Adult development and learning have always existed as two separate
fields of study, with development falling under psychology and
learning under education. Recent advances in theory, research, and
practice, however, have made it clear that an important reciprocal
relationship exists between them: advances in development
frequently lead to learning, and conversely, learning quite often
fuels development. The synchronicity between development and
learning is responsible for positive changes in many capacities,
including insight, intelligence, reflective and meta-cognition,
personality expression, interpersonal competence, and
self-efficacy. This synchronicity is also leading to the growth of
a new discipline at the borders of adult development and learning.
The Handbook of Adult Development and Learning is the first to
bring together the leading scholars from both adult development and
learning to explore what will form the foundation for this new
discipline--the latest research at the intersection of these
fields. It examines six major aspects of their intersection:
foundations, key areas of integration, the self system, higher
reaches of development and learning, essential contexts, and
specific applications. An introductory chapter explains why it is
so important to recognize and fuel the growth of this new
discipline. Subsequent chapters review the latest theoretical and
empirical literature and provide a rich itinerary for future
research.
This handbook is a must-read for all who promote optimal aging. It
will be an invaluable reference for scholars in development and
education, as well as rich resource for policy makers and
practitioners, such as corporate executives andhuman-resource
personnel.
