This courseware reflects the views only of the authors, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein Project No. 2009-1-IE1-BRN06-007179 In training adults we take in consideration that: Adults will be more committed to learning when the goals and objectives of training are considered realistic and relevant to them. Adults want to be at the origin of their own learning and will resist learning activities they believe are what can be perceived as an attack on their capabilities. Adult learners need to see that the professional development learning and their day-to-day activities are related and relevant.

This courseware reflects the views only of the authors, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein Project No. 2009-1-IE1-BRN06-007179 In training adults we take in consideration that: Adult learners need direct, concrete experiences in which they apply the learning in real work. Adult learning has ego issues involved. Adults need to receive feedback on how they are doing and be shown the results of their efforts. Adult learners come to learning with a wide range of previous experiences, knowledge, self-direction, interests, and competencies.
