Principles of adult learning
– Participatory - adults learn by doing– Self-directed and informal – They do most of their
learning on their own, jumping around to find what is most relevant and interesting.
– Connected to existing knowledge and experience– Practical and goal-oriented - learn what they need
to solve a problem– Convenient – barriers to real progress should be
minimized
