Klappentext zu „A Critical Search for the 'Self' in Adult Education “
This study investigates the 'self' of six Irish working-class women, all parenting alone and all returned to the field of adult education. Bourdieu's concepts of habitus, field and capital are the backdrop for the study of the 'self', which is viewed through his lens. This study commenced in September 2012 and concluded in August 2014, in a small urban educational setting in an Irish city. All of the women in the study are single parents, most of them did not complete second level education, and none of them had experienced adult or third level education. Their ages vary from 30 to 55 years. The study pursues the women's motivations for returning to education, the challenges they faced throughout the journey, and their experiences, views and perspectives of Adult Education. The women's life experiences inform their sense of self and their capital reserves derive from their experience of habitus. It also attempts to understand the delivery of the programmes and how it can impact the journey of the adult learners. The analysis of the interviews, observations, field notes and reflective journals demonstrate what the women have to say about their new journey in adult education.
