Literature Review Analysis (Adult Learning and Student Success Research)
Moore (2010) makes a significant statement that “skillful decision – making relies on reasoning and allows the decision maker to take into account a significant amount of information and alternatives to arrive at a rational decision” (p. 6). Adult learning is a complex maneuvering process that requires the key elements that Moore is talking about because they are the tools that you need to ensure that you reach your goals. I agree with Moore that to be successful in obtaining your goals in the adult learning environment, you have to use your critical thinking skills to make rational decisions about what steps you have to take to reach a desirable outcome. Sometimes as adults we forget to look forward to the future only the here and now which limits us in accomplishing our long-term goals.
You start learning from birth and the process continues into adult life and in adult life you have to use your critical thinking skills to make better your judgments and rational decisions regarding the choices you make. Entering college is a life decision that should not be taken lightly because it involves so many factors that can complicate your life if you are not committed to accomplishing your goal of going to college and getting a degree. Moore (2010) also suggestion that “the use of learning tools such as research assignments that include application of critical thinking and decision – making skills to form conclusions are an effective approach to strengthening the relationship between adult learning, critical thinking, and decision – making” (pp. 8-9).
I am realizing that in life you go through trials and tribulations and that it is your critical thinking and decision – making skills that makes those trials and tribulations easier and that can bring harmony to your life and give you a sound and reasonable outcome. Learning is a process and the adult learning process can be complicated because you have to deal with so much more as an adult that it can take your breath away if you are not prepared and committed. This article is applicable to me because when I first enrolled in college I did not realize all the maneuvering, decision-making, planning and adjustments in my life that I would have to make to reach my goal of obtaining a degree. I can relate this article back to the chapters in the textbook on Prioritizing, Thinking, Learning, Planning, Living, and Growing because the article focuses on the key avenues needed to become successful.
