Ethical Issues and Dilemmas Faced in Adult Education
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper on ethical issues faced in adult education. Ethical issues are of great importance in the process of adult education. Through the process of adult education, adult learners and their educators must determine what courses, learning processes and goals can be established for content and throughout this process social and moral considerations may be controversial and involve conflicting beliefs and values. Educators must identify the goals of the course in relation to the personal and professional goals of the adult learner while at the same time allowing for adult learners to either accept or reject the opportunities made available to them through education. Sometimes, educators may be upset or may disagree with the goals adult learners have set for themselves but they must also allow for the fact that adult learners differ from students who are children in that they already have established goals, lifestyles, beliefs and values which they may not care to change through the course of education.

Federal Definition of Learning Disabilities: Included and Excluded Characteristics
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the federal definition of learning disabilities, the characteristics and the exclusions. While the federal definition of learning disabilities has allowed for the labeling of children with learning disabilities to obtain services and support in the educational system, the definition also allows for the exclusion of some children who need services and who many believe are learning disabled because of their disorders. Several characteristics of the definition rely on performance discrepancies based on aptitude-achievement testing which vary from state to state. In addition, several disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and several emotional and behavioral disorders are excluded but educators and researchers believe impair academic performance. In other instances, many children who would be state labeled as mentally retarded are often labeled by the school boards as learning disabled because of reluctance to label children as mentally retarded based on controversial definitions.
