Some Contemporary Principles of Adult Learning
The process of action learning, founded by Reginald Revans about 50 years ago in England, is based on contemporary views of adult learning. Action learning asserts that adults learn best when:- Working to address a current, real-world problem
- They are highly vest in solving the current problem
- They actually apply new materials and information and
- Exchange ongoing feedback around their experiences
In addition, adults often learn best from experience, rather than from extensive note taking and memorization.
