Creating A Centre For University Faculty Learning And Teaching: Adult Education In The Academy Of The Second Millennium, Marilyn E. Laiken
Adult Education Research Conference
Although numerous attempts have been made to establish a centre for excellence in teaching and learning at the University of Toronto, none have been sustained. The author suggests that a more systemically-focused approach which uses wide consultation and collaborative planning with key stakeholders may help achieve the goal.

Problems Of Mapping The Field Of Education For Adults Through The Literature, Peter Jarvis, John Holford, Colin Griffin
Adult Education Research Conference
The education of adults is a modernity project and as we come to the end of the era, adult education, as we knew it, has been transformed into lifelong learning. We are producing a 5 volume set of books reflecting significant contributions to the field in the English language throughout the era. In this discussion paper we highlight and illustrate some of the problems of this on-going project.
Learning Theory And Adult Education, Knud Illeris
Learning Theory And Adult Education, Knud Illeris
Adult Education Research Conference
Today a majority of the participants in adult education are unskilled or unemployed adults who must combine acquiring a professional qualification with a change of identity and way of life. As a foundation of such education, staff and planners need a comprehensive learning theory that includes the cognitive, psychodynamic and social-societal dimensions of learning.

Collaboration Anxiety: What Do We Do About It?, Lynette Harper, Marina Niks, Allison Tom
Adult Education Research Conference
The growing momentum of collaborative and participatory research initiatives is raising new issues in social science research. Collaborative research projects differ dramatically in their theoretical and methodological approaches, but they all involve personal risk-taking by the researchers as well as the researched. We believe that the most critical topic in collaboration is the commitment to changing the power dynamics in a research relationship.
Measuring Outcomes Of Continuing Professional Education, Jenny Gough, Peteris Darzinsm, David Beckett
Measuring Outcomes Of Continuing Professional Education, Jenny Gough, Peteris Darzinsm, David Beckett
Adult Education Research Conference
Continuing professional education (CPE) should improve performance, yet ways of establishing evidence of improvement are hard to identify. We propose a systematic review of the outcomes of various CPE strategies. To do this we need to establish how the effectiveness of CPE can be measured and explore this in the health-care professions.
Learning Under Fire: Adult Education In The Heat Of Conflict, R. Michael Fisher
Learning Under Fire: Adult Education In The Heat Of Conflict, R. Michael Fisher
Adult Education Research Conference
A critical review of the discourses on ‘conflict’ in conflict management education literature revealed an ideological bias and "hidden curriculum" of propaganda, which is heavily influencing social conflict conceptualizations and practices. Workers with adults have an emerging 'conflict' pedagogy to develop and draw upon as counterhegemonic. Conflict is re-examined as a critical site of learning.

Are We Walking The Talk? Questions Of Structure And Agency In The Research On Teaching In Adult Education, John M. Dirkx, Jennifer Kushner, Susan B. Slusarski
Adult Education Research Conference
Despite current prevalence of constructivist epistemologies, the practice of teaching adults continues to reflect representational approaches to meaning. In this roundtable discussion, we explore the use of Giddens’ theory of structuration as a framework for deepening our understanding of the lack of change in teaching.

Is It Time To Move On? Reflections On A Research Agenda For Self-Directed Learning In The 21st Century, Ralph G. Brockett

Equipped for the Future (EFF), the national standards-based system reform initiative for adult education, has developed sixteen content standards that define the core knowledge and skills adults need to effectively carry out their primary roles. The current stage of EFF research is focused on development of performance standards for these content standards. This roundtable will discuss issues and findings from this field-based research.

Oral Tradition - A Literacy For Lifelong Learning: Native American Approaches To Justice And Wellness Education., Marlene R. Atleo, Achaessa James
Adult Education Research Conference
Native American oral tradition provides a literacy for lifelong learning that promotes perspective transformations. This approach is particularly suited to justice and wellness education because participants engage multiple ways of being and knowing: sensory, philosophical, serious, humorous, etc. Oral traditions can be understood in the context of transformative learning that has implications for adult education.
Creating Private Spaces To Learn Public Participation, Joanna Ashworth
Creating Private Spaces To Learn Public Participation, Joanna Ashworth
Adult Education Research Conference
Conceptions of private and public inform educational research and planning for labour market transitions in a small resource-based town in British Columbia. Laid-off forestry workers, women on social-assistance and underemployed youth seek inclusion in a community dialogue on educational planning, yet require support to participate.
Adult Education For A Civil Society: Starting Over, Pramila Aggarwal, Bill Fallis, Bob Luker
Adult Education For A Civil Society: Starting Over, Pramila Aggarwal, Bill Fallis, Bob Luker
Adult Education Research Conference
To "start over" adult educators need to reexamine the present practice of adult education and community development in Canada, as compared to our earlier ideals for the field that included the promotion of greater democracy, social equality and equitable economic opportunities for all Canadians. In this reassessment, we need to consider the broader potential of our community agencies, as sites for revitalizing our civil society.
Mapping Use Of A Self-Directed On-Line Heart Disease Education Program Onto Health Learning Outcomes: A Study Of Post-Heart Attack Learners, Meg Wise, Gi Woong Yun, Bret Shaw
Mapping Use Of A Self-Directed On-Line Heart Disease Education Program Onto Health Learning Outcomes: A Study Of Post-Heart Attack Learners, Meg Wise, Gi Woong Yun, Bret Shaw
Adult Education Research Conference
We correlated 25 heart patients’ changes in four behaviors to usage of behavior themes and three on-line learning activities. Information correlated negatively; communications correlated positively; and interactive planning showed a positive trend with changing behaviors. These findings challenge on-line educators to transcend information provision and offer more opportunities that integrate social interaction and planning.
Place Matters: Producing Power And Identity, Arthur L. Wilson
Place Matters: Producing Power And Identity, Arthur L. Wilson
Adult Education Research Conference
"Place" plays a significant role in producing power relations in continuing professional education. Where we "locate" our CPE programs influences not only their purposes and processes but also produces the identities of the participating professionals and professions as well as the power professionals and professions exercise in society.

Adult Education Research Conference
This paper considers "lifelong learning" among a group of doctors within the "male" medical profession. It explores their struggle to be effective and reflective practitioners, in a world where subjective knowledge and cultural understanding are often derided, and yet "success" may depend on the integration of medical with cultural and emotional literacy.

Questions For The Adult Educator On A Virtual Odyssey: An Analysis Of Internet And Web-Based Learning, Sue Webb
Adult Education Research Conference
This paper examines the argument that lifelong learning should become increasingly dependent on education technology because this will alleviate many of the barriers to learning adults face. Lifelong learning is diverse, and so caution is needed when generalising from case specific research. The premise that new learning technologies promote social inclusion is still relatively untested.
