Post-Secondary Education Development in South East Asia: A Model for Curriculum Development in Continuing Education
Overview & Synopsis
This article presents a model for continuing education that emanated from the author's involvement in the Participatory Action Research (PAR) component of Simon Fraser University's Adult Education for Economic Development (AEED) Project, funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). The project's goal was to develop new centers for continuing education at the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP) in Cambodia and the National University of Laos (NUOL) in Lao People's Democratic Republic, with assistance and mentorship from the Centre for Continuing Education at Chulalongkorn University (Chula) in Thailand. This article includes a discussion and illustration of continuing education based on four dimensions: lifelong learning, outreach, applied and integrated studies, and informal learning environments. The PAR is discussed in terms of how the partnerships emerged in the project, together with a systemic, ecological analysis of continuing education.
