  22. Self-Directed Learning • Self-directed learning focuses on the process by which adults take control of their own learning, • In particular how they set their own learning goals, locate appropriate resources, decide on which learning methods to use and evaluate their progress.

  23. Critical Reflection • As an idea critical reflection focuses on three interrelated processes; • (1) the process by which adults question and then replace or reframe an assumption that up to that point has been uncritically accepted as representing commonsense wisdom, • (2) the process through which adults take alternative perspective on previously taken for granted ideas, actions, forms of reasoning and ideologies, • (3) the process by which adults come to recognize the hegemonic aspects of dominant cultural values and to understand how self-evident renderings of the 'natural' state of the world actually bolster the power and self-interest of unrepresentative minorities.

  24. Experiential Learning • Adult education was, therefore, “a continuing process of evaluating experiences”

  25. Learning to Learn • The ability of adults to learn how to learn to become skilled at learning in a range of different situations and through a range of different styles

  26. Emergent Trends • Cross Cultural Adult Learning • Practical Theorizing • Distance Learning
