Your core concepts paper should discuss your ideas, supported by relevant literature, around the following questions:
a. What does “adult education” mean to you?
b. What pedagogies, approaches, methods, and philosophies in teaching and learning in adult
contexts resonate with you and why?
c. How does your social identity, including positions and intersection/s, inform your emerging
practice in the adult education field?
d. How do you understand your own past and present experiences of adult education as a
learner, practitioner, and/or emerging scholar?
e. How do you understand the value, challenges, and potential of adult education in the lives
of other people in your community and elsewhere?
f. How are you starting to think about applying the connections we’re making in this class so
far in terms of your future work as an adult learner, a practitioner in adult education contexts, and/or as an emerging scholar?
