Maximizing Bbfor Adult Learners
Andragogy
Adults as learnersare different from
children.
Adults can articulatewants and needs(accurately).
The adult learner…
is independentwants efficiencyseeks new knowledgeneeds interaction for optimal learningwants a facilitator, not a teacher
Miss A, our quintessential teacher, knew exactly what to do with children. But she was caught off guard when her adult students posed questions like,
Wouldn’t you prefer an executive summary for that assignment?
and
Will you go out with me?
No man is an island…
but the online adult learner really is more independent than he or she appears to be, and that’s the case in spite of (real) needs for interaction and facilitation
Nalini Ambady’s research leads us to conclude:
Our instinct to meet learner’s desire for efficiency is correct.
Short branches:
a 3-minute video plus a transcript plus an audio plus an outline plus permission to make it 30 seconds….
Self-directive
learners
Given an adaptable environment, learners will flourish in finding
their own way
Barriers to learning:
Adult learners may keep barriers to themselves
