• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

context · The transformation of experience · The outcomes of learning · Cognitive theories · Emotions and learning · Experiential learning Although it is acknowledged from the outset that a totally comprehensive theory of learning is not possible, the ultimate goal of this book (and its forthcoming companion volumes) is nothing less than an endeavor to construct an integrated but critical theory of lifelong learning and the learning society. It will be essential reading for students in education, HRD and teaching and learning generally, in addition to academics and informed practitioners.

Rezensionen

'It is easy to see how Jarvis's views are heady and stimulating intellectual fodder for workshops, and certainly learners must feel empowered by being treated as the ultimate and privileged sources of knowledge about learning. Jarvis is intellectually eclectic on a grand scale, and attempts to contextualise his views within existentialist philosophy, phenomenology, social anthropology, psycho-analysis, and many other schemes of thought. All of this is accomplished with great zest and verve.'
