Text of Note

"Offers a broad overview of the field for adult educators and workplace trainers. It introduces the key issues, debates and theories in a way which is relevant to practice. Its aim is to deepen reader's understanding of adult learning and education so that they can be better practitioners. Adult education is a diverse field so there is no single body of knowledge which is appropriate for all adult educators. This book introduces a wide range of formal theory from adult education and associated fields, and shows readers how they can use it for their own circumstances."--BOOK COVER.
