The Three Dimensions of Learning: Contemporary Learning Theory in the Tension Field Between the Cognitive, the Emptional and the Social - Softcover

Reviews "Adult educators will find it a very interesting book. I do believe the book is a valuable and original contribution to adult learning." (Jack Mezirow, Professor of adult education, Columbia university) "Knud Illeris has thoroughly researched the work of some contemporary scholars of learning and provides and highlights significant issues. This is a book for those interested in expanding their understanding of learning theory." (Peter Jarvis, Professor of Continuing Education, University of Surrey)

This is an extraordinary book that offers both an overview and critical examination of the most significant American and European learning theories. Using the premise that learning comprises of three different dimensions - the cognitive, the emotional and the social - Illeris develops a coherent overall theory which addresses the current issue of competence development.
