Take the interactive
pretest to see what you know about adult learning principles. Read
Chapter 4 "Adult Learning Principles" and Appendix C, D and E in
Effective
Adult Learning. [If you have the Brookfield book, Understanding
and Facilitating Adult Education, read Chapter 5 "Andragogy:
Alternative
Implications and Applications." What is Andragogy?
(You should read this document carefully and mark it up.)
Andragogy
and pedagogy are discussed by Marcia L. Conner at the Ageless Learner web site.
A good way
to gain an insight in andragogy is to learn more about the "Apostle
of Andragogy" - Malcom
Knowles.
What are
the Seven
Characteristics of Highly Effective Adult Learning Programs (by
Dorothy D. Billington)? Are
they
based on principles of adult learning? "Teaching
Adults: Is It Different?" by Susan Imel summarizes the research in
this area. O'Brien
asks "What
are the Principles of Adult Learning?" and then proceeds to answer
the question. Read "Principles
of Adult Learning" by Stephen Lieb. John
Goodlad has developed six principles
of adult learning. Dewar has
developed a list of adult
learning principles from various sources. Find and read them on
his
Adult Learning Online
web site. View the PowerPoint
presentation on how adults differ from young learners. You can also
participate in our online version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire but
our questions deal with adult aging and it's impact on learning. Click
