Adult Learning Principles

Education and Training

Adult learning principles, often associated with Malcolm Knowles' theory of andragogy, describe how adults learn differently from children, emphasizing self-direction, relevance to real-life experience, and problem-centered rather than content-centered instruction. Educators and corporate trainers apply these principles to design more effective workshops, e-learning, and professional development programs. Key concepts include motivation, readiness to learn, and building on prior experience.
