View Academic Calendar
 

This course provides students with a foundation and perspective on the nature of adult learning, particularly adult learning across the human life cycle. Students will examine the ideas of learning theorists and practitioners from the fields of education and address the relationship between theories of adult learning and teaching methods in applied settings. Students also address learning methods used by adults in everyday life and the incorporation of such natural methods into a concept of “lifelong learning” for adults.
