Download or read book Adult education policies, participation and social inequalities and their relationship written by Viktoria Arnold and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2020-09-14 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Pedagogy - School System, Educational and School Politics, Hertie School of Governance, language: English, abstract: This thesis specifically investigates incentive structures and the removal of barriers to enhance a more equal participation in adult education to prepare the workforce for upcoming challenges related to the future of work. It aims at contributing to this discussion and indicates how adult education policies can be used to possibly reduce socio-economic inequalities in accessing adult education and provide workers with the skills needed in the (future) labour market. This topic seems to be largely unexamined and no systematic cross-country comparison has been conducted in the past. While human capital accumulation in terms of primary education has been well investigated, research in the context of post-schooling phase, investigating the direct correlation between investing in (adult) education and its returns, largely remains a black box. Two European countries that are considered particularly affected by automation will be examined, namely Austria and Germany. Whereas in Austria, 16.6% of jobs are at high risk of automation and 29.7% at risk of significant change, the figures for Germany are slightly higher with 18.4% of jobs at high risk of automation and 35.8% at risk of significant change, compared to an OECD average of 14% and 32% respectively. Additionally, both countries share similar institutional structures and are therefore considered comparable. This thesis aspires to shed light on government intervention and the adult education market to possibly reduce social inequalities by setting incentives and removing barriers to enhance overall (and a more egalitarian) participation in adult education. Finally, it seeks to contribute to the scientific and societal debate as well as to provide approaches on how to design effective, efficient, and egalitarian adult education policies. The research question to be answered aims at empirical hypothesis testing and is of explanatory nature.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Download or read book Adult Education and Poverty Reduction written by Julia Preece and published by Lentswe La Lesedi. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty and the inequalities associated with poverty have existed for centuries. The topic has experienced a revival of interest since recent "Make Poverty History Campaigns" have brought the stark realities of world inequalities to the fore. However, public policy documents rarely highlight the contribution that adult education can make towards poverty reduction. This omission perhaps reflects, in part, a lack of understanding of the nature of adult education as a tool for development. This book attempts to plug some of those omissions in understanding for policy makers, practitioners and researchers alike. Beginning with a conceptual analysis of poverty and its relationship to adult education, subsequent chapters offer a variety of international perspectives on issues related to adult education policy, research and practice for poverty reduction. They address one or more cross cutting themes of empowerment/consciousness raising, targeted community participation, sustainability, gender inequalities, social capital, multi-sectoral approaches, and context-based literacies education. These themes all share a common commitment to holistic, pro-poor interpretations of poverty. Some chapters highlight concerns and issues, others demonstrate what can be done if the commitment and political will to make a difference are present. A concluding chapter looks at future research agendas and possibilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last half century has seen a dramatic expansion in access to primary, secondary, and higher education in many nations around the world. Educational expansion is desirable for a country's economy, beneficial for educated individuals themselves, and is also a strategy for greater social harmony. But has greater access to education reduced or exacerbated social inequality? Who are the winners and the losers in the scramble for educational advantage? In Growing Gaps, Paul Attewell and Katherine S. Newman bring together an impressive group of scholars to closely examine the relationship between inequality and education. The relationship is not straightforward and sometimes paradoxical. Across both post-industrial societies and the high-growth economies of the developing world, education has become the central path for upward mobility even as it maintains and exacerbates existing inequalities. In many countries there has been a staggering growth of private education as demand for opportunity has outpaced supply, but the families who must fund this human capital accumulation are burdened with more and more debt. Privatizing education leads to intensified inequality, as students from families with resources enjoy the benefits of these new institutions while poorer students face intense competition for entry to under-resourced public universities and schools. The ever-increasing supply of qualified, young workers face class- or race-based inequalities when they attempt to translate their credentials into suitable jobs. Covering almost every continent, Growing Gaps provides an overarching and essential examination of the worldwide race for educational advantage and will serve as a lasting achievement towards understanding the root causes of inequality.

Download or read book Student Voices on Inequalities in European Higher Education written by Fergal Finnegan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the voices and experiences of non-traditional students in European higher education. It examines the impact that access to higher education is having on these students’ lives and discusses what this tells us about European education and society. In particular, it explores the multi-dimensional nature of inequality in varied national contexts focusing on the issues of class, gender, ethnicity, age and disability. The book contributes to the on-going debate about the changing nature of European higher education and argues that research based on the experiences of non-traditional students can be used to improve policy and practice in tertiary education. Drawing on biographical narrative interviews with ‘non-traditional’ students, the book covers topics including: • the contemporary nature of inequality and how the various forms of inequality intersect and overlap in higher education and society • the formation and transformation of learner identities • the structural barriers faced by non-traditional students • the sources of student resilience and agency • a comparison of patterns of inequality, access and retention in various European countries • the implications of these findings for practice and policies. Student Voices on Inequalities in Higher Education will appeal to academics, researchers, policy-makers and practitioners working in higher education institutions as well as people working in the field of widening participation, adult education, access and centres for teaching and learning. It will also be of interest to postgraduate students in higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relying on personal insights, Dr. Ben wood Johnson offers educators, students, and school administrators alike a glimpse into the reality of adult learning. Adult learners face panoply of situations, which often have detrimental effects on their psyche. The American educational system was not designed for adults. Older learners often face insurmountable obstacles in their quest for an education. For the most part, adult learners are left to fend for themselves. Many of them have no other alternatives but to abandon their educational goals. Adult Education in America—a policy assessment of adult learning—offers the reader a genuine lens to explore the issues. The text focuses on problems related to logistics, pedagogy, employment, relationships among students, school staff (e.g., administrators and faculty), and other personal situation. The book explores common issues in higher education, which many people, including school administrators, are aware of, but seldom tackle with concrete solutions.

