IDLA-610 Adult Learning Theory (3)

Andragogy is the art and science of helping adults learn. This course introduces students to the historic model of andragogy in practice. Students analyze a variety of adult learning theories and practice applying them using research-based models and best practices. The six core adult learning principles (the learners need to know, the self-concept of the learner, the prior experience of the learner, the readiness to learn, the orientation to learning, and the motivation to learn) are explored. Additionally, students are introduced to emerging trends that impact adult learning, such as neuroscience and technology. Grading: A-F only. Prerequisite: IDLA-600.
