Ethical Matters in Adult Education: Μezirow's and Aristotle's Theory (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798892486880)

Ethical issues in adult education are critical because the field often involves diverse learners, complex contexts, and sensitive topics. The role of an adult educator is intertwined with ethical responsibilities due to the unique characteristics of adult learners and the contexts in which they learn. Ethics in adult education refers to the moral principles and professional standards that guide educators in their practices, interactions, and decisions. The subject of this particular monography aims to dive into the specific approach and its presentation, consequently focusing on the ethical part of the role of the adult educator and simultaneously highlighting aspects related to Aristotle's and Mezirow's theory on the issue of ethics. How important is it for the adult trainer not to violate the boundaries of ethical conduct and lead the trainee directly or indirectly to change attitudes or perceptions, urging him towards specific meaning formations? The discussion of the topic will end with the necessity of the role of the adult trainer in supporting his trainees without manipulating their thoughts, wants, and perceptions in an unethical way.
