商品簡介
Adult education refers to an education system wherein adults are involved in sustained and systematic self-educating activities for obtaining new forms of values, knowledge, attitudes and skills. It can encompass any kind of learning taken up by adults after the conventional schooling, which comprises fundamental literacy to ensure personal fulfillment of an individual. Adult education is taken voluntarily and the participants are self-motivated to complete the learning. Continuing education is a form of adult education, which consists of post-secondary learning programs and activities. These include college remediation, non-degree career training, degree credit courses taken up by non-traditional students, formal workforce training, and personal enrichment courses. This book provides comprehensive insights on the foundations of adult and continuing education. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language, and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
