    Ramil Sucuano
    Adult learning can take place both formally in educational settings like colleges and trade schools, as well as informally when adults pursue education to learn new skills. There are several challenges to adult learning, including lack of time, financial barriers, self-doubt, and lack of support. Some major theories of adult learning include andragogy, which focuses on giving adults understanding and hands-on experience; transformative learning, which aims to change how adults think about themselves and the world; and self-directed learning, where individuals take initiative to plan and evaluate their own learning without assistance from others. Experiential learning also emphasizes learning from one's experiences.

    CONDITIONS FOR LEARNING IN

    ADULT EDUCATION
    What is
    adult
    learning?
    Adult learning is simply a situation where adults are
    pursuing education. This can be done in a formal setting in
    higher education, trade school, or apprenticeship. This can
    also be done for adults who simply want to learn a skill
    and pursue education in order to learn that skill

    LEARNING
    THEORIES
    ANDOROGY - Malcolm Knowles popularized the concept of andragogy in 1980.
    Andragogy is the “art and science of helping adults learn”. Andragogy learning theories
    focus on giving students an understanding of why they are doing something, lots of
    hands-on experiences, and less instruction so they can tackle things themselves. 

    TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING -Jack Mezirow developed this learning theory in the


    1970’s. The transformative adult learning theory (sometimes called transformational
    learning) is focused on changing the way learners think about the world around them,
    and how they think about themselves.

    SELF DIRECTED LEARNING - became a more formal theory in the 1970’s with Alan Tough
    and is used by teachers in a variety of educational settings to help improve adult
    learning.  (sometimes called self-direction learning) is the process where individuals
    take initiative in their learning—they plan, carry out, and evaluate their learning
    experiences without the help of others.
    EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING - David Kolb championed this theory in the 1970’s, drawing on
    the work of other psychologists and theorists. Experiential learning theory focuses on the
    idea that adults are shaped by their experiences, and that the best learning comes from
    making sense of your experiences.

    PROJECT-BASED LEARNING - As early as 1900, John Dewey supported a “learning by


    doing” method of education. Project-based learning (sometimes called problem-based
    learning) is similar to experiential and action learning in that the overall idea is to actually
    do something to help you learn, instead of reading or hearing about it.
