Learning Is an Ontological Process: Jarvis and Theories of Christian Religious Education in Dialogue
Le Cornu, Alison – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2017
Both Jarvis and theories of Christian Religious Education (CRE) emphasise that learning develops the whole person, yet they differ in their understandings of how and why this is the case.

Stenberg, Anders – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2010
The public supply of adult education is very different between countries, making it likely that there is scope for efficiency gains.

Field, John – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2009
Although there is a widely held view that adult learning has a positive impact on well-being, only recently has this proposition been systematically tested.
