KEY LEARNING PRINCIPLES
Before we begin this training module it is important we keep in mind someimportant concepts about adult learning. These points will help us all learn moreand will contribute to a better sharing of the knowledge contained in thistraining module.If you are learning the course by yourself then take your time and read over the notes until you are comfortable with the material.If you are learning this material as part of a training session make sure to ask questions. We are confident that you will be glad that you did.The first concept to remember is that
learning is a process
. From this we needto understand that learning does not happen in isolation e.g., at today’s trainingevent or at first reading of this material. Instead it involves how you as thelearner relate and even adapt this learning to your work and homeenvironments. Once we recognize that learning is a process we can then applyeverything learnt to whatever situation is at hand.The second concept to be aware of is that
we all learn in different ways
or possess different styles of learning.
Although this may seem like an obvious point, it has many important implications for the session today. As the training progresses the trainer will ask
‘is everything OK so far’
or
‘do you understand everything so far’
and many may state that they are happy with the progress.However, it is quite likely that all participants may not be learning in the sameway or at the same pace. As a result don’t be afraid to ask questions becausewhat might be easy to some may be harder for others and vice-versa. It is alsoimportant to have patience if you feel the course is going to slow as it mayactually be too fast for others. We all never know when we personally may needsome extra time to understand things and will appreciate others support whenthis happens. What is important today is that everyone learns and hopefullymeets their expectations from the course.The third concept to recognize is that
learning is improved when it is goal-directed
. Research has consistently demonstrated that when clear goals areassociated with learning that the learning occurs more easily and rapidly. Toillustrate, people who learn to drive so that they can get to and from work generally find the experience easier and apply themselves to reach this end. Incontrast if you were placed on a course not knowing how it could be applied toyour working or home environments then the experience could be frustrating
