Description

Explore the fundamental motivations behind adult education with this academic text from Routledge. Originally published in 1992, Why Adults Learn: Towards a Theory of Participation in Adult Education offers a unique perspective on why individuals choose to return to school or engage in organized learning activities. This book moves away from the standard psychological focus found in much adult learning research. Instead, it presents a new way to look at the subject by focusing on social participation. It examines how learning serves as a way for people to connect with their community and society at large. As part of the Routledge Library Editions: Adult Education, this work is an essential resource for those studying the social aspects of education. It provides a framework for reinterpreting adult learning not just as a personal goal, but as a vital part of social involvement. This text is ideal for students, researchers, and educators looking to understand the deeper connection between learning and community engagement.
