This document discusses adult learning and student-centered learning approaches. It defines adult learners as those over 16 who are psychologically independent and able to make their own decisions. Key characteristics of adult learners are that they are self-directed, draw on life experiences, are goal-oriented and need to be shown respect. The document also outlines Knowles' assumptions of adult learning, including that adults become ready to learn things that help address real-life problems. It then discusses student-centered learning, problem-based learning, and the learning cycle used in problem-based learning tutorials.

Teachers have a responsibility to encourage and nurture this movement. Adults have a deep psychological need to be generally self-directing, but they may be dependent in certain temporary situations dependent in certain temporary situations. Role of the Learner's Experience As people grow and develop they accumulate an increasing reservoir of experience that becomes and increasingly rich resource for learning--for themselves and for others. p g Furthermore, people attach more meaning to learning they gain from experience than those they acquire passively. Accordingly, the primary techniques in education are experiential ones laboratory experiments discussion experiential ones--laboratory experiments, discussion, problem-solving cases, field experiences, etc. Adult learning Adult learning Knowles Assumptions Readiness to Learn People become ready to learn something when they experience a need to learn it in order to cope more satisfyingly with real-life tasks and problems. The educator has a responsibility to create conditions and provide tools and procedures for helping learners discover their "needs to know." Learning programs should be organized around life- application categories and sequenced according to the application categories and sequenced according to the learners' readiness to learn. Orientation to Learning Learners see education as a process of developing increased competence to achieve their full potential in life. They want to g p p y be able to apply whatever knowledge and skill they gain today to living more effectively tomorrow. Accordingly, learning experiences should be organized around competency- development categories People are performance centered in development categories.
