How adults learn (andragogy-Malcolm Knowles).
It is based on several assumptions:
*adults have the need to know why they are learning something.
*adults have a need to be self-directed.
*adults bring more work-related experiences into the learning situation.
How adults learn
· Window of opportunity for learning, beyond which adults will be less receptive to learning. Ex: newly appointed managers should therefore be trained as quickly as possible.
· Retention of things learned depends on the opportunity to reinforce (practice) them.
· Adult learning is problem centred.
· Adult learning can be motivated by appealing to personal growth or gain (ex: if it will result in greater autonomy)
· Motivation to learn can be increased, ex: through increased participation.
