2. Adult
Learning
Transactions
 Teaching is the process of attending to people’s needs,
experiences and feelings, and making specific interventions to
help them learn particular things.
 Interventions commonly take the form of questioning, listening,
giving information, explaining some phenomenon, demonstrating
a skill or process, testing understanding and capacity, and
facilitating learning activities (such as note taking, discussion,
assignment writing, simulations and practice) (what is teaching? a definition
and discussion, n.d.)
 Some teachers use traditional or non traditional instructional
approaches to help facilitate the learning process.
 This presentation will discuss
 Description of model
 Application use
 Andragogical principals are employed
 Characteristics/ learning styles
 Support Services
 Reflection of critical thinking skills/ reflection learning

3. Traditional
Instructional
Approach
 What is a traditional approach
 The traditional approach is mainly the focus on mastering
content, with less emphasis on the development of skills and the
nurturing of inquiring attitudes. Traditional classrooms tend to be
closed systems where information is filtered through layers to
students (Concept of classroom, n.d.).

4. Application of
traditional
instructional
approach
 Research-Based Learning distinguishes itself
from other forms of learning in that
 Learners should – individually or collaboratively
as part of a larger project – experience, shape
and reflect on research as a process
 Learners must be actively involved in shaping
every phase of the research process – from the
development of the research question(s) and
hypotheses to the testing and presentation of
the results
 The research project must be aimed at
generating insights of interest to third parties
Teacher-centric
classrooms
• Teachers in the
mode of knowledge
dispensers rather
than facilitators
• Chalk and talk
methods
• Regimented
classrooms

5. Andragogical
principals
employed
Characteristics/ learning style
 Visual learners prefer seeing what they are learning.
 Auditory learners prefer to hear the message or instruction
being given.
 Kinesthetic learners want to sense the position and
movement of the skill or task (Sally S Russell, n.d.)
Support Services
 Library
Tutoring
School Labs
Career Counseling
 Adult learners need to
