The Handbook of Adult and Continuing Education by Tonette S Rocco

The Handbook of Adult and Continuing Education by Tonette S Rocco

The 2020 Handbook of Adult and Continuing Education provides rich information on the contemporary issues and trends that are of concern to adult and continuing education, the programs and resources available to adult learners, and opportunities to challenge and critique the structures embedded in the field that perpetuate inequity and social injustice. Adult education is a discipline that foresees a better tomorrow, and the handbook is designed to engage and inspire readers to assist the field to seek new paths, ask questions, and help the field flourish in uncertain and complex times. The editors offer an introduction that describes the core themes of the handbook. The book is then divided into five parts: Foundations: The first part includes six chapters that situate the field by describing the developments, core debates, perspectives, and key principles that form the basis of the field. Understanding Adult Learning: The second part offers chapters on adult learning, adult development, motivation, access, participation, support of adult learners, and mentoring. Teaching Practices and Administrative Leadership: The third part addresses organization and administration, program planning, assessment and evaluation, teaching perspectives, andragogy and pedagogy, public pedagogy, and digital technologies for teaching and learning. Formal and Informal Learning Contexts: The fourth part includes 17 chapters on the wide spectrum of the field, from adult basic education to health professions education, and from religious and spiritual education to social and political movements. Contemporary Issues: The fifth part contains 11 chapters on a broad spectrum of issues facing the field. The editors then provide a concluding chapter and an epilogue and offer some next steps for adult and continuing education and priorities for the future.
