The fourth edition of Psychology and Adult Learning has been
thoroughly updated to encompass shifts in the concerns of adult
educators as they respond to changing global social and economic
issues. It examines the role of psychology in informing adult
education practice and explores the seminal traditions of key
psychological theories as well as discussing issues and problems in
applying them to an understanding of adult learning and
development. Providing a thoughtful and accessible approach to
understanding self and personal change in adult education, and with
a new emphasis on diversity, this new edition has been revised and
updated in light of the impact of globalising processes, the
emphasis on diversity among educators, developments in cognitive
neuroscience, the impact of social media, and the theoretical move
away from 'grand theory'. It examines the formation of identities,
and places increased emphasis on how a conception of selfhood lies
at the heart of teaching adults. Considering adult learning in a
variety of contexts, topics covered include: * Humanistic
psychology * Selfhood in the adult years * The relevance of
neuroscience * Adult intelligence and cognition * Behaviourism *
Group learning * Transformative learning Psychology and Adult
Learning examines the psychological dimension of adult education
work by analysing and critiquing key psychological theories that
have informed our understanding. It is essential reading for all
those who seek a critical account of how psychology informs
contemporary adult education theory and practice.
