Methodological Convergence and Social Action.

This article focuses on the convergence between adult education and group work. Examination of the definitional papers on the two fields indicates that the distance between adult education and group work is gradually diminishing. A review of recent trends supports this evidence of professional convergence. A national survey of public school adult education conducted by the National Adult Education in the U.S. also illustrates this convergence. The survey report lauds the precedent of those schools which have added recreation to their curricula in an effort to become centers for community life.
