Book Description
Whether it is earning a GED, a particular skill, or technical topic for a career, taking classes of interest, or even returning to begin a degree program or completing it, adult learning encompasses those beyond the traditional university age seeking out education. This type of education could be considered non-traditional as it goes beyond the typical educational path and develops learners that are self-initiated and focused on personal development in the form of gaining some sort of education. Essentially, it is a voluntary choice of learning throughout life for personal and professional development. While there is often a large focus towards K-12 and higher education, it is important that research also focuses on the developing trends, technologies, and techniques for providing adult education along with understanding lifelong learners’ choices, developments, and needs. The Research Anthology on Adult Education and the Development of Lifelong Learners focuses specifically on adult education and the best practices, services, and educational environments and methods for both the teaching and learning of adults. This spans further into the understanding of what it means to be a lifelong learner and how to develop adults who want to voluntarily contribute to their own development by enhancing their education level or knowledge of certain topics. This book is essential for teachers and professors, course instructors, business professionals, school administrators, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the latest advancements in adult education and lifelong learning.

Book Description
In an information- and technology-based society, adults who lack opportunities for continuous learning are increasingly being left behind. To combat this problem and ensure a better quality of life for hundreds of millions of adults across the world, governments, businesses, and non-profit organizations are investing heavily in adult education. Dr. Olivia A. T. Frimpong Kwapong tackles this issue in Adult Education, a thoroughly researched and documented book that sets out to examine the growth of the adult education movement, the various philosophies and approaches used, and the aims of its practitioners. She discusses the impact of adult education on poverty, health, agriculture, and the environment, and explores the practice of adult education in different continents. The book also includes a discussion of how adult education in selected sub-Saharan African countries is being used to promote development, heal and revitalize war-torn nations, and improve the lives of women. When adults are given the opportunity for further learning, their lives become fuller, and their success is an important factor in promoting employment, economic development, and democracy for everyone. Dr. Kwapong's landmark book takes an in-depth look at the current thinking about adult education and the role it plays in advancing our culture-and enriching our lives.
