"History is for human self-knowledge. Knowing yourself means knowing, first, what it is to be a person; secondly, knowing what it is to be the kind of person you are; and thirdly, knowing what it is to be the person you are and nobody else is. Knowing yourself means knowing what you can do; and since nobody knows what they can do until they try, the only clue to what man can do is what man has done. The value of history, then, is that it teaches us what man has done and thus what man is." R. G. CollingwoodAdult education has so long story. I think It means we are learning everyday from everything in our living environment. The history past becomes unified with our present knowledge and action for moving us toward the future. Therefore Adult education is not concerned with preparing people for life, but rather with helping us to live and learn more successfully. Also We can say Adult education works with adults to motivate and promote learning about adulthood life so that by this way Adult education also could involve work with children because In my opinion They also may become an adult.
Alexander Kapp said about education that self-reflection and educating the character are the first values in human life. For me one of the most important thing is Self reflection. In any role, whether at home or at work, reflection is an important part of learning. Because Reflecting helps us to develop our skills and review their effectiveness. It is about questioning, in a positive way, what we do and why we do that and then making a decision whether there is a better or more efficient way of doing it in the future. Also I wrote about this in my second letter to teacher.
Self-reflection allows a person to learn from his or her own mistakes and past situations. Ideally, it is a structured way to think positively and make better decisions.
Everything in your life is a reflection of a choice you have made. If you want a different result, make a different choice.Best regards,
