The document describes Peter Jarvis' model of adult learning from 1987 and 2006. The model shows the learning process as a cycle with 9 steps: 1) a situation arises, 2) a person has an experience, 3) the experience reinforces existing understanding or leads to 4) memorization, 5) reasoning/reflection, 6) practice/experimentation, 7) a changed understanding for the person, 8) evaluation of the new understanding, and then back to 1) a new situation.
