Resisting Neoliberalism in Education

Local, National and Transnational Perspectives

By: Tett, Lyn,Hamilton, Mary

Neoliberalism has been widely criticised because of its role in prioritising ‘free markets’ as the optimum way of solving problems and organising society. In the field of education, this leads to an emphasis on the knowledge economy to the detriment of wider social and ethical goals in ways that reduce both persons and education to solely economic actors. Drawing on an international range of contexts across informal, adult, school and university settings, this book provides innovative examples that show how neoliberalism in education can be challenged and changed at the local, national and transnational levels in order to foster a more democratic culture.

Adult Literacy, Numeracy And Language: Policy, Practice And Research

Policy, Practice & Research

By: Tett, Lyn,Hamilton, Mary,Hillier, Yvonne

This book explores the social practice of literacy, numeracy and language and its implications for teaching and learning adult basic skills. Leading international experts argue that literacy, numeracy and language are more than just a set of skills or techniques, but are shaped by the social and cultural context within which they are taking place; the meanings they have for users; and the purposes they serve. This shifts the focus from a narrow, functional and externally imposed definition of literacy, numeracy and language learning, to more open and numerous definitions that focus on what people do with their knowledge, understanding and skills in a range of contexts. Adult Literacy, Numeracy and Languageshows how the social practice approach to learning and teaching can be used to develop more inclusive views of adult literacy, numeracy and language. Bringing together the views of researchers, policy makers and practitioners, it helps readers to develop an understanding of contemporary policy developments and encourages them to examine their own practice as adult basic education teachers, in order to respond more effectively to the needs of their students. This book is a valuable resource for practitioners, researchers and students on courses in adult and continuing education (particularly basic skills), postgraduate students, and researchers in the field of post-compulsory education.

Community Education, Learning and Development

By: Lyn Tett,Ian Fyfe

Lyn Tett has developed her discussion of community education to include aspects of learning and development in this revised and expanded third edition of her popular text. The book illustrates the conceptual and political debates surrounding the role, purpose and practice of community education, learning and development. Community Education, Learning and Development moves behind the policy rhetoric to recognise and explore some of the tensions in current policy trends, particularly the danger of seeing social marginalisation and exclusion as an individual problem rather than a result of structured inequalities. A number of community education, learning and development projects are examined to give a real sense of the approach being advocated and to make a case for a model of lifelong learning focusing on democratic renewal. The task of community educators and those concerned with learning and development is not an easy one. They must recognise competing interests but still enable voices that have been excluded to be heard, whilst also seeking ways of building mutual understandings and cooperation. The challenge for community education is considerable but this book provides a real sense of its possibilities for learning and development throughout life.

Negotiating the Labyrinth

Progression Opportunities for Adult Learners

By: Pamela Munn,Nick Arney,Lyn Tett

A study examined progression opportunities for adult learners in Scotland. The study focused on progression opportunities that encourage the following: (1) participation in the education system by traditionally underrepresented groups, (2) sideways movement within the education system, and (3) upward movement within the system. The two-phase study included an analysis of available literature on opportunities for progression, visits to projects, and semistructured interviews with policymakers and practitioners involved in the provision of adult education programs at the secondary and postsecondary levels. Twenty-seven respondents were interviewed regarding progression opportunities in one region, and 25 individuals were interviewed to obtain a more general overview of progression opportunities. Data from the literature review and interviews were synthesized into the following categories: aspects of progression (availability of learning opportunities, purposes of adults participation, and nature of progression); the national picture (array of available opportunities and key features encouraging each type of progression); progression policy in one region; provision of information about progression opportunities; the effectiveness of existing progression policy; and policy implications. (The project advisory committee members are listed in an appendix. Contains 22 references.) (MN)
