Adults possess both knowledge and experience and hence, don’t need to be told what to do, as much as supported in identifying how to take action.
Adults are motivated by their personal goals, needs and expectations.
Adults have an inner desire to find meaning, grow and seek change.
Adults are most effective in an environment that emphasizes self-worth and dignity. Learning is facilitated in an atmosphere in which people are encouraged to trust themselves, to make mistakes and to try again.
Adults, who are helped to achieve their personal goals, experience a heightened sense of engagement and buy-in.
Adults are capable of making decisions, taking responsibility and assuming accountability.
The adult’s orientation to learning is chiefly related to application.
