In recent years the idea of lifelong learning and the learning
society has become central to both society and to everyone involved
in education throughout the world but, as yet, no truly exhaustive
study has been made of these phenomena. This ground-breaking
distillation of Peter Jarvis' thoughts on lifelong learning will
comprehensively correct that omission.
This book, the first in a forthcoming series, concentrates on the
processes of human learning and considers the fact that research
into learning itself has hitherto been unsystematic and, for a
while, mainly psychological. In the first section of this book the
author argues that learning is existential, and so its study must
be complex and interdisciplinary. A number of the existing theories
of learning are then critically examined, in order to see how they
can be reconciled with a more complex model. Applying his expert
analytical approach to this wide-ranging topic Professor Jarvis
looks in detail at
- Learning in the social 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.
