What's the Difference?
Rogers, Alan
Adults Learning (England), v15 n2 p15-17 Oct 2003

The difference in teaching adults and children lies in differential power relationships between teachers and learners, the identities they construct, and the ways in which power and identity affect teaching and learning.
