Adult learners are typically more motivated when the course content is relevant to immediate interests and concerns. Workers want more than facts and would rather receive information presented through problem-solving situations. Finally, employees will want to apply new skills soon after the skills are learned.
Learning styles
Learning styles categorize how adults take in and process information.
Effective training programs address each learning style and avoid long lectures or endless presentations. Training should be designed to present material on a topic and then break up the class with brief discussions, exercises, demonstrations, quizzes, games, or other activities to reinforce the content and draw out questions before moving on to the next topic.
