Teaching Adult Learners

How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of the pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centered approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. If you are an educator, administrator, researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this course will prepare you to create effective and engaging material for adult learners. Details
