Adult Learning Dictionary
The Dictionary is a glossary of key terms related to various types of adult learning activities and the measurement of their associated benefits. It is one in a series of papers that have informed the development of an analytical framework for the Adult Learning and Returns to Training Project. This larger project is a three-year multi-disciplinary and collaborative effort to further the knowledge base of conceptual, analytical and methodological issues concerning the scope and measurement of adult learning activities and their associated economic and non-economic returns to individuals, firms and society at large.
