Highlights and Sticky Notes:
Adults
want to know why they need to learn something before undertaking learning
- This is something I need to think about a bit more when I design materials - Roger Harrison
The Learners' Self-Concept
- not sure that I agree with this - Roger Harrison
Facilitators should
create environments where
- but I agree this needs to be facilitated - Roger Harrison
therefore, tapping into their
experiences through experiential techniques (discussions, simulations,
problem-solving activities, or case methods) is beneficial
They want to learn what will help them
perform tasks or deal with problems they confront in everyday situations and
those presented in the context of application to real-life
Andragogy urges teachers to base curricula on the learner's
experiences and interests
richest resources for learning reside in adult learners
themselves; therefore, emphasis in
- this is very important especially from an online learning perspective which perhaps provides a range of opportunities and technologies to help facilitate this, but perhaps it is important to encourage the adult learners to bring those technologies to the course rather than the other way round - Roger Harrison
Discussion is the prototypic teaching method for active learning
- so this could be facilitated in online tutorial groups and if they are run regularly each which someone allocated to take the notes and provide a summary of the tutorial and then others can feed into that summary etc. - Roger Harrison
- I didn't find this article very helpful or informative at all - Roger Harrison
