Six principles of adult learning

Adults are autonomous and self-directed
Adults need to connect new learning with previous life experiences and knowledge
Adults are goal-oriented – and will look for this
Adults are relevancy-oriented
Adults are practical – seeking application of learning
Adults need respect and recognition for what they can contribute

– Malcolm Knowles
