THEORETICAL ORIENTATION IN RACE, CLASS AND GENDER IN ADULT LEARNING
Write a paper that addresses theoretical orientation in race, class and gender in adult learning.
State specific examples of theoretical orientation and describe how each one affects adult education. In a 3-5 page paper, focus on examining how practice can make apparent differences in how educational institutions can deal with issues surrounding these theoretical orientations.
Reflect on the following questions in relationship to your own thinking about adult education practice as it relates to theoretical orientation:
1. What is the purpose of education?
2. What is the role of the adult educator?
3. What is the role of students or adult learners in the classroom?
4. What is your conceptualization of differences among adult learners?
