Assignment - Adult Learning Research Paper

Select a Topic

Adult learning theories are important to understand because they guide the way that educators approach teaching content. In this assignment, you will discuss an adult learning theory that we have learned about and share how you will use this theory to teach others.

First, think about a specific topic or area of expertise in your life. What is something that you know enough about and are confident that you could teach to others? With that topic in mind, then, imagine that you are going to teach it to a group of adults who know little to nothing about it. Select a learning theory from the list below that you think would best help guide your instruction. Note: If you are interested in research your own theories from pre- existing knowledge, please seek approval from your instructor first.
Learning Theories

• Experiential Learning.
• Knowles's Andragogy.
• McClusky's Theory of Margin.
• Transformative Learning.

Once you have selected a learning theory, you will write a 2-3 page paper in which you do the following:

Question 1. Explain your chosen adult learning theory in your own words. What are its key components?

Question 2. Discuss why you choose this theory. What about it resonated with you? Why might it be a good match for your area of expertise?

Question 3. Describe three ways you may likely apply the theory in a classroom. What are some ideas that you have about how you could use this theory in a classroom (digital or face-to-face)?

Question 4. List some assignments or activities that align with this theory and could potentially be used.

Learning outcome: Defend the selection of an adult learning theory to support the development of an educational experience.
