Factor Description (Learners…)
Respect •need to be the subject of their own learning
•need to be free to decide what to learn like to be
part of planning what will happen during the learning
Immediacy • need to see how the learning can be used right
away
• do NOT like to waste time
Safety • need to feel welcomed and comfortable during

• need to have trust in the learning design
• do NOT want to be judged

experiences

*
*Adults are Autonomous and Self-Directed.
*Adults have accumulated a foundation of Life experiences
and Knowledge.
*Adults are goal-oriented
*Adults are relevancy-oriented
*Adults are practical
ALeGoRP

*
*Adults are likely to resist learning conditions
that conflict with their self-concept.
*Adults need to be free to direct themselves.
*Trainer must actively involve adult participants
in the learning process and serve as facilitators
for them.

*
*Learners should be able to relate what is being
studied to their personal/professional
experiences.
*Adults have a rich foundation of experience
with which they will consider new experiences
and their implications for work.
*Adults have acquired many fixed habits and
patterns of thought and, therefore, possibly less
open minded.

*
*Participants must be shown how the training course in general
and the session in particular will help them attain their goals.

*
*Adult must see a reason for learning.
*Theories and concepts must be related to a setting familiar to
participants.

*
*Adults are more concerned with their performance.
*Instructions should be task oriented, and it should take into
account the wide range of different backgrounds of learners.

*
*They are primarily concerned with the problem they are
facing in their job situation.
*Adult learners are generally more interested in the solution of
the problem rather than the content of it.

Motivation
Reinforcement
Retention
Transference

*
*A friendly and supportive environment.
*Correct level of course difficulty.
*Feedback – constructive and relevant

*
*An important technique for trainers when teaching trainees
new skills, behaviours and knowledge
*Positive reinforcement increases the probability of learning
*When providing negative feedback, do this in a constructive
way

*
Trainees retain information through:
* 20% of what they hear
* 30% of what they see
* 50% of what they see and hear
* 70% of what they see, hear and say
* 90% of what they see, hear, say and do

*
Some teaching tools are:
* Hear: telling a relevant story or experience, lecturing
* See: videos, charts, slides, performing demonstrations
* Say: open discussion session, question and answer,
feedback
* Do: case studies, games, role plays

*
*Transference is when trainees have the ability to apply or
practice what they have learnt in a new setting.
*Successful transference occurs when there has been retention
of information learnt.

*
*Clark (1993) cited one primary reason for a substantial
number of incomplete doctoral studies as a lack of
effectiveness on the part of supervisors.
*Your task is to design a training session for supervisors in
your department/school/faculty

*
1. Develop a plan for student supervision experience to be
implemented at your department / faculty /school /
university.
2. You may use any topics from this workshop (for e.g., Roles
and Responsibilities of Supervisors,, collaborative
supervision, etc.)
3. Present to the main group, the strategies and plan for
feedback.

*
*Target audience: New supervisors
(describe their readiness, learning styles and prior experience)
*Topic: Roles and responsibilities of supervisors
(or any other topics from this two-day workshop)
* LO:
(List two learning outcomes that you would like the trainees to know, do
and/or feel upon completion of the training)
*Contents:
(what contents the participants need to achieve the LO)
*Teaching and Learning Strategies
(based on what you know about adult learning, choose the best strategies
to deliver the training and to support the participants’ learning)
*Assessment
(how do you know that the participants are learning and the LOs are
achieved?)
*SLT:
(time needed for face to face and self-directed learning)
