1. Explain in your own words each of the six assumptions of the adult learner
as outlined on pages 43-47. In 3 of your explanations, provide a personal
illustration of the assumption from your own experience as a learner. (20 pts)
Theory is how you decide to teach/instruct the way you do. The why and
the explanation or the reasoning behind the way an instructor maintains a
classroom, or teaches in general. Learning is the broader term. Learning
can have many different avenues in which it is display and played out and
education is one of those realms. The learning theory that made the most
sense to me was the field theory. I think there are truths to that theory and
it touches on the ways our mind and heart interact, touches on intrinsic
and extrinsic motivation and the importance and effect of other people in
learning. The teaching theory that made the most sense to me was
modeling. In past experience with teaching children or even how I was
trained to be a Christian and to serve others is through modeling. I can
foresee myself teaching with that theory in mind. I also think it is a very
good way to set the tone of your class and to quickly create a safe place
for learners to learn.
