Talk:Lifelong learning

message: Asteur (talk) 16:52, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

message: This article needs to be broken into at least four components:
# Home schooling (applies to children; is not lifelong learning);
# Adult education (for adults who are looking to finish/add to interrupted education, plus some enrichment/personal development);
# Continuing education (used by professionals to maintain their credentials);
# Lifelong learning (not-for-credit classes taken by older adults who wish to keep their minds active.)
Until these split-offs have been made/authorized, this is very daunting as it stands because it demands many different areas of expertise.

These policies and associated government publications reached their height in the 1990s.

Extended response by academics pointed out the many flaws in this analysis, but more importantly that this shallow analysis by policy writers provided little real direction.
 
If anyone can provide references for them, please do so and return 'em to the article.--Technopat (talk) 15:52, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Copyright problem

message: I am taking a course from University of Manitoba CACE 98908 Introduction to Emerging Technologies and the term Shifting Knowledge was introduced. I can not find a direct reference to Shifting Knowledge within Wikipedia - it could be cross-referenced. At this point, I would research the topic to determine whether a new page should be added to Wikipedia, whether the link should remain, or other futher actions. Comments requested. Asteur

thread_title:  Shifting Knowledge 

message: I have added a minimal amount of material where it belongs to connect to a new Lifelong learning institutes article without deleting any content from the present article. The sentence on Allen Tough was moved down 3 paragraphs to a more appropriate location. Lifelong learning institutes were added to lists in Contexts and See Also.  I added Continuing Education to See Also.   (That is incidental cleanup that is not connected to lifelong learning institutes.)  Please look above to the "To The Editor" section for some additional opinions.LM6407 (talk) 05:59, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

message: I suggest adding this part to the section "concept"
As more and more people live longer and healthier lives, the ways that education is entangled with life is changing. Educational needs, priorities and modalities change when there are shifts in the balance between youth and the elderly, in the proportion of people in the working-age population, as well as in the kinds of caregiving and care work (waged and unwaged) that is undertaken, by whom, and when.Gautam, S. and Shyangtan, S. 2020.

Adult Learning and Education as an Emancipatory Project
In recent decades, the principle of lifelong learning has become central in the formulation of educational policies worldwide. SDG4, for example, calls to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.”
International Commission on the Futures of Education 2021: Reimagining our Futures Together. A New Social Contract for Education, UNESCO, Paris.
As economies and societies change, adult education will possibly need to extend far beyond lifelong learning for labor market purposes. Opportunities for career change and reskilling connect to a broader reform of all education systems that emphasizes the creation of multiple, flexible pathways. It is commonly acknowledged that jobs and the nature of employment can change dramatically over the span of a single individual’s working life. Therefore, lifelong learning also concerns the idea of participation and inclusion of vulnerable groups who are currently often excluded from educational opportunities. Participation and inclusion go hand-in-hand with emancipatory visions of adult education, which also includes an appreciation of informal learning – the knowledge and capabilities acquired outside formal schooling settings.
Strengthening scientific literacy and combating all forms of misinformation are central elements of adult education strategy for the present and the future. The right to education is supported by the right to information and the right to culture.

 To ensure freedom of opinion and expression people need the ability to seek, receive and impart information and ideas. In our media-saturated contemporary world, rife with fake and misleading news, education plays an essential role in supporting people’s quests for accurate information and enabling their desire to pass it along faithfully, free of manipulation.Hager, P. and Beckett, D. 2020.

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Information Literacy and Scholarly Discourse

message: As a student, one of the questions we're instructed to ask is "Does the lead include a brief description of the article’s major sections?"
The introductory section gives a concise overview of the subject matter. It references some (but not many) of the article's sections. It would be helpful to see the lead section expounded on a bit more, with a better overview of the sections presented in the article.
