Learning and Teaching in Universities: Perspectives from Adult Learners and Lecturers.
Merrill, Barbara
Teaching in Higher Education, v6 n1 p5-17 Jan 2001
Part of a comparative United Kingdom-Belgium study on adults in higher education, explored learning and teaching experiences of adult students and lecturers. Found that experiences are shaped by factors such as culture of the department, teaching styles of lecturers, and rigors of academic study. Adult students left the university with different attitudes toward study than when they entered. (EV)
