Adult Learning
Purpose
Design interventions that respect how adults learn differently
How to Use
Based on Malcolm Knowles' Andragogy principles. 1. Design learning from the participant's need to know. 2. Draw on participants' existing experience as a resource. 3. Make learning problem-centred rather than content-centred. 4. Connect learning to immediate application in real roles. 5. Allow self-direction wherever possible. 6. Build in reflection time after key activities.
