Cretchley, Gail; Castle, Jane

International Journal of Lifelong Education, v20 n6 p487-501 Nov-Dec 2001

Explores the relationship between outcome-based education (OBE), recognition of prior learning (RPL), and Knowles' andragogical model of adult education. Finds areas in which OBE and RPL are incompatible adult learning principles. Suggests ways in which these differences may result from structure and instructional design in higher education.
