PRINCIPLES
of adult
LEARNING
Malcolm Knowles,
a pioneer in
the study of adult learning,
observed that adults
learn best when:
? They understand why something is important to know or do.
? They have the freedom to learn in their own way.
? Learning is experiential.
? The time is right for them to learn.
? The process is positive and encouraging.
