Proposed deletion of Lifewide education

The article Lifewide education has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable neologism. "Lifewide" appears to be a term coined by Norman J Jackson in the book that serves as the single reference for this article, which appears to have been written by the reference's author.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Objection to deletion

Lifewide learning is a concept within the lifelong learning paradigm. It emerged in a report (NAES 2000) by the Swedish National Agency for Education.

The lifelong dimension represents what the individual learns throughout the whole life-span. Knowledge rapidly becomes obsolete and it is necessary for the individual to update knowledge and competence in a continuous process of learning. Education cannot be limited to the time spent in school, the individual must have a real opportunity to learn throughout life. The lifelong dimension is non-problematic, what is essential is that the individual learns throughout life. The lifewide dimension refers to the fact that learning takes place in a variety of different environments and situations, and is not only confined to the formal educational system.Lifewide learning covers formal, non-formal and informal learning. (NAES 2000:18)

The idea quickly spread through the policy community and became incorporated into the thinking of economists concerned with measuring value in lifelong learning. A presentation entitled ‘Measuring the Impact of the New Economy in Education Sector Outputs’ dated 2002 on the UK Government Statistics Office website makes reference to measuring lifewide learning. Richard Desjardins (2004), building on the work of Tuijnman (2003, cited by Desjardins 2004), utilised the idea of lifewide learning in his conceptual framework for the economic evaluation of lifelong learning and these ways of thinking were incorporated into a number of reports by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development for example (OECD 2007:10)

Learning does not occur just in school – it is both lifewide (i.e. it occurs in multiple contexts, such as work, at home and in our social lives) and ‘lifelong’ (from cradle to grave). These different types of learning affect each other in a wide variety of ways. Their impact in terms of the outcomes of learning is equally complex – whether it is in the economic and social spheres, the individual and collective, the monetary and the non-monetary. Further complicating the picture are substantial gaps in our knowledge base on a number of issues, including the following: • The cumulative and interactive impacts of lifewide and lifelong learning • The potential impacts of informal learning, later interventions in adulthood or even different types of formal education • And the impacts of different curricula (general, academic, vocational) and impacts of different learning at different stages.

More recently an EU Foresight Report 'The Future of Learning: Preparing for Change. (European Commission 2011) incorporated the concept of lifewide into its central learning paradigm.'

Extract from Executive Summary The future of learning : The overall vision is that personalisation, collaboration and informalisation (informal learning) will be at the core of learning in the future. These terms are not new in education and training but they will become the central guiding principle for organising learning and teaching. The central learning paradigm is thus characterised by lifelong and lifewide learning and shaped by the ubiquity of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). At the same time, due to fast advances in technology and structural changes to European labour markets related to demographic change, globalisation and immigration, generic and transversal skills are becoming more important. These skills should help citizens to become lifelong learners who flexibly respond to change, are able to pro-actively develop their competences and thrive in collaborative learning and working environments.

At a more practical level the Hong Kong primary and secodary school system is founded on a concept of lifewide learning and there is an article in wikipedia explaining this.

Recent posting on Hong Kong Curriculum Reform Recent curriculum reforms in Hong Kong highly value the lifewide learning experiences of primary and secondary school students. Lifewide learning encompasses a wide range of activities, including curriculum extension activities, community service, and other work-related experience. Opportunities are offered to extend and enrich students' experience, which enhances whole-person development, and inculcates ideals of lifelong learning. At present, the majority of schools in Hong Kong implement life-wide learning for their students through extra-curricular or co-curricular activities. It is widely accepted that activity-oriented learning, both within and beyond the classroom, complements students' experiential learning.

Issues of activity-based learning have been of prime concern to educators in achieving school effectiveness and student learning. Nevertheless, the question of whether schools can devise school-specific programmes which maximize the potential of their students remains. Their implementation, in an efficient and effective manner, is also an issue. It is a matter of fact that a multitude of student activities diligently provided for students, does not necessarily guarantee well-rounded personal and intellectual development. If students are to benefit from the ongoing curriculum reforms, their quest for knowledge and well-being must be guided by teachers who have not only practical experience of leading student activities but are also armed with well-grounded professional knowledge. Only then, will students' enthusiasm for learning flourish.

Moreover, with the present curriculum reform, a large number of practising primary and secondary school teachers, especially those from schools with low-achieving students, are beginning to recognize the importance of the link between lifewide learning and classroom performance. Many wish to increase their own experience in order to build up their students' classroom learning capacity. There is, therefore, a strong demand for advanced professional training commensurate with their needs.

The concept of lifewide is both an established concept in educational, economic and social policy literature and a concept that is being applied in educational contexts in the UK and other north European countries, Australia and the far east. It is a concept that is currently undergoing further conceptual development and it is a concept that is worthy of inclusion in wikipedia.
