Before You Get Started
Before you begin this course it is important to keep in mind some important concepts about adult learning. These points will help you learn more and will contribute to more sharing of the knowledge contained in this course.
1. The first concept to remember is that learning is a process. From this you need to understand that learning does not happen in isolation e.g., at first reading of the material. Instead, it involves how you as the learner relate and even adapt this learning to your work environment. Once you recognize that learning is a process, you can then apply everything learned to whatever situation is at hand.
2. The second concept to be aware of is that every student learns in different ways or possesses different styles of learning. Although this may seem like an obvious point, it has many important implications to how you apply new concepts and skills to your work, home, and leisure environments.
3. The third concept to recognize is that learning is improved when it is goaloriented. Research has consistently demonstrated that, when clear goals are associated with learning, the learning occurs more easily and rapidly. To illustrate, people who learn to drive so that they can get to and from work generally find the experience easier and apply themselves to reach this end. In contrast if you were placed in a course without knowing how it could be applied to your work or home environments then the experience could be frustrating and the learning achieved not optimal. Again this may seem obvious but it is surprising how many participate in learning events without a clearly identified purpose!
