Abstract
This book reflects the changes that have occurred in adult education over the past decade. The author suggests that three changes have been particularly important: (1) 'adult education' has been largely displaced by specialist fields, vocational education and human resource development being examples; (2) the theory of and scholarship around adult education is becoming more sophisticated and international; and (3) there is a growing recognition that learning (which encompasses such concepts as formal education, informal learning, workplace learning and lifelong learning) has a central and important role in life. The book brings together a team of international experts who explore various aspects of learning. It is divided into four parts. Part one establishes an analytical framework that emphasises the diversity involved in learning. Part two discusses in depth the core knowledge and skills needed by adult educators. Part three looks at adult education policy and research. Finally, part four focuses on major innovations and issues in adult education and learning.
