Adult Learning is a pretty broad construct. In everyday learning, there's Everyday Cognition edited by Lave and Rogoff, and probably other similar volumes. There are a whole lot of books about people learning about how to teach, although most focus on college students learning a profession--are they adults? There's also a whole field of learning in the disciplines (academic disciplines) and professions. There's a free such volume at http://wac.colostate.edu/books/textual_dynamics/ Again, though, it all depends on what you consider to be an adult, and what sort of learning you're interested in. -----Original Message----- From: xmca-bounces@weber.ucsd.edu [mailto:xmca-bounces@weber.ucsd.edu] On Behalf Of mike Cole Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2012 11:01 PM To: eXtended Mind, Culture, Activity Cc: laure.kloetzer@gmail.com; eXtended Mind, Culture, Activity Subject: Re: [xmca] Identifying the Top Studies : adult learning Would it be possible and /interesting to put ip briefesh "Anotated bib" for this set of favorites .

You probably started with Paulo Freire, right? And of course Kohl's book, The Long Haul, co-written by the two of them, about Myles Horton, the American Freire. And there are a number of good books by Canadians, including Peter Sawchuk and David Livingstone's Hidden Knowledge. > > Helena > > > Helena Worthen > helena.worthen@berkeley.edu > 21 San Mateo Road > Berkeley, CA 94707 > Visiting Scholar, UCB Center for Labor Research and Education > 510-828-2745 > > On May 13, 2012, at 2:56 PM, Laure Kloetzer wrote: > >> I would like to extend Mike's question, as I am beginning a research >> on the psychology of learning (adult learning).
