Personality and Biography
Two separate but complementary questions - the unmistakable outline of the dynamic individual and the socially and culturally constrained biographical pattern - inform this work on international adult education. 67 experts drawn from 22 countries and five continents have helped to give it its compendium-like character, comprising 62 revised and enlarged papers originally presented in 1996 at the Sixth International Conference on the History of Adult Education. The language of publication is English, with additional 18 German-language contributions, all prefaced by an abstract in English. The period principally treated extends from the 18th to the 20th century. Charting as it does the importa...
Transcending Boundaries
This volume presents 16 essays by friends and colleagues celebrating Gisela Hermann-Brennecke's 60th birthday. Since the early 1970s, when she emerged as one of the outstanding German specialists in language acquisition and language teaching, she has been active in research and teaching at various German universities and abroad. The wide range of Gisela Hermann-Brennecke's research interests and publications - transcending boundaries - is mirrored in the diversity of the contributions in this volume: language learning and language policy - studies in English, American, and Postcolonial literatures and cultures - creative writing.
Radical Change in Everyday Life
This volume deals with a key concept concerning the future: change. It is omnipresent and yet is often only perceived in retrospect. The book’s editor and founder of Psychological Future Management argues that we are currently experiencing the beginning of the most radical and profound change in human history. This is the right moment to analyze people’s ability to change more precisely. In this first, representative study, Germany was chosen as an example. The results serve as a basis for further psychological, sociological and prospective considerations. The Germans obviously have great resilience and problem-solving competence. At the same time, however, they are one-sidedly fixated o...
Disability & International Development
One of the greatest challenges facing modern global health is how to include the most marginalized and impoverished people in international efforts to promote social and economic development. In Disability and International Development disability rights are situated within the broader context of global health and the need for much greater inter-sector collaboration. Reports from a broad cross-section of low- and middle-income countries—locales as diverse as Zimbabwe, Bolivia, Kyrgyzstan, and Papua New Guinea—move beyond surface discussions of "what is working" and "what shows promise" to discuss political and governance contexts, the roles of disabled persons in research by outsiders, co...
Altern und Bildung
Gerade im höheren Lebensalter ist die Vielfalt der Alterns- und Lernstile besonders groß, auch die Leistungspotenziale sind verschieden. Sylvia Kade rückt die Zeitdimension des Lernens in den Mittelpunkt und entwirft eine Didaktik der differentiellen Bildung. Für ihre Lernmodelle berücksichtigt sie die historische Entwicklung im Umgang mit Alter genauso wie die Diskussion um die demografische Entwicklung, die Lebensstile und Bildungsprofile des Alterns oder die institutionellen Angebote der Altersbildung.
Lebenskunst lernen?
Lebenslanges Lernen ist ein Leitbegriff gegenwärtiger Bildungsdebatten, pädagogischer Programme und wissenschaftlicher Forschung. Die vorherrschende Lesart ist dabei eher ökonomisch orientiert: Sie bewertet Bildungsprozesse nach ihrem individuellen oder betrieblichen Nutzen. Sebastian Lerch hingegen verfolgt einen ganzheitlichen Ansatz, der das moderne Subjekt in Alltag, Erwerbsarbeit und Gesellschaft in den Blick nimmt. Dazu führt er den Begriff der Lebenskunst in die Debatte ein und fragt nach der Rolle der Erwachsenenbildung für die Selbstreflexion des Einzelnen unter dem Gesichtspunkt eines gelingenden Lebens. Unter dieser inhaltlichen und perspektivischen Erweiterung ergeben sich nicht nur bedenkenswerte Anregungen für die aktuelle Bildungsdiskussion - diese Arbeit bietet zudem einen gemeinsamen Ort für unterschiedliche Theorien Lebenslangen Lernens und Praxisfelder der Erwachsenenbildung an.
