Adult Learning Theories
[ send me this paper ]
A 13 page paper. Theorists have consistently commented on the need for experiential learning in adult education.

Some theorists argue that this is not always the case. It may depend on why the adult is taking a class. This essay will discuss several learning theories. The essay does not make any specific conclusion other than to point out that most theorists say some of the same things about the adult learner. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Aging Population's Impact on Adult Education
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page research paper that discusses a prevalent demographic trend that is having a tremendous impact on adult education is the rapidly increasing number of older adults. On average, every "50 seconds another 50 baby boomers celebrate their 50th birthdays" (Morris and Ballard, 2003, p. 167). Baby Boomers are the generation born between 1946 and 1964 and they constitute one of the largest segments of the American population. Due to the progression of this demographic bump through the lifespan, the number of adult education programs for midlife and older adults has expanded tremendously over the course of the last 2 decades, with many programs moving beyond the traditional subject matters, such as recreational activities (Morris and Lane, 2003).

Allowing Segregation In College Dormitories
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Yale University's regulations demand that freshman and sophomore years are spent living in the college dormitories. Members of some minority groups on college campuses often insist on living together in separate dorms, taking their meals together, engaging in separate activities and just generally living apart from those who are not of their ethnic background. In light of today's emphasis upon the multicultural experience, should the university allow such segregation? Indeed, there is no question that this should be allowed to progress is this direction, inasmuch as forcing people to integrate with one another in the past has not proven a successful venture.
