22. Adult Learning Self-Directed Learning Critical Reflection Experiential Learning Learning to Learn

23. Self-Directed Learning Self-directed learning focuses on the process by which adults take control of their own learning, In particular how they set their own learning goals, locate appropriate resources, decide on which learning methods to use and evaluate their progress.

24. Critical Reflection As an idea critical reflection focuses on three interrelated processes; (1) the process by which adults question and then replace or reframe an assumption that up to that point has been uncritically accepted as representing commonsense wisdom, (2) the process through which adults take alternative perspective on previously taken for granted ideas, actions, forms of reasoning and ideologies, (3) the process by which adults come to recognize the hegemonic aspects of dominant cultural values and to understand how self-evident renderings of the 'natural' state of the world actually bolster the power and self- interest of unrepresentative minorities.

25. Experiential Learning Adult education was, therefore, “ a continuing process of evaluating experiences ”

26. Learning to Learn The ability of adults to learn how to learn to become skilled at learning in a range of different situations and through a range of different styles
