Adult Learning Reflection

REFLECTION REPORT Generally this journal article talks about the principles of adult learning theory and how these principles affect current and future training strategies. Through this journal article reading, I agree to state that this journal makes a good detail explanation on the points about the application of adult learning theory in the Human Resource Management context. It further discusses more on the training process which are needs assessment/analysis, motivation, reinforcement, retention

When I saw the first link, I was disappointed at first that someone had made the same analysis about the theory being black and white; however, when I clicked on the link, I discovered that the site SafeAssign found the same information on was a completely different topic – as well as a site I had never seen before. As for the rest of the links, I was wondering

Androgogy Reflection Many people think that andragogy is a theory of adult learning, Merriam, Caffarella, and Baumgartner in 2007 indicated that it is actually more of “an enduring model for understanding certain aspects of adult learning.” (p. 92).

The adult learning process is complicated to explain because one definition cannot truly encompass all the different ways and reasons people are continuing to learn after mandatory schooling. Jack Mezirow came up with a concept known as transformative learning to describe the adult learning process (Merriam, et al., 2014). Transformative learning is defined as making meaning out of one’s experiences (Merriam, et al., 2014). Creating meaning for our experiences allows adults to learn once reflection

This paper will discuss the utilization of the consciousness-experience-reflection learning process loop to instruct adult learners of varying ages – the youngest learner age 27, and the oldest age 74. It will highlight learning activities geared toward facilitating maximum learning experiences for all adult learner regardless of their age based upon aging cognition. A description of the various theories and concepts supporting the factors needed to be taken in consideration will be included in

significance of Lifelong Learning (LLL) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in relation to adult nursing. It has been suggested that LLL is too difficult to define, however it has been suggested that it is participated throughout life. It is important to discuss LLL, as it has many benefits within the healthcare system, as well as everyday life. This essay will explore reflection as a skill important to adult nurses, as this is vital in order to evaluate their own learning, which can encourage

- Benjamin Franklin Malcolm Knowles was an American educationist who firmly believed that adults learn differently compared with children, which led him to later propose the adult learning theory (Smith 2002). He introduced the term "andragogy" as the art and science of helping adults learn (Kaufman 2003; Kaufman & Mann, 2010). Founded on the key principle of humanism (Kaufman & Mann, 2010; Smith, 2002), andragogy is centred around the

remember the consequences associated with individual behavior and used this information to guide subsequent behavior. For example, an observed action elicits an instinctive drive to model the behavior. Although the social learning theory states that people learn by observation, learning does not always lead to aggressive behavior. The social cognitive theory (SCT) integrates interaction between behavior, personal factor, cognition and environment which is referred to as the “reciprocal causation model”
