	Encyclopedia topic: Adult education (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Adult education is the practice of teaching and educating adults.
		Another important difference is that adults frequently must apply their knowledge in some practical fashion in order to learn effectively; there must be a goal and a reasonable expectation that the new knowledge will help them further that goal.
		A working adult is unlikely to have the freedom to simply quit their job and go "back to school" on a full-time basis.

	Malcolm Knowles, informal adult education, self-direction and andragogy
		In focusing on the notion of informal education, Malcolm Knowles was pointing to the 'friendly and informal climate' in many adult learning situations, the flexibility of the process, the use of experience, and the enthusiasm and commitment of participants (including the teachers!).
		He didn't define informal adult education - but uses the term to refer to the use of informal programmes and, to some extent, the learning gained from associational or club life.
		He was the first to chart the rise of the adult education movement in the United States; the first to develop a statement of informal adult education practice; and the first to attempt a comprehensive theory of adult education (via the notion of andragogy).
