I am particularly interested in locating any existing books, articles, orother documents that discuss EFF in the light of the philosophies of Dewey, Lindeman, Knowles, Mezirow etc...Any and all direction on this topic would be greatly appreciated!" Don, I suggest you go to Juliet Merrifield's EFF Research Report: Building the Framework, 1993-1997. Section 3 is about Concepts and Theories in EFF -- 1. a purposeful view of learning; 2. education rooted in the context of adults' lives; 3. application, not posession, of skills; and 4. adult development as transformation. Overall, I think the report makes a clear case for how EFF builds on and contributes to the work of men like Dewey, Lindeman, Knowles, Mezirow, etc. In fact, the EFF report's References section includes some of their publications. The EFF Research Report: Building the Framework, 1993-1997 is available via the EFF web site at: <http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/collections/eff/merrifield_eff.pdf> or for a hard copy from the ED PUBS Clearinghouse, call their toll free number: 1-877-433-7287. Request publication # EX0106P. Don, good luck with your search! If you discover some good stuff on this topic, I hope you'll share those resources with us here. Thanks, Ronna Ronna G.
