The Challenges of Lifelong Education in the New Millennium.
Second Edition.

The landmark comprehensive guide to the context, psychology and methods of learning for the workplace completely revised on the basis of the changing needs of a new decade.

Knowledge is one of today's few meaningful resources. Equip yourself to ride the rollercoaster of racing change, globalism and technological super-innovation that is life and work in our age. Completely revised and updated for the 2000s, this new edition is for educators, trainers and managers who want to stay in touch with the latest thinking in their fields.

Dr Robert Burns explains the important changes that have swept through the field of post-compulsory education and the worldwide swing to the lifelong learning as the gateway to a learning society. When work, education and life satisfaction can truly intermesh, sustainable prosperity becomes achievable.

Robert Burns explores such questions as:
- What conditions have created lifelong learning, learning societies and learning organisations?
- How have government and business responded?
- What methods and processes enhance the learning potential of adults?
- How can we motivate adults to learn?
- What are the effects of advancing age on our ability to learn?
- Is competency training an effective tool for encouraging learning?

This new edition examines how and why we must facilitate the learning potential of all members of society. The book provides an attractive vision of the development of learning environments in the workplace and the community setting-integrating skill learning and personal development using well founded principles of adult learning.
