Patterns of learning: new perspectives on life-span education
As the subtitle 'New perspectives on life-span education' suggests, this book is primarily focused on different patterns of learning among adults. By illustrating unique patterns of learning (styles) used by eminent individuals, e.g. Thoreau, Billy Graham and Edward Everett, the author argues that educators must overcome tradition and seek alternative educational practices corresponding to adult learning needs. He offers a range of alternative educational strategies to facilitate adult education and suggests how to apply various facets of the lifelong concept, e.g. adapting the formal education system to lifelong learning, enhancing the zest for lifelong inquiry, fostering recurrent education, designing education for the successive stages of life, developing the study of sequential patterns of learning
