PRINCIPLES
of adult LEARNING
Malcolm Knowles, a pioneer in
the study of adult learning,
observed that adults learn best when:
• They understand why something is important to know or do.
• They have the freedom to learn in their own way.• Learning is experiential.• The time is right for them to learn.• The process is positive and encouraging.

interest at heart."
” The morale of our staff is plunging. We have lived through many new initiatives and do not feel that our opinions are respected. We live under a 'just do it' regime.”
