Teaching adults
Understanding the characteristics of an adult learner will help you develop training sessions that are appropriate and effective.
Adult learners are:
1 Self-directed
2 Inclined to use their experiences as a resource for training
3 Usually motivated by internal incentives and their own curiosity
4 Often interested in learning to address a specific problem .
Your audience
Be sure to understand the audience you will present to.
By conducting a needs assessment far in advance or a quick poll at the beginning of the training, you will get a feel for the experience and knowledge your participants offer.
This information will allow you to tailor your training to participants’ needs.
