Rezensionen

"In the foreword to Steven B. Frye, 2017 President of the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education (AAACE), sets the stage by stating that 'the rapid-paced changes we are experiencing in our world call for an ongoing conversation to keep adult education relevant, fresh, and current'. Thus, the focus of this volume is to explore and add depth to the research, evaluation, and methods involved in understanding the major issues and influences in the adult education field.

In sum, this final volume does exactly what is promised in the preface: 'to follow connections among topics to navigate among articles, discover additional publications, and find ideas to share with program stakeholders'."
