Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and indexes
"This book challenges the current thrust of neoliberalism and economic managerialism
by unfolding a new vision of participatory action learning and action research (PALAR)
as a philosophy, methodology, and theory of learning and the facilitation process.
The focus is on professional learning conceived as being participatory, collaborative,
holistic and transformative, particularly through critical reflection and an affective-socio-cognitive
approach. In a unique new approach, Professional Learning in Higher Education and
Communities adopts a novel integration of social science with neuroscience to explain
the processes and significance of PALAR. This provides the basis for justifying PALAR
as an effective way to collaboratively achieve positive change, sustainable development
and social justice, based on human agency and democratic values, for the common good
and thus a better world for all. This book itself is testament to the critical reflection
and affective-socio-cognitive approach that it advocates"
