The interloan mentioned in my last post has arrived - and it's a chewy one. Malinen's Adult experiential learning reads like a PhD written in book form... which makes it a challenge to read! Still, it is a worthwhile synthesis of Knowles, Kolb, Merizow, Revans and Schon - and, a valid place to start based on my research question:
To what extent, if any, are students of theology at a distance disadvantaged in terms of Christian formation?
I have a lot of reading ahead of me, and it is somewhat frustrating to change course again from the literature of theological education and distance and e-learning, to adult education with a formational bent. Still, it's what I signed up for...
...and my application for direct candidacy is now sent off. Back to Malinen...! This book will help me to get Merizow into perspective.
