Using Groups in Adult Learning: Theory and Practice
Susan Imel, PhD, AMLS, BS

A b s t r a c t

The use of groups in adult education has a long history. The focus, however, has been on group process rather than on learning. Recently, adult educators have begun exploring learning in groups. Other areas that have received attention are how power issues are manifested in groups and the role of the facilitator. Selected aspects of learning in groups, power, and the role of the facilitator are discussed and some suggestions for structuring group learning for adults are provided.
