The document discusses Peter Jarvis's Learning Process Theory, which views learning as a combination of processes involving a person's whole life experiences. Jarvis was influenced by Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory. His theory includes three stages - non-learning, non-reflective learning, and reflective learning. It also relates to adult learners by acknowledging how their prior experiences and knowledge affect new learning. Educators can help adults make sense of life by linking activities to experiences.

experiences social situations, in which the content is
transformed and integrated into the individual's biography
resulting in a changed or more experienced person.”

12. Who influenced Jarvis Learning Process
Model?
David Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory
Learning entails four elements:
Concrete experience
Observation and reflection
Formation of abstract concepts
Testing in new situation

Built on foundation from Kolb's theory.
Begins with adult life experience or life situation.
Links the whole person.
– mind, body, self, and life history
Causes a disjuncture between person's biography and

– Non-consideration
– Rejection
17
18. Non-Reflective Stage
Some learning occurs. The
person:
– experiences pre-
conscious

experience
– memorizes the
experience or new

Editor's Notes
(Click video clip) Thought provoking clip----Reflecting on Life.
Engaging the audience:Say---after viewing the video clip, think about aLife Situation /Experience.Say--Take a moment and reflect on a time in your life when you were faced with a situation/experience that you were unprepared to handle. (20 to 30 sec.)
“Right or Wrong Decision”(Say) Did the reflection of situation/experience lead you to think you made the right or the wrong decision? (20 – 30 sec.)
“Emotions”(Say) How did you feel? What emotions did you feel from this reflection?(20-30 sec.)
“Change”(Say)Did your reflection change your behavior and how you now view the world? (20-30 sec.)
“New Learning”(Say)Did you learn something that would be useful later in life? (20-30 sec.)
Role of the adult learner:In this learning segment, we will explore the Peter Jarvis Learning Process Theory in which the whole person is engaged in assimilating and understanding information. When adults learn, they learn as a “whole person” in which the five senses (sound, smell, sight, taste, and touch) are part of the person’s learning process. Adults have a wealth of knowledge, with experience, and bring a history including present and future connections all of which contributes to the learning process. All of this helps us understand the “whys” of life including expected and unexpected situations. Once we understand why something is the way it is, weare able to make sense of life situations and decide whether or not it is beneficial for us.
Carter has died and Edward is speaking at his funeral---learned through experience or life altering situation.
Role of the EducatorExploring the role of experience in learning has a long history. We as educators continue to study or research the connections between adult learning and experience, and how to assistadults in both formal and informal setting so to capture the richness of learning from adult experiences (p. 185).Learning is about the continuing process of making sense of our everyday experiences (p. 425)Page 144-145 textOur concerns areHelp adults make sense of their daily lives.Link explanations and illustrations to adults previous or prior reservoir of knowledgeLink learning activities to adult learner’s current experiencesBe creative—create activities such as games, simulations, role-plays, etc. to help learnersmake critical reflection of assumptions
