Theoretical Perspectives in Adult Education

This book states, concisely and simply, the essential principles and theories of adult education from diverse perspectives. The major reason for it is to meet the needs of under-graduate and post graduate students in adult education, and schools of education in general. Theoretical Perspectives in Adult Education provides in an understandable form, some theories, principles and practices of adult education in the context of the contributors. The Nigerian Cooperative of Adult Education Practitioners (NCAEP) has painstakingly echoed their voices throughout the pages of this work to deliver ideas and contributions that would move the facilitation of adult education to a more impressionable level. All the chapters cannot be previewed in this introduction but they cover an overview of theories and concepts in adult education, gerontology, women education, rural development and community education, population education, distance education, and curriculum development education as well as policy matters in adult education.
