Guan, Shanshan; Blair, Erik – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2021
Certain environments are 'outside of all places, even though it may be possible to indicate their location in reality' (Foucault, Diacritics 16, 22-27, 1986, p. 24). Foucault calls such places 'heterotopias' and offers six principles to help define them. Here, we propose that Chinese adult higher education is a heterotopic space. Chinese adult…

Edouard, Gusman – COABE Journal: The Resource for Adult Education, 2022
Adult students have different backgrounds, knowledge, experiences, abilities, interests, and learning needs. Hence, teaching all learners the same way is not the most effective.

Jared August – Religious Education, 2024
