ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to understand the concept of public pedagogy and explore its implications for lifelong education. According to reviewing the literature, public pedagogy refers to education and learning occurring beyond formal schooling practice. Public pedagogy focuses on popular culture as a site of ideological struggles. It can also be conceptualized as educational intervention enacted in the interest of the public quality of spaces and places and the quality of human togetherness. The concept of public pedagogy provides some significant implications for lifelong education research and practice. Public pedagogy suggests that lifelong education should focus on individuals’ lives to explore the meaning of learning. Public pedagogy expands the scope of learning from cognitive, rational ways of learning toward non-cognitive, extra-rational ways of learning. The understanding of lifelong learning should consider the transaction between the situations of learners and the social context in which education and learning happen. Finally, lifelong educators should facilitate learning by keeping in mind the influences of learners’ cultural context.
