This book has a helpful insight to training adults. Understanding the motivation behind an individuals desire to learn has an impact on the overall effectiveness of the training involved. Great book, a must read for individuals in the field of adult education. Four and a half stars should be highlighted.
 BUT monkey! November 11, 2006
An excellent book which includes factual unbiased ways by which to motivate adults to learn! Definately required reading material to be a more affective instructor! BUT the author digresses at the end of the last chapter into spouting his opinions about how the motivation should be used to institute social change and environmental policy.
Great book but can we keep our opinions off topic to ourselves?!?
 Enhancing Adult Motivation To Learn--A Reader's Review November 6, 2006

Raymond J. Wlodkowski's Enhancing Adult Motivation To Learn is an excellent resource for anyone working with adult learners. It is comprehensive, clear, and easily applied in a variety of learning situations. Wlodkowski explains the affects of motivation on learning and on the instruction process, and how to develop strategies to enhance meaning, competence, and attitude, all of which affect the learning process.
This is a book one can return to repeatedly, as I do, for help with designing curriculum, lesson plans, and a wide variety of situations that precent themselves in a class of adult learners, many of whom have other responsibilities that often interfere with their ability to focus on learning. Although I only work with adults, I think many of his strategies would with with youth, as well.
Great for teaching February 24, 2006
