Product Description

Product Description
Informal Learning in Youth Work offers fresh perspectives on all aspects of informal education in the youth work setting. Designed to develop the reader's knowledge and skills, this comprehensive textbook explores key issues such as communication, power relations, ethics, gender exclusion, sexuality, race discrimination and social class. The author places particular emphasis on conversation as a key means of promoting informal learning and engaging effectively with young people.

Other key features include:

" case studies that illustrate the application of theory to `real-life' practice

" an emphasis on critical reflection, including reflective questions

" an easily accessible style, with key terms and tips for further reading

" a four-part structure guiding the reader through different stages of conversations and relationships in informal education.

Informal Learning in Youth Work provides a unique combination of theoretical analysis and practice tips. Satisfying training and course requirements in the area, it will be essential reading for all students on youth and community work courses, as well as those in allied fields such as education and social work. It will also be a valuable reference for practitioners working with young people on a daily basis.

3.0 out of 5 stars Relies on previous knowledge, 14 May 2009
This book was on my reading list for college. I have to say I haven't finished it yet! I took the author's advice and tried to read the later chapters first. However, I found it quite complicated. Then I switched to reading Informal Education by Tony Jeffs and Mark K Smith and things began to fall into place. The bullet point summaries at the start of the chapter at very helpful when you just want to review the last chapter you read. I would recommend the book as it gives you a lot to think about. However, maybe not as the first book you read on informal education.
