This is because our brains are ‘wired-up’ in a way which is unique to us and our experiences!
Behavioural: • Functional and Scientific, Empirical and Measurable Cognitive: • Learning relates to the cognitive stage of development and how people learn • Theories of Learning
Humanistic • Focus on adult learning • Value driven • Natural desire to learn • Learners are empowered and have control over the learning process • Teacher relinquishes authority and becomes a facilitator • Theories of Learning
Pedagogy Convergent Rote Teacher Centred Androgogy Freedom Divergent Active • Pedagogy and Andragogy
Knowles believed that adults: • need to know why they need to learn • need to learn experientially • approach learning as problem solving • learn best when the topic is of immediate value • Andragogy (Knowles 1978)
Not beginners – in a continuing process of growth • Bring a package of experiences and values – each unique • Come to education with intentions • Bring expectations about the learning process • Have competing interests – the realities of their lives • Have their own set patterns of learning • Brookfield (1986)
Conducive climate established • Learning activities relevant to circumstances • Learner’s past experiences used in process • Engagement of learner in design of process • Encourage learner to be self-directed • Educator facilitative rather than didactic • Individual learner’s needs and styles taken into account “The purpose of adult education is to help them to learn, not to teach them all they know and thus stop them from carrying on learning.”Rogers 2001 • Rogers (2001)
