The Adult Learner The Definitive Classic in Adult Education and Human Resource Development
How can education be tailored to meet the learning needs of adults? Do adults learn differently from children? How do their life experiences shape their learning processes? These questions lie at the core of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy, which transformed educational theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, and problem-centered approach to learning have been highly influential and continue to form the foundation of contemporary learning practices. Understanding these principles is essential for increasing motivation and helping adult learners succeed.
The 10th edition of The Adult Learner has been updated to include significantly expanded chapters on diversity, inclusion, and belonging in adult learning, as well as andragogy and the online adult learner, reflecting the importance of these topics in the field today. The accompanying Instructor and Student Resources website offers free digital materials designed to enhance student learning and streamline lesson preparation for instructors. Available resources include:
– Ready-to-use PowerPoint slides to save instructors time when planning lessons.
– Learning objectives and outlines for structured learning.
– Suggested class discussions, exercises, and scenario-based activities.
– Downloadable instruments for chapters 19 to 22.
– A video explaining the Andragogy In Practice model.
– A chapter-by-chapter Instructor Manual and a corresponding Student Guide to enhance learning outcomes.
If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education; an adult learning practitioner; a training manager; or involved in human resource development, this definitive book on adult learning should be an essential part of your library.
