Adult education

The second edition of this comprehensive and practically oriented publication focuses on successful methods of modern teaching (presentation, discussion, solving model situations, coaching, learning from real performance, etc. ) and shows how to build educational programmes from these elements, how to choose teaching styles and how to deal with learning difficulties.

But the book is far from just about how to teach. An unprecedented amount of attention is given to the meaning and themes of education and the search for answers to the questions of who and what to teach and who teaches others best and learns the most. For the second edition, the author has reworked in particular the commentary on the purpose, context and status of adult education and provides examples of important teachers of humanity and the influence of teachers on society and human development.

The readable text is complemented by over 100 pictures and many examples. The work summarizes the experience gained by the acclaimed author during twenty years of practice as a university teacher, creator of interactive training programs and independent lecturer and consultant.
