Pedagogical Love in Adult Education: Systemic and Morphogenetic Perspectives

  • Elisabeth Vanderheiden

摘要

This chapter explores the transformative potential of pedagogical love in adult education through the theoretical lens of Margaret Archer’s morphogenetic approach, building upon Paulo Freire’s concept of pedagogical love. By analyzing its manifestations and development across structural, social, and agential dimensions, the study reveals how pedagogical love impacts the adult education system, positively influencing both the system and all participants in a sustainable way. The morphogenetic framework elucidates this approach by unveiling new insights and perspectives, highlighting actionable dimensions that shape educational practices for learners, educators, and planners while being influenced by institutional contexts. The findings underscore that effective implementation of pedagogical love requires a nuanced understanding of structural constraints and opportunities for agency at each level. This theoretical synthesis demonstrates pedagogical love’s capacity to catalyze systemic transformation within adult education and offers actionable insights for application across diverse organizational contexts.
