Description
Abstract: This third edition book examines the various theories of learning and how these are often the basis for adult teaching methods even though they are child learning theories. Knowles contends that techniques for teaching adults must differ from teaching children because adults bring motivations, goals, expectations and experiences which are different from those of children. This book covers theories of learning, androgogy, theories of teaching, applying theories of learning and teaching to human res ource development. The book also contains select articles by Knowles and other authors. Included are case studies, learning styles, using learning contracts, the role of training in organization development and core competency diagnostic and planning guide.
