case studies in methodology and theory

Leiden [u.a.]
, Brill Sense , 2020
Schlagworte:
Internationale Erwachsenenbildung, Internationaler Austausch, Qualitative Sozialforschung, Qualitative Inhaltsanalyse, Lernforschung, Bildungsforschung, Theorie, Weiterbildung, Aufsatzsammlung Scholarship on adult education has fueled a high level of methodological creativity and innovation in order to tackle a diverse range of issues in a wide range of settings and locations in a critical and participatory manner. Adult education research is marked by the desire to do research differently and to conduct critical research with rather than about people which requires theoretical and methodological creativity. This entails a particular approach to how we seek to know the world in collaboration with people, to rupture hierarchical relations and to create new collaborative spaces of learning and research that encompass the diversity of people’s life experiences. Doing Critical and Creative Research in Adult Education brings together both leading and emerging scholars in adult education research in order to capture the vitality and complexity of contemporary adult education research. This includes contributions on biographical, narrative, embodied, arts and media-based and ethnographic methods alongside the critical use of quantitative and mixed methods. This distinctive and rich methodological contribution has a general relevance and usefulness for all researchers and students in the social science and humanities, which draws attention to the importance of critical and creative participatory learning processes in human life and learning.

Education and development in Afghanistan [Elektronische Ressource]

challenges and prospects

Bielefeld
, transcript , 2019 , 314 Seiten
Schlagworte:
Afghanistan, Bildungswesen, Schule, Lehrerbildung, Hochschulbildung, Projekt, Kooperation, Deutschland After years of military interventions, the current situation in Afghanistan is highly ambivalent and partially contradictory – especially regarding the interplay of development, peace, security, education, and economy. Despite numerous initiatives, Afghanistan is still confronted with a poor security and economic condition. At the same time, enrollment numbers in schools and universities as well as the rate of academics reached a historical peak. This volume investigates the tension between these ambivalent developments. Sociologists, political and cultural scientists along with development workers, educators, and artists from Germany and Afghanistan discuss the idea that education is primary for rebuilding a stable Afghan state and government.

Empowerment und Erwachsenenbildung

eine Studie zu Frauen aus benachteiligten sozialen Gruppen in Indien

Würzburg
, Würzburg University Press , 2020
Schlagworte:
Indien, Erwachsenenbildung, Empowerment, Frau, Lebenswelt, Gesellschaft, Sozialer Wandel, Unterprivilegierung, Teilnehmer, Individualisierung, Selbststeuerung, Selbstgesteuertes Lernen, Lebenslanges Lernen, Internationaler Vergleich Diese Studie widmet sich dem Beitrag von Erwachsenenbildung zum Empowerment von Teilnehmenden. Ihr Empowerment zeigt sich darin, dass diese ihr Handeln stärker selbst steuern und ihre persönliche Lebenswelt in höherem Umfang selbst gestalten. Ausgehend von Diskursen im deutschsprachigen Raum wird untersucht, in welcher Weise Erwachsenenbildung das Empowerment von Frauen stärken kann. Aus gesellschaftskritischer Perspektive wird das Empowerment-Konzept in Individualisierungsprozessen und im Kontext sozialer Benachteiligung verortet. Damit stellt das Empowerment von Teilnehmenden einen Zwischenschritt von traditionell geprägter Erwachsenenbildung zum Paradigma Lebenslangen Lernens dar. Der Studie beinhaltet eine empirische Erhebung in der indischen Erwachsenenbildung, in der dem Empowerment-Konzept eine hohe Aufmerksamkeit zukommt. (Verlag)

Partnership in higher education

trends between African and European institutions

Leiden [u.a.]
, Brill Sense , 2019
Schlagworte:
Afrika, Europa, Erwachsenenbildung, Hochschulbildung, Hochschulforschung, Kooperation, Internationalisierung, Internationaler Vergleich, Aufsatzsammlung Trends in institutional partnership in higher education have shown tremendous growth in the past three decades. These trends are manifested through the growing initiatives of joint programs that promote collaborative research, academic mobility, joint curriculum development and course delivery, joint bidding for development projects and benchmarking. Partnerships in higher education have been used not only as an instrument for institutional development through a wide range of strategic alliances but also as an essential way of introducing new voices to the operations of the universities by initiating new paradigms that bring new perspectives and bear competitive advantage on the partners. As the trend of partnership in higher education grew, scholars in higher education studies have also engaged in conceptualizing higher education partnership from academic perspectives, analyzing trends and developing models of higher education collaborations. Partnership in Higher Education: Trends between African and European Institutions is a pioneer in bringing together a comprehensive perspective on matters of higher education partnership among African and European institutions. It discusses the ongoing debates on higher education partnership and internationalization strategies by providing empirical insights from various case studies. (Verlag)
