The History of Adult Education, in which is Comprised a Full ... History of the Mechanics' and Literary Institutions, Athenaeums, Etc. of Great Britain, Ireland, America, Etc by James William HUDSON Pdf
Rita and Gerald traces the history of adult learning in the UK from the mid-19th century to the present. Both a celebration and a defence of adult education, it shows how adult education has adapted to change over 200 years and why the sector is today needed more than ever. Built around the educational stories of 150 students in six premier institutions who are studying programs ranging from entry-level English to post-graduate degrees, the book combines a theoretical perspective with insight into human aspirations. We read how a British soldier moved past the horror of war-torn Bosnia through studying Creative Writing at Ruskin College; how a young woman who has cerebral palsy found a haven for learning at the Mary Ward Centre; how sisters who escaped persecution in Libya came to Camden's Working Men's College to study English and Child Care. It is essential reading for adult students, curriculum planners, policy makers, professional educators, and undergraduate and post-graduate students of history and philosophy of education, and community learning.

The Working Men's College and the Tradition of Adult Education by Tom Schuller,Richard Taylor Pdf
The Working Men’s College (WMC) is the UK’s oldest continuously running adult education institution, and a very distinctive example of the British adult education tradition. This volume brings the history of the WMC up to date, following the 1954 centenary history by JFC Harrison. Contributions from a range of professional educators explore topics such as the philosophy of the College, the issue of women’s entry, college governance and the notion of community as it applies to changes in the composition of the student body. Additional features include a chapter on the architectural history of the College; an interview with Satnam Gill as the key figure who drove through crucial change at a time when the College might have died; a chapter from the latest member of a family which has been closely involved with the College over four generations; and a range of personal contributions from tutors and students from the past six decades. This book will be of interest to historians of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, all those in UK adult education, along with local Camden/London community and political groups and the WMC’s extensive family of former students and tutors.
Social Change in the History of British Education by Joyce Goodman,Gary McCulloch,WILLIAM RICHARDSON Pdf
This work provides an overall review and analysis of the history of education and of its key research priorities in the British context. It investigates the extent to which education has contributed historically to social change in Britain, how it has itself been moulded by society, and the needs and opportunities that remain for further research in this general area. Contributors review the strengths and limitations of the historical literature on social change in British education over the past forty years, ascertain what this literature tells us about the relationship between education and social change, and map areas and themes for future historical research. They consider both formal and informal education, different levels and stages of the education system, the process and experience of education, and regional and national perspectives. They also engage with broader discussions about theory and methodology. The collection covers a large amount of historical territory, from the sixteenth century to the present, including the emergence of the learned professions, the relationship between society and the economy, the role of higher technological education, the historical experiences of Ireland, Scotland and Wales, the social significance of teaching and learning, and the importance of social class, gender, ethnicity, and disability. It involves personal biography no less than broad national and international movements in its considerations. This book will be a major contribution to research as well as a general resource in the history and historiography of education in Britain.
The History of Adult Education by James William Hudson Pdf
Excerpt from The History of Adult Education: In Which Is Comprised a Full and Complete History of the Mechanics' and Literary Institutions, Athenaeums, Philosophical, Mental and Christian Improvement Societies, Literary Unions, Schools of Design, Etc., Of Great Britain, Ireland, America, Etc., Etc Notwithstanding the gratifying reports of moral progress, which indicate the advent of an age of great intellectual improvement, we should fail in our duty, did we not point out the corrective and portentous signs of the times, with reference to the early literary associations. Those Institutions which have adhered to the views of the last half century, are exhausting their capital, and are decaying, the Philosophical Societies are imbecile, and the Mechanics' Institutions which have changed their objects in straining for popularity, by concerts, and ventriloquial entertainments, are involving themselves in debt, or they are rushing (as in Lancashire) into the other extreme of becoming mere day-schools for boys, instead of intellectual seminaries for men. The Athenaeums have been paying a heavy penalty for their club and dining prin ciples, and they are wisely repressing these features, and retaining their kitchens as separate establishments, at rentals. The indications we have enumerated are evidences of a healthy reaction. If the popularity of lectures in some districts has greatly declined, the Casinos which attracted the multitude, are equally failing, and the present moment should be taken to provide the wavering folk with the means of pleasingly improving themselves.
