What are the principles of adult learning?
Adults learn best when:
- Their prior learning was rewarded (monetarily or with recognition)
- The subject matter is relevant to their perceived needs (professional or other)
- Interaction and dialog are possible throughout the instruction
- Self direction is possible
- Mistakes are seen as opportunities to learn
- Critical thinking, creative thinking, and problem solving are part of the instruction
- Practical experience is part of the instruction
