Psychology and Adult Learning: The Role of Theory in Informing Practice
Autor Mark Tennanten Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 sep 2019
Providing a thoughtful and accessible approach to understanding self and personal change in adult education, and with a new emphasis on diversity, this new edition has been revised and updated in light of the impact of globalising processes, the emphasis on diversity among educators, developments in cognitive neuroscience, the impact of social media, and the theoretical move away from ‘grand theory’. It examines the formation of identities, and places increased emphasis on how a conception of selfhood lies at the heart of teaching adults. Considering adult learning in a variety of contexts, topics covered include:
• Humanistic psychology
• Selfhood in the adult years
• The relevance of neuroscience
• Adult intelligence and cognition
• Behaviourism
• Group learning
• Transformative learning
Psychology and Adult Learning examines the psychological dimension of adult education work by analysing and critiquing key psychological theories that have informed our understanding. It is essential reading for all those who seek a critical account of how psychology informs contemporary adult education theory and practice.
