Models of adult learning (2003)

Tusting K., Barton D. (2003), Models of adult learning: a literature review, National Research and Development Centre for Adult Literacy and Numeracy, London.

Review of research that identifies different models of adult learning and considers their significance for adult literacy, language and numeracy development.
"Learning is a characteristic of all real-life activities, in which people take on different roles and participate in different ways. People learn by engaging in practice and their participation can be supported in new ways. Teaching can ‘scaffold’ these activities, enabling learners to develop new forms of expertise."
