The Will To Learn, Not Just Teach: Challenges and Considerations for Educators of Aboriginal Adults.

Cousins, Carolyn

Australian Journal of Adult Learning, v43 n1 p101-14 Apr 2003

The population would be better served by two-way learning through relationships (knowledge sharing) and self-determination and control. (Contains 17 references.) (SK)
