Opis

A main premise of this handbook is that adult and continuing education should not simply respond to rapidly changing social, economic, technological, and political environments across the globe, but should lead the way in preparing adults to become informed, globally-connected, critical citizens who are knowledgeable, skilled and adaptive.

Recenzje

"To sum up, potential readers will probably find everything they want to know about current adult education and continuing learning in this latest edition of the Handbook. In this context, it is worth mentioning that one of the key strengths of this publication is the broad scale of topics it covers. Many of them, which are part of the 'contemporary issues', have never been discussed by foundational literature. Therefore, these chapters can be a source of inspiration for both students and researchers as well as practitioners and stakeholders seeking new fresh approaches to rebuilding lifelong learning programmes or introducing policy innovations. The editorial team did an colossal job in providing an overview of knowledge concerning the complexities of lifelong learning and shedding light on unconscious biases in its background. This Handbook definitely raises awareness of them.

I found reading the Handbook’s chapters helpful and inspirational. Any scholar or professional who wishes to build a better community through learning will benefit from them."
