Intercultural Training Theory

Andragogy – the process of how adults learn
Adults Learn Differently than Children
•The Need to Know – the more relevant the information to their lives, the more adults want to learn.
•The Role of the Learners’ Experiences – use life experiences to build knowledge. Use experiential techniques to educate.Orientation to Learning – life centered learning. Greater motivation to learn when adults feel what they’re learning will let them deal with life’s problems or tasks.

REMEMBER: All Adults Learn Differently!


From The Adult Learner by Malcom S.Knowles, 1988
