A Comparison between the Purpose and Goals of Human Resource Development and Adult Education: Whose Interests Are Being Served?

Batchelder, John Stuart; Byxbe, Ferris

Journal of Adult Education, v30 n1 p1-13 Win 2001-2002

The purposes and goals of adult education and human resource development (HRD) differ and even clash. They find common ground in the personal development function but differ in the control and motivation for learning. Adult education seeks to enable learner self-determination; HRD's focus is enabling organizational control through employee development. (Contains 22 references.) (SK)
