Features: Since the publication of this book in 1985, some major political events have occurred in the world. The development in Europe seems to indicate the end of the arms race, and a new era of international cooperation is on the horizon. However, on the other hand, we still face many serious challenges in protecting the environment, controlling population growth, and alleviating the extreme poverty of people in many parts of the world. These issues are not just political problems; they also pose severe challenges to education. Academic exchange is a crucial driving force for the development and prosperity of academia. Since the reform and opening-up, we have successively translated and introduced a batch of foreign educational theory works, which has played a very positive role in promoting the development of educational research in our country and improving the level of educational research. This book consists of eight chapters, covering various aspects such as the basic concepts of lifelong education and lifelong learning, educational systems, methods of activity, learning institutions, teaching methods, trends of change, and evaluation work.
