This is the first New Directions volume related to young adult learners since 1984. Then, as now, young adults are an important segment of the adult population but have received scant attention in the adult education literature. Increasingly, youths and young adults are enrolling in adult education programs and in doing so are changing the meaning of adulthood. Given the significant demographic, technological, and cultural shifts during the past 30 years, there is an increasing need for practitioners and program planners to reconsider what constitutes "adult" and "adult education." An understanding of the changing meaning of adulthood is fundamental to developing programs and policies that will address the needs of younger learners, and we believe it is time for an updated discussion among adult educators and scholars in other disciplines. This sourcebook is designed to reignite the discussion related to meeting the educational needs of young adults along with a timely and interdisciplinary discussion that highlights the transitional needs of young adult learners. Table of contents: 1. Conceptualizing Transitions to Adulthood (Johanna Wyn) This opening chapter lays the groundwork for this volume by providing an overview of adult development theories as they relate to the transition to young adulthood along with a discussion of the blurring between youth and adult due to the ambiguity encountered when trying to define adulthood. 2. Culture, Conditions, and the Transition to Adulthood (Brendaly Drayton) An individual's culture shapes both the definition of adult and the experience of the transition to adulthood. Furthermore, the transition to adulthood may serve as a time when an individual's cultural identity is more consciously defined and more personally salient. This chapter explores the intersection of culture and adulthood. 3. Vulnerable Youth and Transitions to Adulthood (Rongbing Xie, Bisakha Sen, E. Michael Foster) This chapter discusses recent research conducted that identified challenges youth in the mental health system, the foster care system, and the juvenile justice system face in their transition to adulthood due to limited support systems. 4. Young Adulthood, Transitions, and Dis/ability (Jessica Nina Lester) A discussion focusing on the social transitions to adulthood and independent living of an often forgotten population in adult education, young adults labeled with (dis)abilities. 5. Becoming an Adult in a Community of Faith (Steven B. Frye) The vitality and ongoing existence of any community of faith-- regardless of the specific religious tradition--depends on incorporating the "next generation" as full participants. This chapter focuses on how the transition to adulthood is transacted within various religious traditions and the extent to which that transition is a place where non-formal learning takes place. 6. Youths Transitioning as Adult Learners (C. Amelia Davis) This chapter conceptualizes transitions with a focus on Adult Basic Education/GED students as they transition from high school to adult education. 7. Transitions From Formal Education to the Workplace (Joann S. Olson) This chapter frames the transition to adulthood in the context of the moving from formal educational settings (e.g., high school, postsecondary education) to the often less-structured learning that occurs in workplace settings. 8. Themes and Issues in Programming for Young Adults (Joann S. Olson, C. Amelia Davis) In this final chapter, recurring themes from the preceding chapters are identified and discussed as they pertain to program planning and instructional practice.

The breakneck speed of change in today’s societies creates enormous challenges for educational institutions at all levels. This volume explores ways how to manage change in educational processes and contexts, focusing, in particular, on the concepts of transition and transformation. How do we educate a skilled workforce, sensitive professionals and responsive citizens who are able not only to cope with change but also to adopt required roles as agents of change? How do we prepare students and employees to cope adequately with changes and transitions in their careers and personal lives? The first of this book’s three sections deals with the conceptual and theoretical aspects of transition, transformational processes and human development. It defines these concepts and examines the ways in which educational theory and praxis understand concepts of change and development. The second section presents empirical studies that offer differing perspectives on educational transitions, covering the lifespan from early years education to lifelong learning. The third part of the volume focuses on issues of learning and pedagogy and argues that educational practices should change with the changing world. With numerous concrete examples included in the analysis, and with studies taking a range of forms from personal histories to large-scale surveys, this new book is a major addition to the literature in a field that has key implications for our future.

In today’s society, people and organisations increasingly undergo processes of transition. Experiences of change affect all areas of life: our jobs, relationships, status, communities, engagement in civil society, lifestyles, even understandings of our own identity. Each person must expect and make ready for transitions, engaging in learning as a fundamental strategy for handling change. This is where lifelong learning steps in. From career guidance to third age programmes, from ‘learning to learn’ in kindergarten to MBA, from Mozart for babies to gender re-assignment counselling, people face a crowded world of learning activities designed to help them through transitions. Researching Transitions in Lifelong Learning presents new research from Britain, Australia and North America. The authors include leading scholars with established international reputations - such as Kathryn Ecclestone, Sue Webb, Gert Biesta, W. Norton Grubb, Nicky Solomon and David Boud - as well as emerging researchers with fresh and sometimes challenging perspectives. While emphasising the complexity and variety of people’s experiences of learning transitions, as well as acknowledging the ways in which they are embedded in the specific contexts of everyday life, the authors share a common interest in understanding the lived experiences of change from the learner’s perspective. This volume therefore provides an opportunity to take stock of recent research into transitions, seen in the context of lifelong learning, and outlines important messages for future policy and practice. It will also appeal to researchers worldwide in education and industrial sociology, as well as students on courses in post-compulsory education.

This book presents a collection of chapters—both empirical and conceptual—that challenge existing paradigms of learning and teaching, provides examples of pedagogical spaces and practices that nurture future-oriented learners, explicates identities and transitions in learning, and offers alternative frames for moving forward. Educational structures have proven remarkably resilient. More often than not, pedagogical designs still privilege the lecture-tutorial format, front-end loading and the positioning of the ‘teacher’ as expert. In a similar vein, pedagogical spaces tend to privilege the formal educational institution and its discourses, rather than productively engage with naturally-occurring learning spaces at work and in communities. To better prepare and support learners for dynamically changing futures, we need to truly flip the lens from teaching to learning, positioning at the core, the learner in contexts where learning and becoming occurs. This means considering what counts as a future-oriented learner and educator, recognising the importance of evolving identities, transitions and pathways that facilitates the processes of being and becoming. Equally important is the design and appropriation of pedagogical spaces and practices that are in themselves dynamic and future-oriented. This book questions the current delineation between the spaces of work, learning and communities.
