Examines the role of psychology in informing adult education
This is the second edition of a popular text (published 1988) which examines the role of psychology in informing adult education practice, and should be of particular interest and utility to students interested in adult education. It examines the seminal traditions of some key psychological theories and discusses the issues and problems in applying them to an understanding of adult learning and development. It does not aim to provide an exhaustive account of psychology and its application to adult learning, or detailed descriptions of particular theories. In this way, in my opinion, it avoids extreme specialisation which may lead to the risk of irrelevance in a more general PhD in Education curriculum. It has been updated (1997) to take account of the most recent research in the area and includes new material on adult intelligence and situated cognition. Read more

Quite a informative book
This book is by far a great additional book to update adult learning concepts. You need to pretty much know the basic conecpts of adult learning. It didn't provide a great explanational details, therefore you will need to have some prior background understandings in conjunction with this book. ... Read more

THE BEST GED PREP BOOK!
This is the best book I have found to study the GED. It goes through the types of questions you find on the GED. I have three books on the GED and this one is the best, and ironically it was the shortest!

Excellent!
If you're like me and you don't need a thorough, in-depth overview of high school Science, Math, Language Arts, and Social Studies, but you want to know what kind of questions are on the test and get a bit of practice, this book is for you.

What an excellent addition to the adult education literature
Drago-Severson furthers our understanding of the potential for adults to learn and grow in her groundbreaking work, Becoming Adult Learners (Teachers College Press, 2004). Through case examples, Drago-Severson demonstrates how adults from diverse backgrounds experienced learning in a workplace education program and the ways in which their educational experiences helped them to learn and grow. Viewing their experiences through a constructive-developmental lens, Drago-Severson shows the power of adult education as a transformative tool in adults' lives. Drago-Severson's expertise in employing research methods and Kegan's constructive-developmental theory to shed light on an important facet of adult education--which includes not only learning but development and growth-will be most helpful to adult educators. Becoming Adult Learners is a significant contribution to the field of adult education. The practical suggestions and tools offered will help adult educators, researchers, and policymakers to respond to adult learners' strengths and learning needs. Drago-Severson's ideas and tools provided in Becoming Adult Learners have helped me tremendously in my own practice and research. ... Read more

Ground breaking work that lays the foundation for a new discipline
Dr. Carol Hoare is to be commended for having the vision and passion needed to generate The Handbook for Adult Development and Learning. The impetus for the Handbook came from her 15-year experience teaching two separate courses (Adult Development and Adult Learning) at the University level. Based on her experiences within the classroom, Dr. Hoare astutely recognized that adult development and adult learning are symbiotic and needed to be examined and studied in an integrated fashion. The Handbook is a tour de force that comprehensively reviews and synthesizes the research literature, presents state-of-the-art data and autobiographical cases, and skillfully applies theory to practice to enhance the reader's experience. Throughout the Handbook, each chapter illustrates how adult development influences learning and how adult learning can fuel development. The Handbook also provides a healthy and positive viewpoint to the aging process in that development and learning are considered to dynamically evolve over one's lifespan. This is well illustrated in Hoare's chapter 16: Work as the catalyst of adult development and learning. This chapter poignantly discusses the importance of work in our culture and to our identity, and how work can influence and enhance our life long development and learning. The Handbook is a must read and an outstanding resource for educators, administrators, students, practitioners, and others interested in learning more about the integral connections between adult development and the adult learner. ...

If you need to take the GED test this is the book for you
I just recently ordered this book and it is very informative on what you need to know before taking to test. Someone said that this book is hard to understand, i totally disagree. If you want to pass the test the first time read this book!!!!

Extremely informative and appropriate
Preparation for the GED can be difficult and scary, but this text iswritten and presented in such a way the students will feel more confident. All areas of the test are covered thoroughly without being burdensome.Thetext also covers all skill levels within each subject.One concern mightbe the expectation that the student has the reading level necessary forcomprehending the explanations, I would suggest some information beingprovided in the introduction about a minimum reading level needed to usethis text. ...
