[E-Book] Connecting Adult Learning and Knowledge Management by
This multidisciplinary book represents an initial attempt to connect adult learning and knowledge management in theory and practice. It provides educators, learners and organizational development professionals with new strategies and resources for developing active and effective pedagogies, which in turn prepare learners and practitioners to manage knowledge in organizations and higher education. To do so, it gathers contributions and case studies from a diverse, global team of authors and provides a theoretical and practical outline of new strategies and methods for facilitating adult teaching and learning. It also provides a fresh reading of active learning methods, by adopting a knowledge management viewpoint that is broadly applicable, whether helping students master content in university courses, or helping organizations learn and change. The book is divided into three main sections: a) methods and theories for adult teaching and learning; b) knowledge management in education; and c) case studies and best practices that consider classroom learning, higher education change, and organization development.

[E-Book] Deep Learning by
Deep Learning is a global partnership that works to: transform the role of teachers to that of activators who design experiences that build global competencies using real-life problem solving; and supports schools, districts, and systems to shift practice and how to measure learning in authentic ways. Through learning partnerships, learning environments, new pedagogical practices, and leveraged digital skills, deep learning reaches students as never before--preparing them to be active, engaged participants in their future.

[E-Book] Diverse Pedagogical Approaches to Experiential Learning by
This edited collection offers a unique multidisciplinary perspective into the many factors that go into designing, facilitating, expanding, and assessing experiential learning (EL) from the perspective of faculty and staff educators. The editor and contributors bring decades of expertise with different forms of EL, including community-engaged learning, education abroad, internships, and more. Chapters offer case studies and reflections which highlight personal experiences and anecdotes which illuminate the realities of experiential teaching and learning. Through these stories and narratives, readers may better understand what doing EL entails on an everyday basis--both on a local and global scale--and learn how to enhance support and resources for experiential educators on college and university campuses.

[E-Book] Mapping Out the Research Field of Adult Education and Learning by
This book discusses the current state of the art in research on the education and learning of adults, and how such research has been transformed through contemporary policy and research practices. Gathering contributions from leading experts in the field, the book draws on previous research, as well as new findings in order to provide a map of this research field and its contemporary history. The chapters address a number of questions, including: What constitutes this research field? What theories and methodologies dominate within the field? What "invisible colleges" are active in shaping this academic field, in marking out its contours and in transforming its contemporary battle zones? Who is publishing in the field and who is deemed worth citing? What is the relationship between the shift in state policy on adult education and the research that is conducted on the education and learning of adults? How has the research field changed over time in various western countries? What do these meta-reflections of the field tell us about possible future research endeavours? Rather than speaking from within the field, this is a book about the research field. The diversity of the chapters provide a fascinating resource for anyone interested in research on the education and learning of adults.

Books
Deep Education Across the Disciplines and Beyond by
Deep Education in the Disciplines and Beyond represents a rich tapestry of knowledge from teachers and education scholars from around the world and from different backgrounds and nationalities, races, ethnicities, all of whom are grounded in the same theoretical framework of Deep Education by François Victor Tochon. The Deep Education theory is the foundation of a new educational movement based on a unified, progressive framework of education and society that fundamentally believes in and supports unwaveringly the capacity, autonomy, creativity and emotional lives of the student to be nourished and flourished in inherently collaborative, social settings for pedagogical purposes. This framework moreover establishes the rationale for a revisioning of not only our students and our pedagogy but even our current and future selves. Because life itself is both process and project-oriented, the authors of this volume understand that these same principles and approaches are applied beyond disciplines and educational contexts, and are necessarily transdisciplinary. Thus it is critical that we make available our principles beliefs and values now more than ever, to instantiate critical pedagogy across and beyond disciplines, as we strive to leave the world a better place than we find it for our future and the futures of our students. The singular, most effective way to do this is, of course, through education.

Transdisciplinary Higher Education and Work-Based Learning by
This book is not just about thinking or acting in transdisciplinary ways, but about being transdisciplinary. To achieve this requires a deconstruction of our current way of acting within the definition of being that others impose upon us. Transdisciplinarity is a phenomenological perspective of reality and its manifestation in the world in which we exist. The volume develops a widely based transdisciplinary understanding of the issues faced by higher education institutions and those who work within and with these institutions to educate professionals. It incorporates international contributions from organisational theory, anthropologists, historians, psychologists, social sciences, philosophers and practitioners to create a volume that makes an important and distinct contribution to the literature on higher education and professional practice. "Transdisciplinarity provides one of our greatest challenges in higher education, both to the way it is organized and to the nature of the curriculum. This book is an important contribution to the debate about its implications." "Higher education is being challenged by the nature of knowledge and how it is organized--the world is transdisciplinary but out institutions are constrained by the disciplines. This book contributes to the important debates about the challenges transdisciplinarity provides to our institutions." Professor David Boud Emeritus Professor, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Technology, Sydney
