OverviewThis book is essential reading for educators, student teachers, policymakers, and anyone with an interest in critical viewpoints on adult, community, and further education. Written from an Irish vantage point, the book explores important topics that include current policy and practice trends, further education teacher/tutor identity and conditions of work, and the need for an approach to our work that responds to environmental concerns and the ongoing growth in financial inequality. The book turns the inside out and the outside in by encouraging educators to consider the dynamics and experiences of the world outside the classroom walls in the group settings that adult learners occupy in further education colleges, places of work, community education, and beyond. Critical Perspectives on Further Education and Training offers valuable insights into critical pedagogy, groupwork, curriculum, and assessment design, and reflective practice all of which enhances our practices and creates engaged, democratic learning environments. Contributors to the book bridge academic and FET realms ensuring our insights are relevant and grounded in the day-to-day work of adults, community, and further education in Ireland and beyond.

Table of ContentsReviews“This powerful book offers important contributions to critical pedagogy and issues of diversity in Further Education and Training in Ireland. It analyses the impact of the ‘great realignment’, increasing and ongoing attempts to neo-liberalize, homogenize and tame adult, community, vocational and further education by policymakers, offering a dialogic and participatory counter-vision.” —Dr. Sharon Clancy – FHEA, Assistant Professor – Educational Leadership and Management, University of Nottingham, UK. “In this vital and thought-provoking book, the consciousness-raising purposes of further and adult education are celebrated and affirmed. At times lyrical and offering powerful insights throughout, the contributors maintain a fine balance between contextual groundedness and putting theory to work. This makes for a valuable contribution to a body of international literature devoted to a largely neglected but crucial sector of education.” —Professor Rob Smith, Birmingham City University, England. “This is an important publication for anyone studying or working in the field of Further Education and Training in Ireland. It offers new and critical perspectives on current issues facing learners, practitioners and academics working in the field. It offers some thought-provoking questions to consider and shares some valuable examples from practice.” —Dr. Helen Murphy, Waterford Institute of Technology, Ireland.
