 Self-Directed
Self-directed learning is independent it provides the learner with the ability to make choices, to take responsibility for their own learning, and “the capacity to articulate the norms and limits of learned society, and personal values and beliefs.
Active learning provides students with opportunities to apply their own background knowledge or prior experience, and instructors with the opportunity to assess existing student knowledge.
Experiential  learning allows adult learners to make practical use of their knowledge and apply it in a context similar to the way that knowledge would be used in real life.
 Collaborative learning is effective for adult learners because it allows them to use their “shared connections and experiences to explain and build upon concepts from class in ways instructors cannot.
Narrative learning, adults are given the opportunity to form a link between “lived experience and curricular content. ]]> 2022-05-14 03:55:05 UTC https://padlet.com/vtezens/p76iyv4sk7mhhoq8/wish/2183623506 Role of learning facilitator vtezens https://padlet.com/vtezens/p76iyv4sk7mhhoq8/wish/2183624788 To be effective, facilitators must juggle many roles in a session.  Sometimes we strive to keep the group focused, other times we help them go deeper into a topic, and occasionally we try to keep them from attacking one another!

  • Guide: You must know the steps of the process the group will execute from beginning to end. You must carefully guide the participants through each of the steps.
  • Motivator: From the rousing opening statement to the closing words of cheer, you must ignite a fire within the group, establish momentum, and keep the pace.
  • Bridge builder: You must create and maintain a safe and open environment for sharing ideas. Where other people see differences, you must find and use similarities to establish a foundation for building bridges to consensus.
  • Clairvoyant: Throughout the session, you must watch carefully for signs of potential strain, weariness, aggravation, and disempowerment—and respond in advance to avoid dysfunctional behavior.
  • Praiser: At every opportunity, you should praise participants for the effort they put forth, the progress they make, and the results they achieve. Praise well, praise often, praise specifically.
  • Peacemaker: Although it is almost always better to avoid a direct confrontation between participants, should such an event occur, you must quickly step in, reestablish order, and direct the group toward a constructive resolution.
  • Taskmaster: You are ultimately responsible for keeping the session on track; this entails tactfully cutting short irrelevant discussions, preventing detours, and maintaining a consistent level of detail throughout the session.
  • Active Listener: You must listen carefully to the discussion and be able to quickly analyze and compare comments and to formulate questions that help manage the group discussion and challenge the group when appropriate.

    Connectivism
    Learning through connections in networks of people.

    Neuroscience
    Is how the brain learns: By connecting what it already knows, looking for patterns, emotions, and experiences.

    Transformative
    Learning through a change of perspective through critical reflection of beliefs and assumptions.

    Spiritual
    People construct knowledge through past experiences. Experiences can be from images, songs, stories, rituals, or other experiences that help integrate knowledge in new ways.

    Embodied
    Embodied learning is an awareness of bodily experiences as sources of knowledge.
