Won 1998 Houle Award for Outstanding Literature in Adult Education. This book is a blend of theory and practice, derived from several years of studying the teaching of adults in and North America. It presents five different perspectives on teaching adults. Perspectives are explained as "something we look through, rather than at” as we go about the business of teaching. Each perspective is described as an interrelated set of actions, intentions, and beliefs and then is illustrated within contexts of adult education practice. Used Book in Good Condition
