23. Adult Learning Experience • In pairs describe one of your best learning experiences as an adult. • We’ll ask for some examples from the group

24. How Adults Learn Studies show that over a period of three days, adult learning retention is as follows: • 10% of what you read. • 20% of what you hear. • 30% of what you see. • 50% of what you see and hear. • 70% of what you say. • 90% of what you say as you do (e.g., orally work out a problem) (Pike 1989)

25. The Rate of Adult Learning The average adult can: • Listen with understanding for approximately 90 minutes • Listen with retention for approximately 20 minutes.

26. 90/20/8 Rule • No more than 90 minutes without a break – 60 minutes is better • Change the pace every twenty minutes • Try to find a way to involve people in the content every eight minutes (Pike 1994)

Be prepared to explain your choice • Now choose the principle that is most important to you as a facilitator and go stand by it. Be prepared to explain your choice

29. Using the Gallery Walk Think to the future: what prevention topics could be presented using the gallery walk exercise? Later on we will discuss other “activity blanks” that can be used to incorporate active learning into training delivery

30. The Four Stages of Facilitation • Anchor • Content • Application • Future Use What have we done in this training so far that is an example of one of stages?
