GREEN 19 Reading the sixth edition of "The Adult Learner" reminds us why the book justifiably carries the subtitle "The Definitive Classic in Adult Education and Human Resource Development"--and why a seventh edition is also available. It's thoughtful. It's thorough. It's engaging. It acknowledges its limitations. It surveys a variety of other seminal learning texts produced over a period of several decades and leaves us with nearly 40 pages of additional resources to explore. And, most importantly, it reminds us of how consistently we have identified and sought solutions to the challenges learners of all ages face and also reminds us how far we still have to go in effectively responding to those challenges. It offers an approach to learning that is compatible with what others, including Eduard Lindeman, Carl Rogers, and Robert Gagné, have written in their own classic works on learning. It's an approach that appeals to us at a personal level and that can easily be recognized in our own experiences and drive to remain immersed in learning. And it supports a wonderfully inspiring philosophy expressed by Canadian psychologist Sidney Journard in 1972 and included in "The Adult Learner": "Learning is not a task or problem; it is a way to be in the world" (p. 15)--words that might help all of us be more effective in our efforts to facilitate training-teaching-learning that produces positive results. The fifth edition is the best survey of the current state of adult learning on the market today. It updates Knowles’s original with current research. As I flip through the pages, I am struck at the number of marginal notes I took and sections I highlighted when I read this book in 2002. As an instructional designer, I keep it on my bookshelf at work, where it makes a handy reference when I need to explain just about anything to management. Although the book is for an academic audience and thoroughly documented, the text is very accessible. Not everyone is cut out to be a professional accountant. But thanks to Accounting For Dummies, 2nd Edition you can get a handle on the financial aspects of your business, investments, or taxes. Accounting professor and author John A. Tracy sheds light on the mysteries of Generating income statements and balance sheets Establishing budgets, controlling profit and cash flow, stemming losses, and managing inventory Evaluating profit margins – and identifying ways to increase them Making financial decisions that keep investors, creditors, and managers satisfied Reading financial reports Surviving an audit and using the results to improve your accounting system Putting the latest computer technology to work to help you manage the bottom line aucune critique | ajouter une critique
How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles' pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.
