What should we educate for, and why? What constitutes a meaningful liberal education in modern times, as distinct from mere training for a vocation?
Every institution of higher education must periodically engage in a self-assessment of its educational goals and the extent to which they actually guide curricular practice. It can be said with confidence that the reflections contained in this book will, at the very least, serve as a powerful catalytic agent in precipitating out insights into the educational condition of our institutions of higher education and ways in which it can be improved.
School choice, multicultural education, and education reform are among the topics explored in this anthology, which replaces Greenhaven's 1992 edition. David C. Berliner and Linda Chavez are among the contributors for this topic.
The book begins with a rationale for the provision of education for adults and analyzes contemporary theory before going on to give practical advice on the curriculum development and the teaching of adults. Students of the education of adults will find it an invaluable course companion, while practitioners in the field of adult and continuing education and lifelong learning will find much in this book that is relevant to their day-to-day work.
