The Great Knowledge Revolutions…
About Values and Context
Redistribute the control of knowledge!
✤ 1500 AD, Martin Luther - Translation of the Bible into
peoples language empowering them to teach
themselves truth. The power of the printing press.!
✤ 21 Century, Internet - Peoples empowerment to
bypass all institutional learning with a global, public
and collaborative collective.

01
It’s about
Empowerment
Who has the power.!
In Adult Learning the student take
ownership and we provide the tools.!
They will find their purpose and our job is
to help them.!
The educator and mentor are the servant.!

01
John Dewey
(1859 - 1952)
✤ Student is not an empty slate!
✤ Freedom of intelligence!
✤ The right experience!
✤ Teachers must change from
Authoritarian!
✤ Association Adult Learning!
✤ Key reading: Dewey, J. (1938)
Experience and Education,New York:
Collier Books. (Collier edition first
published 1963)

01
Eduard C. Lindeman
1885 -1953
✤ Lindeman, E. C. (1925). “The
meaning of adult education.“
New York: New Republic!
✤ Student driven!
✤ Concern for social justice!
✤ Experience verse subject!
✤ Industrial vs. Personal!
✤ Trade Vs. Life
http://www.halloffame.outreach.ou.edu/2002/lindeman.html
“Adult education is a co-operative venture in
non-authoritarian, informal learning the chief
purpose of which is to discover the meaning of
experience; a quest of the mind which digs
down to the roots of the preconceptions which
formulate our conduct; a technique of learning
for adults which makes education coterminous
with life, and hence elevates living itself to the
level of an experiment.”!
What is Adult Education? (1925)

Malcolm Knowles
Andragogy (1984)
1. Self-concept: As a person matures his self concept
moves from one of being a dependent personality
toward one of being a self-directed human being
2. Experience: As a person matures he accumulates a
growing reservoir of experience that becomes an
increasing resource for learning.
3. Readiness to learn. As a person matures his
readiness to learn becomes oriented increasingly to
the developmental tasks of his social roles.
4. Orientation to learning. As a person matures his
time perspective changes from one of postponed
application of knowledge to immediacy of
application, and accordingly his orientation toward
learning shifts from one of subject-centeredness to
one of problem centredness.
5. Motivation to learn: As a person matures the
motivation to learn is internal (Knowles 1984:12).

Government Version of Learning
Common Core in a Uncommon World
Walt Disney's Surprise Package (1944).
“Might Highty Tidy” By Dick Huemer and Joe Grant
In front of the jail, the Highty-Tighty
put a great machine. “Now,” he said,
“begins the fun. We'll take these folk
and stretch them a little here,
squeeze them a little there, press a bit,
flatten a bit, until their forms are just
like mine!”
!
The people shook their fists and
cried out angry shouts. But it was no
use. One after the other, the short,
the tall, the fat, the lean, were
crammed into the wide metal mouth of
the dreadful machine. One after the
other they tumbled out again,
stretched and flattened and
absolutely square!

01
Why academia
ignore values?
✤ Hard to measure emotions,
feelings and cognitive weight!
✤ Does not work with testing
methods and technology!
✤ Values are not tangible and can be
misinterpreted!
✤ Academia believes values are
linked with religion!
✤ Academia is anti religion!
✤ Not economical for text publishing

What kind of educator are you?

01
Allan Bloom
1987
There is no real teacher who in practice does not believe
in the existence of the soul, or in a magic that acts on it
through speech.!
! •! Preface!
!
They [students] learned to doubt beliefs even before they
believed in anything.!
! •! p. 42!
!
The dreariness of the family’s spiritual landscape passes
belief. … The delicate fabric of the civilization into which
the successive generations are woven has unraveled, and
children are raised, not educated.!
! •! p. 57!
!
As it now stands, students have powerful images of
what a perfect body is and pursue it incessantly. But
deprived of literary guidance, they no longer have any
image of a perfect soul, and hence do not long to
have one. They do not even imagine that there is such a
thing.!
! •! p. 67!

higher education has failed democracy and impoverished the
