Abstract While belief research has become an integral part of the educational research agenda, it has been uneven. One neglected area is the beliefs of adult education teachers. Focusing on five such teachers working in adult basic education and teaching numeracy in Switzerland, this exploratory study uses different data to describe their beliefs about numeracy and its teaching. It is shown that this group holds clearly different views from other groups of adult teachers and it is argued that extending belief research to this target group using different approaches could contribute to a wider knowledge base on beliefs in general.

This paper deals with a revision of the integration of newspapers in the curriculum and their educational possibilities as a teaching-learning resource. It also shows a summary of a part of the research which deals with the basic training of adult people and the use of newspapers as a teaching-learning resource. Finally, it includes part of the research referring to the use of newspapers in the different subjects of adult basic education. En este artículo se realiza una revisión teórica sobre la integración de la prensa en el currículum atendiendo a sus posibilidades como medio de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Así mismo, se recoge de modo sintético una parte de la investigación desarrollada sobre la formación de base de las personas adultas y la utilización de la prensa como medio de enseñanza-aprendizaje, rescatando para el presente trabajo un fragmento de la dimensión referida a la integración curricular que se hace de la prensa en las materias del currículum de la educación de base de adultos.

Per Se

This is an exploratory Delphi study investigating profound learning, the profound learner, and profound living. The strength of the Delphi technique is leveraging expertise to understand an amorphous problem, such as the concept of profundity explored in this study. The authors could find no evidence of a comprehensive research agenda being conducted to understand profound learning or the profound learner. Though there may be iterations of this topic being investigated, it seems safe to say that profound learning, per se, is understudied. The purpose of this exploratory study was to develop an initial conceptual and theoretical foundation for profundity specifically related to profound learning, the profound learner, and profound living. Seven themes were identified for qualities of profundity, six themes were identified for qualities of profound learning, eight themes were identified for qualities of a profound learner, and six themes were identified for qualities of profound living. An earlier version of this paper was presented at the Adult Education Research Conference, June 2018.
