Adults Educational Perspectives on Social Work aims to bring students into contact with current challenges and themes in the field of social work, and what unique perspectives adult educational scientists can contribute to these. Starting from contemporary situations of (social) injustice and disadvantage, students will work to analyse complex systems behind injustice, and design adult educationals interventions. Building on their prior agogical knowledge, new theories, insights from practice and policy, students will look for depth and nuance, explore possibilities for change and design a systemic approach.
Students are given the choice to approach this course with a view to specialisation (depth, focus on a particular theme and/or field) of their own topic. This course challenges the self-regulatory ability of students. Differentiation by interest is paramount. At the same time, a supportive environment is provided through consultation hours (e.g. supervision, peer review and coaching sessions with peers).
More information on the table of content, the required and optional study material, the study time calculation and the methods will follow during the first lesson.
