Adult learning

Adult learning – a bit of theory

Assumption that we are dealing with adult learners and styles

Andragogy versus pedagogy – how adult learning is different from childrens' learning (in theory)

Learning styles

Auditory, visual and kinaesthetic learning


Adult learning (1)

Research and theory say it is different – what do wedo in practice? - do our curricula reflect this?

Many different learning styles – do we accommodate them?

Children's learning – product/content model; teacher-lead

Adult learning – process model; collaborative; skill andresource acquisition

Adult learning


Adult learning (2)

Plenty of theories and theorists about adult learning (eg Kolb, Knowles, etc) – but no one theory addressesall diverse needs, cultures, experiences – or ways thatadults acquire knowledge

Most people have a dominant and auxiliary mode – mediatedthrough various senses

Adult learning (7)

Auditory learners -

● listeners;

● may repeat to hear own voice and process information;

● or engage in mental dialogues

Adult learning


Adult learning (8)

Visual learners -

● prefer seeing what they are learning;

● pictures and images help them understand;

● may create a mental picture of what the person talking

describes

Adult learning


Adult learning (9)

Kinaesthetic learners -

● want to sense the position and movement of what they

are working on;

● 'get their hands dirty';

● often favour scenarios and labs

Marc Prensky’s Digital Natives

“Today’s students – K through college – represent the first generations to grow up with this new technology. They have spent their entire lives surrounded by and using computers, videogames, digital music players, video cams, cell phones, and all the other toys and tools of the digital age. Today’s average college grads have spent less than 5,000 hours of their lives reading, but over 10,000 hours playing video games (not to mention 20,000 hours watching TV). Computer games, email, the Internet, cell phones and instant messaging are integral parts of their lives.”
