Abstract	This article explores how far research findings about successful pedagogies in formal post-school education might be used in non-formal learning contexts--settings where learning may not lead to formal qualifications. It does this by examining a learner outcomes model adapted from a synthesis of research into retention. The article first introduces the model. It then explores this model to identify pedagogy suitable for formal education. Next it asks whether this pedagogy may also be appropriate for use in four non-formal learning contexts: community development; adult literacy; workplace learning; and personal interest learning. While it gives a qualified "yes" to the question, it acknowledges some short comings in the pedagogy for non-formal adult learning. Finally, the article attempts to address short comings by integrating a critical dimension into the model, suggesting that learner outcomes in formal education could also benefit from the inclusion of this critical dimension.
