Part one describes the theories of learning; its definitions and its implications on adult learning and teaching. Part two focuses on the global trends of adults' participation in learning.
The audience of the book are educators who involved in adult teaching and learning at secondary and post-secondary settings. Unlike traditional chapter books, this study guide challenges the reader by providing exercises and tasks.
