Overview
What you will study
Theory can be a scary word for learners, but essentially, it is just a way to organize thoughts and ideas around a particular phenomenon. Is there a "right" theory of adult learning? Or should we think of theory as a "toolbox", where you select the proper tool for the context. Are you bound by these formal theories, or as you gain experience as an adult educator, do you begin to form your own personal theory of adult learning?
This Theories of Adult Learning course offered by Dalhousie University will explore the ways in which theory connects to practice, how to utilize the principles of Universal Design for Learning, and how to foster engagement in adult learning experiences. Learners will also explore their own theory of adult learning.
Programme Structure

- recognize the principles of adult learning
