Socio-Cultural Context Although there is quite an age gap between Cunningham and Merriam, both women were pioneers in the field of modern Adult Education Cunningham is known as one of the first women in modern Adult Education to have a key, professional position. Phyllis Cunningham was also the only woman in the second “mentor series” films produced by the University of Georgia on Adult Education professors. Merriam focused many of her efforts on writing literature that is used today for professional Adult Education development. Cunningham was more focused on the social and ethical side of Adult Education. Together they have been a large part of the developing landscape of Adult Education

Handbook of Adult and Continuing Education SHARAN B. MERRIAM AND PHYLLIS M. CUNNINGHAM, EDITORS Merriam and Cunningham both served on staff at Northern Illinois University. They became the co-editors of the 1989 edition of the Handbook of Adult and Continuing Education.

Needs, Focus, and Impact Cunningham focused on the social and ethical responsibilities of Adult Education. The general focus was on learner needs and how not all students learn in the same way. Merriam’s primary focus was on developing useful texts for the Adult Educator and the links between andragogy and self- directed learning. “AFTER SOME 80 YEARS OF STUDY, WE HAVE NO SINGLE, NO ONE THEORY OR MODEL OF ADULT LEARNING. WHAT WE HAVE INSTEAD IS A COLORFUL MOSAIC OF THEORIES, MODELS, SETS OF PRINCIPLES AND EXPLANATIONS THAT COMBINED CREATE THE KNOWLEDGE BASE OF ADULT LEARNING” - SHARAN B. MERRIAM

Based on the different philosophies of education… Analytical: Purpose of education is to communicate knowledge, understanding, and insight through a deeper awareness and consciousness Liberal: The purpose of education is to develop the mind through transmission of a body of organized knowledge to produce virtuous people Behavioral: To promote competence, skill, development, and behavioral change in order that the learners meet societal expectations Progressive: To promote societal well- being, enhance individual effectiveness in society and give learners practical knowledge and problem-solving skills Humanistic: To enhance personal growth and development, and to facilitate self- actualization. The learner is highly motivated and self- directed Radical: To bring about social, political, economic, and fundamental change in a society through education. Occurs usually in an oppressed society/community.

Where might Cunningham and Merriam fit best?
