Description

Originally published in 1992, this Routledge foundational text examines why adults return to school and engage in organised learning activities by exploring the motivations driving participation. Rather than focusing solely on psychological factors, the book reinterprets adult learning through the lens of social participation, emphasising how educational involvement connects to a person's broader relationship with their community and society. It challenges conventional research paradigms and offers a comprehensive theory of adult education participation that remains relevant to educators, researchers, and policy makers seeking to understand the social dimensions of lifelong learning.

Key Features

Why Adults Learn explores the motivations behind adult participation in organised learning and educational activities.

The Routledge text prioritises social participation theory over traditional psychological approaches to adult education research.

This book examines adult learning as an integral aspect of community and societal involvement rather than an isolated pursuit.

Originally published in 1992, the work provides foundational theoretical frameworks for understanding adult education participation patterns.
