  7. Five assumptions about adult learning • Adults are independent and self directing • they have accumulated much experience and knowledge already • they value learning which integrates with their everyday life • They are more interested in immediate problem centred approaches than in subject centred approaches • they are more motivated to learn by internal drivers than by external ones

  8. Self directed learning: associated traits • methodical and disciplined • logical and analytical • collaborative and interdependent • curious, open, creative, motivated • persistent and responsible • confident and competent at learning • reflective and self aware Candy

  9. Self efficacy A person’s judgement of their own ability to deal with a situation

  10. Self efficacy Based on: performance attainment observation of others dealing with it verbal persuasion physiological state

  11. Constructivism builds on existing knowledge / experience challenges existing understanding learner involvement in design allows time to consider new experiences

  12. Reflective practice Professional practice: “wise judgement under conditions of considerable uncertainty” Erault 1994

  13. Reflective practice Reflection in action deal with event Reflection on action learn from it ( from David Schon)

  14. Reflective practice Reflective practitioners often: debrief seek feedback keep a logbook

  15. Seven principles to guide teaching practice • learner is an active contributor • learning relates to real life problems • learner’s current knowledge and experience taken into account • learners self direct • learners practice and get constructive feedback • learners allowed time to reflect • role models powerful

  16. How adults learn: practical application attend lecture 5% reading 10% A-V 20% demonstration 30% discussion group 50% practice by doing 75% teaching others 80%

  17. What’s the hardest bit? Teaching about the interpersonal domain: instilling self awareness making teams work

  18. Requirements of good teaching (that can be taught) • set clear objectives • motivate (self and learners) • make it experiential • allow reflection • feedback during process
