Workplace education: adult education in a hospital nursing staff development department.
There is limited research-based information about the use of adult education principles in workplace education programs. A case study was conducted in a hospital nursing staff development department to provide recommendations for the current practice of adult education. The instructors used many of the principles of adult education, but problems stemmed from a lack of common understanding of adult education concepts.
