Most adult learners have different reasons such as work related motivations such as to achieve promotion, secure professional status and be a competitive individual. On personal motivations such as to expand social network, relive boredom, to have a break from home or work, diversify oneself from problems or a reason just for the sake of learning or fulfill an inquisitive mind. Motivations comes with barriers too with adult learners. Most of them have already responsibilities to balance with the study. Barriers can be lack of funds, lack of time, positive reinforcement, only a secondary priority to work and family needs.
A teacher is challenged to develop a plan and motivate the learner in different approaches depending on the learner’s receptive capabilities and type of learner.
Two Types of Learners :
Global Learners. These people are the ones whose attention needs to be captured using short stories, anecdotes, humor, and illustrations. They need to know what they need to learn and why they need to learn it.
Analytic Learners. These people learn best when information is introduced step by step and fact by fact.
Framework domains in which learning can take place :
Cognitive Domain. It concerns with the acquisition of knowledge.
Psycho-motor. It relates to the development of skills.
Affective. It is about the attitude formation of the learner.
