Habermas has attracted considerable attention from educators for the past thirty years. Wherein lies the attraction? What dimensions of his work resonate with your way of seeing contemporary life?
Habermas has attracted the attention of many educators for the past thirty years, in that adult educators were allowed to view workers education as an ideal way or process in which an adult workers becomes knowledgeable of the distinctive way the situation of work enables or impedes mankind development and learning. This Haberamas indicates includes acquiring the ability to freely participate in the communication process , which is included in the enterprise and learning executive technical skill job task. It is believed that Habermas learning domains have opened up the questionable closed lines of questioning to those educator s who wish to go further along with corporate agenda s for the training of workers. This depend on if the educators are willing to accept the restricted ways in which competence is defined.
The dimension of Habermas work, which resonate with my way of contemporary life is that communication action allows the idea of human communication of the validity claims, and that a special speech situation brings about a presupposed time when we used language. According to Welton (1993), Habermas indicates that "when one person does make the claims implicitly and sometimes explicitly : (1) What is indicated is comprehensible, that is , it obeys certain rules of language so that there is a meaning that he understood by other, (2) The propositional content (the factual assertions) of whatever is said is true. (3) The speaker is justified in saying whatever is said. In other words, when we used speech in any given context, we invoke certain social rights or "norm." And (4) the speaker is sincere in whatever is said, that is , he or she does not intend to deceive the listener"(p. 84).
