Adult Learning Educational Policy Issues
Adult educational issues in different theoretical perspectives and their application in Adult Education policy development. Also, the complexity of adult learning compared to school education, and the relationship between political, social, and economic changes and their impact on the Adult Educational priorities and the development educational practices.
The strength of my analysis of adult and vocational education on a theoretical level is adequate as it covers the necessary level of analysis and use of appropriate theoretical frame works applicable to adult and vocational education. As well, it also has used considerable books as a secondary research material to collect information and reflect on it critically to draw conclusions and to develop general principles of adult learning policies and practices. There fore, my critical reflection also is considerably very strong.
However, the weakness in the analysis and critical reflection is that I did not use a variety of secondary information and solely based on book references as the time is limited. Overall the strength of my assignment is far exceeding the weakness as I used a considerable amount of variety of books relevant to the subject concerned.
Conclusion
In my experience and reflection I have found that adult education is not neutral and to some extent it is affected by political and social agendas. It is not based solely on sound theories and ideologies pay a part. That is a reality that I have theorized after the secondary information and synthesis. However, as knowledge becomes an important asset in determining the future economic and social development and knowledge management is vital educational institutions have to educate the aged population and use their experience and wisdom to social progress life-long learning principles and learning society principles have to be used as a base to formulate adult and vocational education which is compatible with the social and economic and cultural environment in Australia. The change in adult and vocational education in my view will be evolutionary given its historical change in the past. It can be said given the liberal democratic structure of politics in Australia the adult and vocational education at least in the medium to long -term have the possibility to embrace life-long learning in to its adult and educational practice. In addition, learning society may be a possibility in the long-term as evolutionary changes take more time than revolutionary changes.
