Learning is an inseparable part of human experience. Understanding how adults learn and applying that expertise to practical everyday situations and relationships opens the window on a broader understanding of the capacity of the human mind.
Dorothy MacKeracher's Making Sense of Adult Learning was first published in 1996, and was acclaimed for its readability and value as a reference tool. For the second edition of this essential work, MacKeracher has reorganized and revised many of the chapters to bring the text up-to-date for contemporary use. Concepts are presented from learning-centred and learner-centred perspectives, while related learning and teaching principles provide ideas about how one may enable others to learn more effectively.
Written for people preparing to become adult educators, Making Sense of Adult Learning provides background information about the nature of adult learning and the characteristics that typify adult learners. This new edition will be quick to assert its place as the premier guide in the field.
Every Adult Educator Should Read This Book An excellent, well-written book that every adult educator should read, study, and apply. The author knows her stuff!
Authoritative on Adult Ed. This book is an update of Brundage and MacKeracher's earlier work, Adult Learning Principles and Their Application to Program Planning, that they did for the Ontario Ministry of Education. As an Adult Ed. teacher, I relied heavily on their concise and informative study of adult learners when I went through my master's program and was very pleased to learn that Ms. MacKeracher had updated and revised the work. This book is readable and very helpful on understanding how adults learn and what programs and proceses work best.
