Andragogy - adopting a dominant view
From 1981-1988 my work explored the application
of andragogy, the then dominant view of adult learning and
teaching in North America. As with most of the work on andragogy,
my work during that time was uncritical as I embraced the
dominant views of adult education. In the latter part of this
period, and reaching into the ‘90’s I began to
question the assumption of universality that runs through
the andragogical discourse.
A sample of my work related to andragogy includes:
