Adult learners are most successful when:
• The learning is purposeful, meaningful and relevant
• The learner is actively involved• Objectives are identified• Positive feedback is given• The learner is reflective

Aims, Objectives and Learning Outcomes
• Aims (general) are overall statements of what you hope the educational event will achieve. “The aim of this course is to give an introduction to educational methods in
gastroenterology.”
• Objectives (specific) are statements of what you will present to the participants. “To present current methods of how to train in endoscopy.”
• Learning outcomes are a set of statements setting out what the participants should be able to do or understand by the end of the event. “By the end of this course you will be able to conduct small group
discussions on gastroenterology topics.”

Knowles: The Adult Learner, A Neglected Species
Why set learning outcomes?
When learners understand how the acquisition of certain knowledge or skill will enable them to perform better in life, they enter into instructional situations with a clearer sense of purpose and see what they learn as more personal.

Writing Learning Outcomes
• Begin with a statement addressed directly to the participant:
• “When you have completed this course you should be able to:”
• Avoid vague words such as: Appreciate Know Be aware of
![Page 16: Principles of Adult Education](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102619/56812a5d550346895d8dc875/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

• Use words describing activities which can be observed, such as: State, Describe, Explain Identify, Analyse, Compare Demonstrate, Plan, Develop, Use

Adults learn more effectively where relationships:
• Promote mutual respect• Are encouraging and supportive• Accept diverse opinions but • Challenge ideas • Clarify difficult concepts
![Page 18: Principles of Adult Education](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102619/56812a5d550346895d8dc875/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

![Page 21: Principles of Adult Education](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102619/56812a5d550346895d8dc875/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Learning Methods
• Lecture• Discussion
open closed
• Experiential

A Lecture Is Best For:
• Revision of core material• Making general points specific for a particular
group• Persuading or comparing or contrasting
different points of view• Imparting small amounts of new material not
readily found elsewhere• Identification of links between different learning
approaches
![Page 23: Principles of Adult Education](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102619/56812a5d550346895d8dc875/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

feedback that you get• Keep eye contact• Summarise your talk – “take home message”• Terminate
![Page 27: Principles of Adult Education](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102619/56812a5d550346895d8dc875/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Evaluate your own teaching!
• Ask yourself – positive feedback, students’ progress, reflection
• Ask learners – 3 things you learned today, oral/written evaluation
• Ask a colleague – peer review
![Page 33: Principles of Adult Education](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102619/56812a5d550346895d8dc875/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Active reflection
• How did I make the learning points?
• Why did I do it in this way?
• What went well and what could be done better?
• How has it influenced me?
• What will I do differently as a result? When will I do it? How will I know I have done it?
