Adult Learning

Adults bring a wealth of experience to training, and have needs that must be met for learning to occur.

Four Principles of Adult Learning:

1. Adults need to be involved in planning / evaluation.

2. Experiences (including mistakes) provide the basis for learning activities.

3. Adults are most interested in learning subjects that have immediate relevance to their job or personal life.

4. Adult learning is problem-centered rather than content-oriented.
