Böcker av David Beckett

In both paid and unpaid work contexts adults learn powerfully from their experiences. In this book, the authors argue that this should be the basis for a new perception of what is truly educational in life. Drawing on the works of Aristotle, Wittgenstein and Russell, along with contemporary conceptual work, they use both philosophical argument and empirical example to establish their view.This work will be of essential interest to philosophers of education and educational theorists worldwide. It will also interest teachers, trainers, facilitators, and all those with an interest in adult and vocational education.

This book centres on a broadened view of complexity that will enrich engagement with complexity in the social sciences.

This book examines the subject of adult education with a holistic approach, covering topics such as education vs training, professional practice in adult and vocational education, and experience, self direction and reflection.
