This publication was made possible by the Rector's Fund in support of publications and books, Bar Ilan University, Israel.

The Andragogic Learning Center examines an eight-year study at the Bar Ilan School of Social Work, Israel (1989-1997). The study tested the efficacy of an innovative community-based teaching approach, combining field and class instruction. The efficacy of interaction between teaching and learning style in learning process and context was also examined.
More than 400 B.S.W. students participated, divided each year into an experimental group of twelve students learning all three social work methods, and two control groups learning two social work methods.
A number of hypotheses were tested, utilizing a detailed before/after questionnaire, which included a learning style questionnaire (TABS) and Middleman's Study Guide for ACSW Certification Exam. Role, Learning, and Andragogy Theories provided a framework for interpreting and understanding the process and results.

Industry Reviews

This monograph is a gift... a unique personal perspective on a model of education that was actually designed, implemented, and studied, and on a vast array of work done by educational theorists and philosophers involved in adult education, professional education and Social Work education over the last half century. -- Ben Zion Shapiro, professor emeritus, faculty of social work, University of Toronto
The work of Dr. Sonnheim and Dr. Lehman is timely considering the economic demands made on universities today. Excellence need not be compromised, and the quality of education can continue to pursue its goals and aspirations...the book will be a source of enlightenment to faculty and students. I recommend it highly. -- Ruben Schindler, dean and professor, School of Social Work, Ashkelon College, Israel
