I loved the fact of learning for different ages and walks of life.
Teaching adult learners will require a variation in learning tools. All students retain information at different levels and as a facilitator you need to add concrete, hands on activities that student to relate information too for future recall.
Some of this information I am familiar with. But, I have probably learned that my brain is capable of learning 400 new things per year. I was particularly interested in how students use the filters of deletion, distortion, and generalizations. Deletion for insturctors is hard because you don't want to be obvious with key concepts, but want them to realize they are key concepts.
I agree this gives me a better insight to the adult learner and how to structure things better for the class and them.
This topic gives me a better idea of the adult learning brain. It will help me understand my adult learning students, and helps me better assist them with the learning process.
