Adult Learners more
This program begins by outlining ways adults differ from children as students; how their acquired knowledge and experience makes them more critical judges of materials and instructors; how adults want to be partners, not just pupils with the instructor; and why adults can be defensive and fearful in training programs. After setting up these problems, we will offer techniques for addressing these concerns when planning an adult training session.
Objectives:
- Recognize the needs of adult audiences and develop a distinct approach that works for you and your participants.
- Identify the benefits that learning present to adults.
- Learn how to minimize pressures of success and performance anxiety that inhibit adult learners.
- Foster a tension-free atmosphere for adults to share their expectations, values, previous experience, professional priorities, and expertise.
- Create a partnership with adult learners, acknowledging importance of contributions and sharing of information.
- Translate what you learn into action.
