UNDERSTANDING AND REACHING ADULT LEARNERS
Abstract
Advisors, faculty, administrators who work with adult learners need to understand them. This understanding incorporates learning capacity, learning styles, readiness to learn, and participation in learning. Advisors, faculty, and administrators use this knowledge base to 1) increase their advising repertoire, 2) change the climate in their classrooms, and 3) make adult students feel they matter. RÉSUMÉ Les conseillers, enseignants et administrateurs qui travaillent avec des étudiants d'âge adulte se doivent de les comprendre. Pour cela, il faut qu'ils soient en mesure d'évaluer leur capacité et leurs modes d'apprentissage. Conseillers, enseignants et administrateurs peuvent alors mettre à profit cette somme de connaissances pour 1) étoffer leur répertoire, 2) modifier le climat qui règne en classe et 3) donner à ces étudiants l'impression qu'ils comptent vraiment.Downloads
