Meer over het boek

This research focuses on the lifelong biographical experiences of individuals in China and Germany, employing biographical methods to analyze interview content for specific themes. Over 20 interviewees from each country, representing diverse social and educational backgrounds, were selected. The interviews explored their life processes, particularly their learning experiences and emotions. Some narratives are more representative, reflecting various learning and thinking styles influenced by educational factors. From these interviews, six narratives from each country were chosen for comparative analysis. Each narrative exemplifies a distinct learning perspective associated with specific social groups. Utilizing grounded theory, the research also examines historical, cultural, legal, educational, political, and social contexts for each interview. The findings provide new insights into how schools influence learning motivations, behaviors, activities, and the lifelong learning journey.
