'This is an impressive book that will be of wide interest to adult
educators everywhere.Many of the book's contributors work at the
University of Technology, Sydney - surely the world's pre-eminent
institution for the study of adult learning, and the most open and
generous location for debate. Its virtues are the book's.' Alan
Tuckett, National Institute of Adult Continuing Education, UK 'I am
happy to endorse this book enthusiastically as being appropriate
for a North American audience of adult educators.Though it's an
intentionally introductory survey, it never talks down to readers,
never condescends. On the other hand, it's not so intenationally
erudite that it collagpses into theoretical posturing; it stays
firmly grounded in and connected to practice.' Stephen Brookfield,
University of St. Thomas, USA Understanding Adult Education and
Training offers a broad overview of the field for adult educators
and workplace trainers. It introduces the keys issues, debates and
theories in a way which is relevant to practice. Its aim is to
deepen readers' 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. Understanding Adult Education and Training
introduces a wide range of formal theory from adult education and
associated fields, and shows readers how they can use it their own
circumstances. The first edition of this book has become a standard
reference for students and professionals in Australia. This edition
is fully revised and updated for an international readership.
