Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: The Adult learner Customer Rating:   A recommended reference to those who are taking andragogy, adult education, life long education, training and development or alike in HRD or HRM programmes at undergraduate and graduate level. Learning and aging adults who want to learn Customer Rating: Definitely definitive. Must read for today's web designers, instuctional designers, course developers, and any educator trying to figure out how to get instruction to be more inclusive for all adults, including aging learners. Great resource for introduction to topic Customer Rating: "This is an excellent introduction to andragogy, adult learning. Knowles (known as the "Father of Andragogy") expertly introduces concepts and theories surrounding this field. While it may appear to be related only in an educational context, knowing how adults learn could help facilitate the way new products, process, and even systems are introduced and used within an organization. It's well worth the time to understand. I would couple this book with "Learning in Adulthood" by Sharan B. Merriam & Rosemary S. Caffarella. " Andragogy, ok, but where are the updated research and current references? Customer Rating: So, I'm writing a paper on Adult Learning. Basic definitions abound in this book. Excellent beginning book, but not very exciting. I bought it to use as a main reference book. Unfortunately, all the references are older than 10 years ago, and where's the research?? I want to love Andragogy, but the two current authors are not doing anything to perpetuate it. The latest theory definitions are not included in relation to Andragogy either. How about transformational theory, critical pedagogy, adult learning theory, and any others that are around? I contacted one of the authors by phone, but he never responded to my voicemail. Zzzzzz..... Customer Rating: I found this book to be EXTREMELY verbose and hard to comprehend. I agree with other posters that it reads similar to a research paper with lots of citations and "borrowed" information. The overall meaning is lost when you have to read chapters 3 & 4 times to decode it. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
