Adult Learning Principles to Overcome Implementation
Barriers
23 | © 2012
Adults have accumulated a life of experiences−Realistic; know what works and what doesn’t−Able to build on past experiences and knowledge−Enjoy having their talents and knowledge explored
Build on prior experiences and opportunity
for practical applicationpreferably

Adult Learning Principles to Overcome Implementation
Barriers

Adults have established−Opinions−Values−Beliefs
Respect
Build on These
Adult Learning Principles to Overcome Implementation
Barriers
25 | © 2012
Adults are intrinsically motivated−Motivated by relevance of the material−Does it address one of their needs?−Does it address one of their beliefs?−Does it address one of their personal goals?
What is standing in their way of accomplishing one of their goals? How can telemedicine help them accomplish that goal?
Adult Learning Principles to Overcome Implementation
Barriers
26 | © 2012
Adults are goal and relevancy orientated
−Task or problem-centered learning more than subject learning
−Why am I learning this? −Will it help me accomplish something I am
intrinsically passionate about?−Will it help me address one of my personal goals?
Adult Learning Principles to Overcome Implementation
Barriers
27 | © 2012
Adults are autonomous and self-directed learners
−Learn best when they are “ready to learn”−A problem when their employer “forces” it on them
