Jarvis's Model of Adult Learning

Jarvis's Model of Adult Learning emphasizes that learning is a personal, ongoing process influenced by individual experiences, social context, and motivation. It sees adults as active participants who learn through reflection, problem-solving, and applying knowledge to real-life situations. Learning occurs both intentionally (like taking a course) and unintentionally (such as from daily experiences). The model highlights that adult learning is flexible, context-dependent, and driven by the learner's needs, interests, and circumstances, making it a continuous journey of development rather than a one-time event.
