Adult Learning Principles

Adult learning principles emphasize that adults learn best when the process is relevant to their lives and experiences. They prefer to be self-directed and to engage in problem-solving, rather than passively receiving information. Learning activities should build on their existing knowledge and experiences. Additionally, adults appreciate practical applications and immediate benefits from what they learn. Creating a respectful and collaborative learning environment enhances their motivation and participation. Overall, the focus is on making learning meaningful, applicable, and empowering for adult learners.
