Alternatives in education, a summary view of research and analysis on the concept of non-formal education
Sign inMICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY
The best construction we can make of the central problems involved in the study of Non-Formal Education (NFE) are: (1) the relationship between NFE and the problems of development; (2) the relationship between NFE and the masses of people in the developing countries; (3) the relationship between NFE and the learning styles of its clients; (4) the importance of NFE to the need for flexibility in education; (5) the problem of learning evaluation in the context of NFE; (6) the problem of economic planning and evaluation in relationship to NFE; (7) the relationship between NFE and formal education; and (8) the function of rewards and reward systems in NFE.
