Presents five different perspectives on teaching adults, based on interviews with 253 teachers of adults in Asia and North America. After an overview of a general model of teaching and an introduction to the perspectives, Section II details the transmission, apprenticeship, developmental, nurturing, and social reform perspectives, presenting each as a legitimate way of teaching. Each perspective is described as an interrelated set of actions, intentions, and beliefs, and then illustrated within contexts of adult education practices. Section III comments on analytical tools and evaluation of teaching methods. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
