How Do We Teach Adults? Research investigating adults as learners
concludes that adults learn differently than children. If that premise
is true, then why do we so often teach them both in the same way? In
truth, many practitioners come to adult education with little or no
background in "adults as learners."
Through this online course, you will look at "who is the adult learner"
by looking at background statistics on "who takes the GED", learning
disabilities in adults, and what brain research says about how adult
learners learn best. Online activities, discussion boards and
assessments will keep you engaged.
