Five Perspectives on Teaching in Adult and Higher Education

by Daniel D. Pratt

Won 1998 Houle Award for Outstanding Literature in Adult Education. This book is a blend of theory and practice, derived from several years of studying the teaching of adults in and North America. It presents five different perspectives on teaching adults. Perspectives are explained as "something we look through, rather than at” as we go about the business of teaching. Each perspective is described as an interrelated set of actions, intentions, and beliefs and then is illustrated within contexts of adult education practice.

I'm enjoying doing extra research into adult education as I have to explain to others the best way to teach 24-35 year old air force engineering students. I wish I had taken a Masters degree in Education but that doesn't mean I can't become self taught to a 80% level.
