This is one of three volumes prepared for the Open University Master of Arts (MA) course 'Supporting lifelong learning'. These three volumes provide an in-depth examination of lifelong learning from the perspectives of teaching and learning, organising learning and policy making. In this volume, some of the ideas and assumptions which underpin the notion of lifelong learning are explored and challenged, and it is argued that the 'learning' aspect of 'lifelong learning' has received surprisingly little attention in discussions of how to promote more effective and inclusive approaches. The chapters are: Learning and adult education / Alan Rogers; The interpersonal relationship in the facilitation of learning / Carl R. Rogers; From technical rationality to reflection-in-action / Donald Schon; Deconstructing domestication: women's experience and the goals of critical pedagogy / Julia Clarke; Self and experience in adult learning / Robin Usher, Ian Bryant and Rennie Johnston; Promoting reflection in professional courses: the challenge of context / David Boud and David Walker; Legitimate peripheral participation in communities of practice / Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger; Learning from other people at work / Michael Eraut, Jane Alderton, Gerald Cole and Peter Senker; Beyond the institution of apprenticeships: towards a social theory of learning as the production of knowledge / David Guile and Michael Young; The technology of learning in a social world / Terry Mayes; Sustainable literacies and the ecology of lifelong learning / Mary Hamilton; Academic writing in new and emergent discipline areas / Mike Baynham; Pedagogies for lifelong learning: building bridges or building walls / Miriam Zukas and Janice Malcolm.
