• W2534639533 abstract "There are a numerous “theories” associated with adult learning and adult education. However, to date, there is not one single theory that adequately describes adult learning. Rather there are several theories, models, and frameworks used in advancing the ideologies of adult learning and the characteristics of the adult learner. This paper advances and table presentation advances the discussion about the elements of good theory development in the practice of adult education. Adult Learning Theories: A Dynamic Narrative The development of adult learning theories enjoys a dynamic history; it parallels the history of the field of adult education. In an attempt to create the knowledge base for adult learning and education several scholars and practitioners have attempted to proffer strategies and models about adult learning. Scholars have borrowed philosophies, values, and principles from fields such as philosophy, sociology, psychology, anthropology, and the pedagogy of learning to create a theoretical base for adult learning and education. These contributions have shed much light on the process of adult learning (Merriam, 2003). Paradoxically, the need to make use of these various perspectives extends an understanding of the complex nature of adult learning. Enthusiasm to professionalize the field, to afford adult education its own knowledge base, lead to efforts in the development of two of the most prominent and important models or theories of adult learning, to date. These are andragogy and self-directed learning (Knowles, 1975; 1980). Since the 1970s other theories, frameworks, and models have emerged. These include transformative learning (Mezirow, 1991, 2000). These works can be classified as perhaps the second phase of understanding and knowledge development in adult learning. In the 1990s and 2000s other contributions emerged and paradoxically scholars have been returning to their roots—psychology, philosophy, and sociology and to “other fields and disciplines to illuminate their understanding of adult learning” (Merriam, 2003, p. 208). This third period of adult learning theory development focuses on contextual based learning, critical perspectives, and emotive dimensions of the connections of mind-body-spirit. What is the future of adult learning theories? It is anyone’s guess, but one thing is certain, there is need for understanding the elements of good theory development. Importance of Filling the Void Regardless of the contributions, the field of adult learning remains lucrative, for scholarship and theory development. The adult learner is a complex human being; no single theory will fully capture the complexity of our learning abilities. The future of adult learning and adult education calls for an extension of multiple theories, frameworks, and models. The theorybuilding process in adult learning is dynamic and evolving (Merriam, 2003, p. 216). However, mediocrity is not an acceptable approach in developing these theories. As adult learning has struggled to advance its value, richness, and perspectives, the importance of good (solid) theory" @default.
