Learning and Teaching in Adult Education : Contemporary Theories
‘Nothing is as practical as a good theory.’ The great theorist of psychology, Kurt Lewin, is said to have coined this statement, although it was probably made earlier. A sweeping proposition like this one certainly eases the work of the scholarly writer tremendously, since no justification or excuse has to be provided for filling shelf after shelf with sophisticated theoretical treatises, which all have to be regarded as ‘practical’ by their mere existence. There is more to Lewin’s proposition, however, than merely rubber-stamping any theoretical effort whatsoever.
