About this product

Product Information

Learning in Adulthood "For this third edition of Learning in Adulthood we have paid particular attention to work published since the last edition of the book. This third edition of Learning in Adulthood builds on material in the 1999 edition, bringing together the important contributions of the past decade to our understanding of adult learning. While we have preserved important foundational material (such as a discussion of andragogy), we have also brought to bear the most recent thinking and research. We have strived to put together a comprehensive overview and synthesis of what we know about adult learning: the context in which it takes place, who the participants are, what they learn and why, the nature of the learning process itself, new approaches to adult learning, the development of theory in adult learning, and other issues relevant to understanding adult learning." From the Preface Previous praise for Learning in Adulthood "An essential volume in adult education." Choice "This book is extremely useful in that it provides an informed overview of issues related to adult learning. It is very readable, yet packs considerable challenge for the more experienced adult educator." Canadian Journal of University Continuing Education " Learning in Adulthood 's greatest strengths are its coverage of the learning context, theory-building within adult learning, and how social and ethical issues offer special challenges to adult learning. It will be useful to both experienced and novice continuing educators, as well as laypersons." Continuing Higher Education Review

A great book to own when working with adlt population
I bought this book for a grad class I'm taken. The book is very easy to follow from chapter to chapter which makes it helpful and more interesting to further read it and understand it. I would recommend this book to anyone working in the Adult Education field to keep it for guidance/reference to how we learn into adulthood.
