"Exploring adult education through learning theory reveals effective strategies and principles that enhance the educational experience for adult learners. As individuals return to the classroom looking to advance their careers, acquire new skills, or pursue personal interests, they bring unique backgrounds, motivations, and learning styles that require thoughtful approaches to learning. Learning theories, such as andragogy, experiential learning, and transformative learning, provide valuable frameworks for understanding how adults engage with knowledge and apply it to real-world situations. By examining these theories, educators can design more effective curricula that accommodate the diverse needs of adult learners while fostering meaningful learning experiences for improved personal and professional lives. Exploring Adult Education Through Learning Theory explores adult learning theories through educational scenarios and an engagement in educational planning for adult education. Learning theories such as experiential, transformative, and social learning are closely examined. This book covers topics such as learning styles, digital technology, and education technology, andis a useful resource for educators, business owners, academicians, scientists, researchers, and psychologists."--
