Understanding Adult Education Through Learning Theory and Equity in Higher Education: Redefining Success
Abstract
Adult learners in higher education encounter unique barriers that can hinder their success. It is essential to examine adult education through the lenses of learning theory and equity. This chapter focuses on how frameworks like Transformative Learning Theory can assist educators and policymakers in identifying and overcoming obstacles faced by adult learners. Drawing on current Zimbabwean research and real-world examples, it discusses the impact of accessibility, diversity, and inclusion on adult learners' experiences. The chapter emphasizes how these learning theories can inform pedagogical strategies to promote equity and success, regardless of their backgrounds. Additionally, it explores emerging trends in adult education, including online learning, micro-credentialing, and workplace learning. By understanding these theories and trends, stakeholders can create a more inclusive educational environment that empowers adult learners to thrive, ultimately highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach to enhance learning outcomes for all students.
