Comme nous le verrons dans ce numéro 59 de la revue Savoirs portant sur l'interculturalité en formation, il ne s'agira pas tant de caractériser un ensemble composite commun à différentes cultures, mais de signifier le souci d'une personne ou d'un groupe de s'ouvrir à une autre culture, ainsi qu'à celles et ceux qui l'incarnent, pour en comprendre les traditions et les valeurs, en vue d'instaurer des convergences. La Note de synthèse proposée par J. Mbiatong s'intéresse au développement polymorphe de l'interculturalité, notamment dans les champs du management humain au sein des organisations internationales, des métiers de l'intervention sociale ou médico-sociale et de la formation. La question est également traitée sur le plan historique depuis l'après-Seconde Guerre mondiale jusqu'à nos jours, afin de mieux saisir la compétence interculturelle au sein d'un environnement mondialisé.

ADULT LEARNING, LEARNER MOTIVATION AND ENGAGEMENT addresses the topic of adult learning, which is critical to understanding the design of formal L&D activities. The ebook begins with a discussion of the concept of learning outcomes and then reviews different categorisations of learning outcomes, going on to provide a short overview of the evolution of adult learning theory. Reference is made to different categories of learning theory and their implications for the design of formal L&D activities. The authors also introduce the concepts of learning styles and multiple intelligences and explain different theories related to learning style. The ebook then discusses the concepts of training motivation and engagement and highlights misconceptions about adult learning. It concludes with a discussion of the implications of adult learning theory for the design of L&D.

The definitive textbook for reflective professionals in further, adult and vocational education. Now updated with the latest research, the book offers extensive support for trainee and practising teachers in a variety of settings, for both practice-based training and career-long professionalism. Written by a collaborative author team of sector experts led by Maggie Gregson and Sam Duncan, Reflective Teaching in Further, Adult and Vocational Education offers two levels of support: - practical guidance for practitioner success, with a focus on the key issues including planning and assessing learning and collaborative approaches to reflective practice - evidence-informed'principles'to aid understanding of how theories can effectively inform and develop teaching practices In addition to new case studies from a wider range of settings than ever before, the new edition offers broader national and international coverage, greater emphasis on work-based learning, and more ideas for exploring classroom communication and meeting a wider range of learner needs.Readings for Reflective Teaching in Further, Adult and Vocational Education directly compliments this book, providing access to key texts, working as a compact and portable library. reflectiveteaching.co.uk provides a treasure trove of additional support, including supplementary sector-specific material for considering questions around society's educational aims.

This book is a selection of 15 papers developed by participants in ICME 13 held in Hamburg, presenting insights from the latest research on the andragogy of adult and lifelong learning of mathematics. It also investigates open questions, such as numeracy and mathematics skills, social and psychological influences on learning environments, as well as economic and political demands. The chapters offer examples, while at the same time highlighting important directions for further research. The book is divided into four parts: The first section provides an overview on the concept of “numeracy”, and the second focuses on adult students who are learning mathematics; the third part presents a teachers'focus and the final part covers overarching themes. The book is of interest to classroom teachers, university teacher educators, and professional development providers.

La construction de l'interface d'enseignement de l'adulte apprenant repose sur la mise en oeuvre d'une andragogie évolutive. L'andragogie est, sous une forme synthétique, la formation pour adultes. Elle recherche l'autonomie professionnelle des adultes et apporte aux participants des enseignements immédiatement exploitables. Destiné aux étudiants en sciences de l'éducation, aux formateurs, aux chercheurs en sciences humaines ainsi qu'aux acteurs éducatifs, cet ouvrage invite tout intervenant à prendre conscience des outils et des pistes à sa disposition afin de produire des séances attrayantes pour les apprenants.

How can we prepare practicing and aspiring education leaders for the complex, adaptive challenges they face? In Helping Educators Grow, Eleanor Drago-Severson presents a new approach to leadership development.Too often, she argues, we teach leadership development the same way we teach world history: just the facts. Instead, we need to create professional learning environments that invite educational leaders to experience the conditions that support adult growth, even as they are learning about them.The book takes as its starting point the premise that adult development is leadership development—that is, the task of school leaders is to develop the capacities of adults as well as students. Drawing on the principles of constructive-developmental theory, Drago-Severson offers a framework for conceptualizing growth based on the core elements of care, respect, trust, collaboration, and intentionality. Richly informed by examples of effective, developmentally oriented learning experiences for aspiring and practicing leaders, the book includes application exercises and reflective questions to help readers engage with the ideas presented.Widely respected for her groundbreaking work in adult development, leadership, and capacity building in learning communities, Drago-Severson provides the tools and concepts to make any professional learning initiative a developmental opportunity for individuals and groups in a variety of contexts: university-based seminars, professional development workshops, professional learning communities, or peer-to-peer networks.

Cet ouvrage rassemble un ensemble de textes consacrés notamment à une démarche de'biographie éducative', inscrite dans le courant des histoires de vie. Après un chapitre consacré à la phase initiale d'émergence du biographique, ces travaux conduisent à une série d'interrogations théoriques et épistémologiques. Dans un contexte d'instabilité de l'emploi et de pertes de références, la construction biographique est présentée comme un vecteur central de formation.

At a time when the importance of lifelong education is becoming recognised around the world, this is the first book to explore an important but hitherto neglected area: adult mathematics education. This book is about adults learning mathematics wherever and in whatever circumstances they do so. It brings together researchers in the field and aims to lay the foundations for study and further research and practice in this fast-developing area. It aims to situate research and practice in adults learning mathematics within the wider field of lifelong learning and lifelong education and to be accessible both to the specialist and to the general adult reader. The book features a comprehensive review of the field which sets the scene for sections on: Perspectives on Research on Adults Learning Mathematics; Adults, Mathematics, Culture, and Society; Adults, Mathematics, and Work; and Perspectives in Teaching Adults Mathematics. Topics covered include: mathematics and common sense; statistical literacy and numeracy; new theories on learning mathematics; mathematical competences for the workplace; ethnomathematics; and the training of tutors.
