The challenge for those coaching, mentoring, supervising or
teaching adults is to design and deliver high-quality programmes
that encompass a blend of teaching and learning approaches and
strategies, that are constructed for adult learners in multiple
educational environments and that cater for the diversity of adult
learners' needs. Adult learners are complex individuals who come to
the learning process with a multitude of different experiences.
Teaching, Coaching and Mentoring Adult Learners helps practitioners
step up to this challenge by developing the skills needed to share
their expertise with adult learners and engage them in new
transformative practices. This book also forms a timely
contribution to the current period of evolution in adult education,
where extreme changes in the nature and scope of work and the
globalisation of work and life are influencing learning. The shift
in adult education addressed in this book includes: the
globalisation of the workforce and the cultural impact on adult,
tertiary and further education the relationship established between
adult educators and adult learners provision of adult education and
professional development by private and major multimedia and
corporate interests occupations boundaries between professions and
between skilled and unskilled work assessing adult learners' needs
and adapting strategies to meet the perceived needs of adult
learners in medicine, education, psychology and industry designing
learning experiences to maximise the processing of complex
conceptual knowledge and then transforming the knowledge to fit new
learning environments the role of new technologies of learning in
adult and vocational learning. This book provides research-based
insight into the expectations and the value of the coach, mentor,
tutor and supervisor roles and combines research with strategic
guidance to support the implementation of innovative techniques
through case studies, strategies and methodologies in teaching and
learning in higher education and professional learning. Bringing
together insights from an expert range of international
contributors, this text will be invaluable to higher education
professionals and those involved in supervising, coaching and
mentoring in the workforce.
