| Résumé : |
The author of the pioneering classic text, Informal Adult Education, now presents the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and practical guide to the theory and practice of adult education.
Applicable in any setting, this is a guided inquiry into the newly emerging technology of adult education, based on an original theory of andragogy (the art and science of helping adults learn) as distinguished from pedagogy (the art and science of teaching children and youth). Dr. Knowles’ central thesis is that adults in certain crucial respects are different from young people as learners, and that accordingly a different approach is required to help them learn. In the first part of the book he explores what these differences are, and what they mean for the development of a unique technology for adult education. In the second part, he details principles and practical techniques in chapters that deal with— • establishing an organizational climate and structure • assessing needs and interests • defining purposes and objectives • translating objectives into program designs • organizing and administering total programs • evaluating programs • using a Systems approach to program planning and operation The third part presents tested management principles and methods for courses, workshops, institutes and other types of educational activities. As with the rest of the book, this section cites numerous examples of successful practices. Dr. Knowles includes many samples of actual programs and materials used effectively, illustrating the great variety in curricular offerings, interest groups, and learning levels. |
