Product Description
How can we make our teaching of adults more effective? In the 3rd edition of this bestselling text, Alan Rogers looks at what is distinctive about adult learning and teaching. Based on nearly 40 years of practical experience in a variety of contexts in the UK and overseas, the book discusses what it is that makes helping adults to learn different from teaching younger students. It is concerned with both basic principles and useful hints for teachers and, as such, it will be of value to teachers and programme organisers, to students on adult education courses, to policy makers and to administrators.

Customer Reviews
Readable summary of important issues in adult education
This book has been a great resource. It is readable, challenging and illuminating. It covers all the important issues in relation to adult education, and gives a good range of additional reading for those who wish to delve deeper. If you only want to buy one book on teaching and learning in adults, then this could be it.
Adult teaching
This book is very well done. It contains all you need to know to teach adults and contains excellent psychological research regarding adult learning and teaching. I'm currently doing my msc in Occupational Psychology and its very useful for my exams for that.
