The Adult Learner
Author: Malcolm S. KnowlesPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000072894
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 407
Book Description
How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.
Seamus Heaney
Author: Andrew MurphyPublisher: Liverpool University Press

Category : LITERARY CRITICISM
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
Seamus Heaney is one of the foremost poets of his generation. His work is greatly admired by scholars and general readers alike, as confirmed by his appointment to professorships at both Harvard and Oxford and, in 1995, the award of the Nobel Prize for Literature. The appeal of Heaney's poetry lies in its gracefulness, its meticulous attention to the sound and structure of language, and the range of topics engaged by the poet: from the precise particularity of the local and familial to greater political, social, and cultural themes. In this lucid and wide-ranging study Andrew Murphy charts the trajectory of Heaney's career as a poet, placing his work within the contexts of both the Irish poetic tradition and his crucial social and political milieu as a writer from the north of Ireland seeking a fruitful engagement with the conflicts affecting his homeland. Heaney emerges as a complex and multi-faceted figure passionately engaged by poetry and politics alike.
