3. Objective
At the end of this presentation ,the students will be able to : 1-Identify the developmental stage of adulthood 2- Identify adult learning principles. 3- Identify teaching strategies for adult

4. Introduction
-Learning is a lifelong process that begins at birth and does not cease until the end of life .
-Growth and development are a process of becoming , and learning is inextricably a part of that process .
-As individual matures ,learning is a significant and continuous task to maintain and enhance oneself

5. The developmental stage for :adulthood
-Young adult stage (20-40 years of age)
-middle age adult stage (41-64 years of age)
-Older adult stage (65 years of age and older)

6. Adult learning theory :
Andragogy : the term coined by Knowles(1990)to describe his theory of adult learning ,is the art and science of teaching adult .
-Education within this framework is more learner centered and less teacher centered .
-The power relationship between the educator and the adult learner is much more horizontal .

7. *Basic assumptions of Knowles’s framework have major implications for planning ,implementing and evaluating teaching programs for adult as the individual matures :
1.His or her self-concept move from one of being a dependent personality to being an independent ,self-directed human being.
2.He or she accumulates a growing reservoir of previous experience that serves as a rich resource for learning .
3. Readiness to learn becomes increasingly oriented to the developmental task of social roles.

8. 4.The perspective of time changes from one of postponed application of knowledge to one of immediate application ; there is a shift in orientation of learning to being problem centered rater than subject centered 5. Motivated to learn

10. limitations :
A limitation of Knowles’s assumption about child versus adult learner is that they are derived from studies conducted on healthy people. -It is important to keep in mind , however , That illness have the potential for significantly changing cognitive and psychological process used for learning

11. Adult learning principles
1- Learning is related to an immediate need ,problem ,or deficit . 2-Learning is voluntary and self initiated 3-Learning is person centered and problem centered . 4- Learning is self controlled and self directed . 5-The role of the teacher is one facilitator

12. 6-Information and assignment are printed
6-Information and assignment are printed . 7-New material draws on past experience and is related to something the learner already knows. 8-The threat to self is reduced to maintain in the educational situation . 9-The learner is able to participate actively in the learning process

13. 10-The learner is able to learn in group
10-The learner is able to learn in group The nature of the learning activity change frequently . 12-Learning is reinforced by application and prompt feedback

14. The general orientation of adult toward continuing education :
1.Goal oriented learner : engage in educational endeavors to accomplish and identifiable objectives .
2.Activity oriented learner :select educational activities primarily to meet social needs.
3.learning oriented learner : view themselves as perpetual students who seek knowledge for knowledge’s sake.

15. Young adulthood (20-40 years of age ) :
