveled, and children are raised, not educated.!! •! p. 57! !As it now stands, students have powerful images of what a perfect body is and pursue it incessantly. But deprived of literary guidance, they no longer have any image of a perfect soul, and hence do not long to have one. They do not even imagine that there is such a thing.!! •! p. 67!

Reflection!!

“Values”!

“Importance and lasting beliefs or ideal shared by the members of a culture about what is good or bad and

desirable or undesirable. Values have major influence on a persona’s behavior and attitude and serve as broad

guidelines in all situations.”!!
