Biography
Jonathan E. Taylor is Professor and Director of Doctoral Studies in Adult Education at Auburn University, USA.
"If phrases like 'motivational immediacy', 'effectual learning,' and 'means end fusion' don’t ring a bell, there’s good reason – these are ideas that have not permeated academia, yet they are critical for effectual learning. That is, maximized learning, learning that is both acquired and accepted by the learner.
Dr. Taylor explains it all in a conversational, and often humorous way, which is a real trick. Some of these ideas not only challenge traditional notions about teaching, but they’re sometimes complex. BUT – fear not! Dr. Taylor sprinkles ample, pragmatic examples that lead the reader to say 'Ah – yes, I get it… maybe I ought to do that!'" Joseph H. Reynolds, Ed.D., Graduate Program Coordinator, Adult Education, Troy University
