• W2289633924 abstract "This study explores the experience of mature students in a Further Education collegein Ireland. It looks at the development of the further education sector and its currentrole in Irish education. Further education is a major provider of education for adults asmore than half the students in further education are now mature students. The systemgrew largely within the Vocational Education system and, it is suggested, has adoptedmany of the neo-liberal ideas and practices prevalent in society more generally.The first research element was a survey and focus group, followed by nine qualitativeinterviews which explored with the students their reasons for returning to education,their experience while in further education and what they consider to be the benefits ofparticipation. Using a constructivist grounded theory approach the data weregenerated and analysed through a systematic process of coding, categorisation and thedevelopment of core concepts grounded in the students’ lived experience. Threesignificant concepts emerged from the analysis. The first concept of ‘The latent self’describes the range of social, personal, structural and biographical influences anddiscusses how they interact and impact on the decision to return to education. Thesecond concept, ‘The Emerging Self’ describes the negotiation of challenges faced bythe students in the process of change. The third concept, ‘The Revised Self’, describesthe changed self emphatically described by the students as resulting from theirparticipation and characterised by greatly enhanced confidence and agency.The conceptual label ‘Finding a voice’ was used to describe this ‘Revised Self’ asmany of the participants spoke in terms of feeling able to speak and having things tosay. It encompasses willingness and a sense of entitlement to participate and engagewith others and a sense of having something to contribute.The findings demonstrate that further education is a site of significant learning foradults. Although the purpose of the further education sector is to provide students withthe skills needed in the workplace and many students came for vocational reasons, theactual learning went beyond the instrumental and resulted in many surprising benefitsto the students and to society more generally." @default.
