Andragogy in Action: Applying Modern Principles of Adult Learning

After an introduction setting out the current status of andragogy as "the art and science of helping adults learn", the bulk of the book is devoted to accounts of applying andragogy (in: business, industry and government; colleges and universities [the latter being the slowest to exploit the potential of andragogy among the institutions reporting]; the professions; continuing education in the health professions; religious education; elementary and secondary education, and remedial education). A survey of the effectiveness of andragogy in a variety of settings, along with references and an index, concludes the book.
