Introduction to Andragogy - Teaching Adult Students - March 5, 2025
Adults do not learn the same way children do. Unfortunately, many medical educators instruct their learners as if they were still in grade school. Developing educational programs in clinical learning environments that are not adapted to adult learning can lead to a lack of learner engagement. The purpose of this session is to explain the definition and origins of adult learning theory, provide a general overview of learning in adulthood, describe how to facilitate adult learning, and characteristics of adult learners.
