Description

The Foundations of Adult Education in Canada (Second Edition) is an essential textbook for practitioners and students of adult education. This is a full-length examination of the nature and scope of adult education as it has evolved in Canada over the past 150 years, with particular emphasis on recent experiences. This edition updates much of the material in the book, providing coverage of developments during the nineties. In addition, it includes three entirely new chapters: adult education in Quebec; women and adult education; and the future prospects of the field. There is expanded treatment of several topics, including education in the labour movement, the impact of technological developments and the expansion of distance education, among others. The Foundations of Adult Education in Canada is essential reading for practitioners and students of adult education.
