Abstract | Abstract In the present age we are experiencing profound changes in the traditional patterns and phases that used to mark the course of a human life. “Living a life” has become a more problematic and unpredictable undertaking, a laboratory for developing skills whose usefulness is uncertain. This situation represents a challenge for adult education. In this article, the author argues the case for a “biographical” approach to learning, which has the capacity to change both the individual and the context in which learning takes place. He contrasts this with conventional education, where learning takes place within a stable context. Through the biological approach, learning processes can become voyages of discovery for both learners and teachers. |
