Adult Learners

Adult learners are individuals, typically 18 years or older, who engage in education or training activities. Unlike traditional students, they bring life experiences, knowledge, and sometimes specific goals to their learning process. They often prefer practical, relevant content that can be applied in real-life situations. Adult learners may face unique challenges, such as balancing education with work and family responsibilities. Effective learning environments for adults often emphasize collaboration, flexibility, and respect for their existing knowledge base, allowing them to learn at their own pace and apply their skills meaningfully.
