METAGOGY: Towards a contemporary adult education praxis

Abstract

Blended Shore Education (BSE), emerged from an international action research project (Strohschen, 2009). BSE originally provided principles for blending practices that interdependently guide teacher and student to implement contextually appropriate education programswithin a ‘culturally reflexive consciousness’ (Gergen in Strohschen, 2009, p. x). This chapter presents the Metagogy Theorem in which the research that had resulted in the BSE concept was expanded with a further action research project.We suggest that the emergingMetagogy Theorem offers an essential framework for developing and implementing education programs across cultures, ideologies, nations, content and time.
