Pedagogical Love in Adult Education, Gebunden

Klappentext

This volume explores the concept of pedagogical love, highlighting its role as a transformative force across diverse educational contexts, historical developments, and its integration into educational systems. It provides both theoretical insights and methodological approaches to pedagogical love. The book opens with foundational chapters introducing the concept and progresses to situating it within frameworks such as decolonisation and critical pedagogy. It further examines its potential in teacher education, addressing specific pedagogical domains such as second language acquisition and literacy, as well as cultural contexts spanning Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Moreover, the book investigates the implications of pedagogical love in current transformations and digitalisation, with particular attention to fully digital environments and artificial intelligence. By offering a comprehensive overview and presenting innovative perspectives for research in adult education, this book serves as an essential resource for researchers, educators, and practitioners.
