What is one of biggest obstacles for adult learners?

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

Studies have shown that students who out of their own accord enrol in further education or adult basic training are often more motivated than others and know why they are doing the courses. Since they have goals they are more likely to succeed. Fear is seen as one of the biggest obstacles for adult learners. People with no prior learning experience or perhaps a bad experience as child regarding learning will fear the notion of having to step into a classroom. Overcoming the fear is not that easy, but at Triple e we help adult learners to quickly overcome their fear whether it is a fear of failure or humiliation, they soon realize that we meet them at their level. Our fantastic pass rate is enough evidence, but we do more than that. We create an environment where the adult learners are comfortable and ensure that we help them to succeed. Build worker confidence or build your own confidence by attending one of our programs for adult learners.

 

Basic differences between child and adult learning

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

There are a few differences between child and adult learning that necessitate the usage of a different approach when teaching adults as opposed to children. Studies have shown that adults often lack self-esteem when it comes to adult learning. People with no prior schooling suffer the most from a lack of self esteem and fear of failure. They have never been admired by peers for their educational accomplishments and the day to day frustration of for instance, not being able to sign on forms or read important notices, build up and eventually lead to feelings of failure. As such adult learning courses must be presented in such a way that learners will build confidence in their abilities and will see almost immediate results. This is what we aim for through our adult learning courses and it is also the reason why we have such a high pass rate.
