AB  - The revised and expanded third edition of Learning in adulthood reflects the latest research and practice in adult learning. In this updated book, the authors have gathered the seminal work and most current thinking on adult learning into one volume. Learning in adulthood addresses a wide range of topics including: Who are adult learners? How do adults learn? Why are adults involved in learning activities? How does the social context shape the learning that adults are engaged in? How does aging affect learning ability? Drawing from a background of work in sociology, philosophy, and critical social theory as well as psychology and education, the authors construct an inclusive perspective on adult learning, guiding readers toward new ways of thinking about teaching, learning, and the broader social implications of adult education.
