About this title

From the Back Cover

In this revised second edition, Houle adds almost twenty-five years of additional experience and reflection to this classic work as he sets forth the goals and objectives of adult learning that cut across all settings and levels--uniting adult educators everywhere. Charting out the common ground of adult education program, Houle emphasizes the importance of a systematic approach to program planning as a central unifying feature of adult education theory and practice. He offers an up-to-date blueprint for planning, setting up, and evaluating adult education programs of any size--along with specific guidance that shows educators how to use his model to implement the type of program best suited to their needs and the needs of their learners.
