2. LEARNING
• The acquisition of knowledge or skills through study,
experience, or being taught. (Oxford Dictionaries)
3. ADULT LEARNING
• Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1913 – 1997) was an
American educator well known for the use of the term
Andragogy as synonymous to adult education. According
to Malcolm Knowles, andragogy is the art and science of
adult learning, thus andragogy refers to any form of adult
learning.
4. • In 1984, Knowles suggested 4 principles that are applied to adult
learning:
• Adults need to be involved in the planning and evaluation of their
instruction.
• Experience (including mistakes) provides the basis for the
learning activities.
• Adults are most interested in learning subjects that have
immediate relevance and impact to their job or personal life.
• Adult learning is problem-centered rather than content-oriented.
5. TYPE OF LEARNERS
Every student is different, it’s a good idea for teachers to
develop classroom strategies that incorporate different
learning styles for different types of learners. The VARK
model helps teachers do this. It is an acronym that refers to
the four learning styles: visual, auditory, reading/writing
preference, and kinesthetic.
6. • Visual
Visual learners prefer to take in information using charts,
maps, graphs, diagrams, and more. Using images to
explain concepts and ideas is the best way to reach a visual
learner.
• Auditory
This learning style describes students who learn best when
information is heard or spoken.
7. • Reading/Writing Preference
Students who have a reading/writing preference prefer
information to be presented using words. They love to read
and perform well on written assignments such as stories or
book reports.
• Kinesthetic
Kinesthetic learners learn best when they can use tactile
experiences and carry out a physical activity to practice
applying new information.
