ANDRAGOGY The study of how adults learn Founders: Alexander Kapp Malcom Knowles 1830

 A Need to Know  How?  When?  Where?  WHY??? Characteristics That Motivate Adult Learners

Training Tip  Explain why certain commands, functions, operations are necessary  Avoid explanations like “Because the manual says so” or “That’s just how it is”

 Foundation  Experiences  Both Positive and Negative Characteristics That Motivate Adult Learners

Training Tip  Instruction should be task-oriented rather than require memorization.  Learning activities should correlate to training content

Training Tip  Instruction should take into account the wide range of different backgrounds of learners.  Learning materials and activities should allow for different levels/types of previous experience with computers and other technologies.

Training Tip  Honor life experiences in the training session. Encourage discussions and sharing when appropriate  (be mindful of time limits! )

 Self-concept  Self-awareness  Self-perception Characteristics That Motivate Adult Learners

Characteristics that Motivate Adult Learners  Readiness  Is it relevant to my work and/or life?

Training Tip  The learning processes should be positive and encouraging.  Instruction should allow learners to discover things for themselves and should provide guidance and help when mistakes are made.

 Orientation  Problem centered rather than content centered Characteristics that Motivate Adult Learners

Training Tip  Training sessions that are lengthy may become overwhelming to adult learners.  Provide frequent breaks  Break up long trainings with a “stretch” time or group activity

Training Tip  Activities should be relevant to the tasks at hand while keeping trainees energized (small group discussions, activities that involve moving around)

LEARNING STYLES V = visual A = aural R = read/write K = kinesthetic

VISUAL LEARNERS  LOOK intently  Pictures  Color  Illustrations of tasks  Charts  Maps  Graphs  Picturesque speech
