Abstract
The main aim of the paper is to reconstruct the family discourse in adult education in Poland in the context of gender research perspective. In reference to the latest literature, both international and Polish, the author analyzes a family as a place of adult learning and family learning/informal learning of adults as a process; reconstructs the examples of family research in adult education, as well as gender approach in adult education, gendered learning of adults, and examples of gender sensitive research in Polish family discourse in adult education. At the end the author presents a case of own biographical research on partnership in marital relations in dual-career families as an example of using gender filter in researching family life of adults. Concluding, the author underlines the role of gender sensitive approach in researching tacit knowledge of informal learning of adults. .
期刊介绍:
The European journal for Research on the Education and Learning of Adults (RELA) is a refereed academic journal creating a forum for the publication of critical research on adult education and learning. It has a particular focus on issues at stake for adult education and learning in Europe, as these emerge in connection with wider international and transnational dynamics and trends. Such a forum is important at a time when local and regional explorations of issues are often difficult to foreground across language barriers. As academic and policy debate is increasingly carried out in the English language, this masks the richness of research knowledge, responses and trends from diverse traditions and foci. The journal thus attempts to be linguistically ''open access''. Whilst creating a forum for international and transnational debate, contributions are particularly welcome from authors in Europe and other locations where English is not the first language. RELA invites original, scholarly articles that discuss the education and learning of adults from different academic disciplines, perspectives and traditions. It encourages diversity in theoretical and methodological approach and submissions from non-English speakers. All published contributions in RELA are subjected to a rigorous peer review process based on two moments of selection: an initial editorial screening and a double-blind review by at least two anonymous referees. Clarity and conciseness of thought are crucial requirements for publication. RELA is published on behalf of the European Society for Research on the Education of Adults (ESREA).
