How adult education should be structured
The goal of any adult education program should be effective use of the time allocated to ensure that the learners obtain maximum learning in the shortest possible period. The adult education program should be interesting at all times and be presented at a level that the learners understand.
Adult education must be outcomes based to ensure that the knowledge gained can be applied in the workplace and day to day living. As such practical classes should be a priority. The choice of materials used in the presentations and for guidance should be written and compiled in a manner that will encourage learning and promote understanding of the work. A combination of theory and practice must always be used.
It is essential to understand that adult learners are no longer school children and are capable of taking responsibility. Simply providing loads of information will not suffice. The training should be structured in such a way that it takes factors as listed below into account:
- The learners want to know why they should learn specific aspects.
- Experiential learning is a key ingredient to the success of the training programs.
- Immediate value of the training program must be observable.
In light of the above factors Triple e provides adult education that grabs the attention of learners and is outcome based. The learners receive overviews and well-structured course material according to the appropriate level. The well-designed courses are structured in a way to promote quick learning and to add immediate value to the learner’s daily functioning.
