Adult Learning Process
• EXAMPLE -
• You decide that as part of your employee
training program you are going to offer
coaching on handling angry clients. How
would the experiential learning cycle apply?
• Experience
You could present some content on the steps in
handling angry people, followed by a demonstration.
• Reflect
The learners could be asked to discuss the
information provided - what did they observe in the
demonstration, how do the steps in handling an
angry client compare to their current way of coping
with such situations.
• Think
The learners then might be asked to think
about how they can use the information
provided to improve the way they deal with
angry clients.
• Apply
Finally the learners would do a simulation to
practice handling angry clients.