Download or read book Learning Trajectories, Violence and Empowerment amongst Adult Basic Skills Learners written by Vicky Duckworth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning Trajectories, Violence and Empowerment amongst Adult Basic Skills Learners offers deep insights into the lives of marginalised communities and the link between learning, literacy and violence, not previously carried out in-depth in a small scale study. It breaks the negative stereo-types of adults who struggle to read and write, who are often labelled and stigmatised by dominant discourses, and in doing so exposes why and how Basic Skills Learners often find themselves in marginal positions. The structural inequalities many face from childhood to adulthood across the private and public domains of their lives are revealed and probed, thus challenging neo-liberalism claims of an apparently egalitarian social field. The learners’ narratives expose the contradiction, complexities and ambivalences they experience in their daily lives, and how they try to make sense of them from their structural positioning as basic skills learners in a society based on inequality of opportunity and choice. Applying a feminist, qualitative, longitudinal, ethnographic and participatory approach, the book offers a critical perspective, drawing on Bourdieu’s work as the theoretical framework, as well as using a range of feminist, sociologists of education, literature on the ethics of care and critical literacy pedagogy, including the New Literacy Studies. The author’s personal position as an ’insider’ with ‘insider knowledge’ of marginalised communities is also woven throughout the chapters and offers insights into the struggles, conformity and resistance faced by the participants in the study. The book contributes to the debate on the impact of violence on learning and its link to class, gender and basic skills as well opening up a discussion on the power of a critical curriculum to empower people across the domains of their lives. It will be valuable reading for trainee teachers, teachers, education and sociology students, postgraduate students, as well as literacy specialists, researchers, academics, policy makers and managers of public services.

This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 1551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether it is earning a GED, a particular skill, or technical topic for a career, taking classes of interest, or even returning to begin a degree program or completing it, adult learning encompasses those beyond the traditional university age seeking out education. This type of education could be considered non-traditional as it goes beyond the typical educational path and develops learners that are self-initiated and focused on personal development in the form of gaining some sort of education. Essentially, it is a voluntary choice of learning throughout life for personal and professional development. While there is often a large focus towards K-12 and higher education, it is important that research also focuses on the developing trends, technologies, and techniques for providing adult education along with understanding lifelong learners’ choices, developments, and needs. The Research Anthology on Adult Education and the Development of Lifelong Learners focuses specifically on adult education and the best practices, services, and educational environments and methods for both the teaching and learning of adults. This spans further into the understanding of what it means to be a lifelong learner and how to develop adults who want to voluntarily contribute to their own development by enhancing their education level or knowledge of certain topics. This book is essential for teachers and professors, course instructors, business professionals, school administrators, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the latest advancements in adult education and lifelong learning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book re-imagines the essence and role of adult education at both the individual and societal levels. It provides arguments for understanding adult education as a process of agency and empowerment, which has not only instrumental but intrinsic and transformative roles to play. This book brings together ideas from the capability approach with insights from recognition theory; the embeddedness approach; the political economic perspective for understanding public and private goods and the common goods perspective. The analysis draws on data from large-scale international studies – alongside qualitative data - and adopts a wide-ranging European comparative perspective. The book develops original instruments for measuring different dimensions of adult education as a common good, and its realisation in different social contexts. It is aimed at academics, students, practitioners, and policy makers interested in adult and/or higher education and the social justice perspective to human life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Inequality at the Starting Gate is a new EPI study of the learning gap between rich and poor children when they enter kindergarten. This study, by two education experts from the University of Michigan, analyzes U.S. Education Department data on 16,000 kindergartners nationwide, showing the direct link between student achievement gaps and socioeconomic status. The report finds that impoverished children lag behind their peers in reading and math skills even before they start school. It shows how a lack of resources and opportunities can cause lasting academic damage to some children, underscoring the need for earlier and more comprehensive efforts to prepare children to succeed in school."--Http://www.lights.com/cgi-bin/epi/shop/shop.cgi.

Download or read book Researching Learning Cultures and Educational Identities in Communities written by Carrie Birch and published by Niace. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about the connections between social and educational inequalities in the UK. It draws on empirical research into how these inequalities impact lives, particularly those of adults who, having left school with few or no qualifications, are likely to suffer social exclusion. Through life histories, the research explores early educational experiences and their effect on identities in adult life, perspectives on learning, and the impact of learning cultures. The book explores a long-standing concern of UK stakeholders in adult lifelong learning: why mainstream provisions apparently do not always succeed in re-engaging and retaining adults who left school without qualifications. These are adults who live in communities suffering social exclusion - a flawed term in social policy, not least because it implies and reinforces a sense of a 'them vs. us' division in UK society. The research is significant because the findings challenge current assumptions about perspectives of learning, framed by the real-life experiences of people excluded from adult learning and its benefits. Moreover, the book adds to the research about adult lifelong learning in ways that may bring a more informed view of this problem. It presents key messages on the need to support learning transitions throughout life, on the impact of appropriate curriculum design, and the pedagogy to meet the learning needs of groups of adults who are not visible.
