| Description: | |||
| This unit examines the concept of adult learning from the point of view of the adult learner as an individual, the adult learning process and the adult in the social learning context. Aspects of the adult as a mature learner, such as the role of previous experience and the nature of adult attributions, will be examined. Theories of adult learning will be investigated to determine best practices for facilitating adult learning. The unique socio-cultural context of the adult learner will be examined to help understand the way in which adults make choices about what to learn and to assist in the determination of appropriate learning opportunities.
