A companion work to 1993's popular An Update on Adult Learning Theory, this issue provides the adult learning educator with the latest developments, significant research, and continuing scholarship in andragogy and self-directed learning. Exploring a variety of frameworks, including context-based learning, informal and incidental learning, somatic learning, and narrative learning; the authors analyze recent additions to well-established theories and discuss the potential impact of today's cutting-edge approaches. Revised models of theories introduced in the 1993 edition, such as women's learning and transformational learning, are updated with the results of burgeoning scholarship and empirical data gathered in the 1990s. Articles also introduce pioneering developments in adult learning research, including new understandings of the brain's relationship to mind and consciousness and the role of emotions, feelings, and the imagination in the learning process. As an assessment of adult learning theory today, this volume is an indispensable resource for adult learning educators committed to delivering a more effective practice in the classroom, in the workplace, or in the community.

This is the 89th volume of the quarterly journal New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education.

Interesting

This is a very brief book with some very interesting perspectives on adult learning,
This book can help one to understand how they learn and why they learn that way.
It discusses how women learn differently than men and how emotions play a role in how we learn. The theory I found most interesting was a part of Transformational Learning; The Four-Lens Approach- the first lens is "emancipatory education", next understand that knowledge is created through interpretations, third lens is to accept consensual validation and lastly you have to follow through with your vision.
It's a good read if you want to expand your mind on the adult learning theory.

Not what I was looking for.

This book was very dry, and not really what I was looking for, so maybe that is why I didn't like it very much. I wanted a book on adult learning, but this didn't have much too it for the price. Read a few pages of the book before you decide to buy.
