Habit, social milieus and the quality of life, learning and teaching
The contribution highlights the topic quality in adult education from the perspective of
Bourdieu’s theory of the habit and the on this building concept of social milieus.
Thereby attention is drawn to some aspects neglected in the discussion that are of special interest to the social actors and the ”theory of practice” which derives from them: the learners, the practical processes on the organisational level and the question of the textual reference of quality. First of all the habit concept is scantly outlined in its relevance for adult education (1), then the question of quality of teaching-learning-processes is looked upon (2) as well as at the possibility of milieu-orientated organisation development (3), before the topic is discussed concludingly (4).
