Learning in Adulthood

Résumé du livre

Bringing together the seminal works of Malcolm Knowles, K. Patricia Cross, J. Roby Kidd, and others--as well as the most recent adult learning theories and research--this book provides a comprehensive overview of all that is known about adult learning. Readible, thorough and up-to-date in its coverage, the volume not only reviews the tenants of adult learning itself, but also examines learning in the context in which it takes place and of what participants learn and why. It also explores the nature of the learning process itself as well as issues relevant to the practice of adult learning.
