What is “Adult Learning”?

It’s a commonly held (mis)belief that professional adults learn easily. After all, adults have gone through school, may have bachelors or advanced degrees, and have professional experience. The reality is adults have unique learning needs that have to be met in order for new information to be absorbed and retained.

Adults learn differently than children. Our youngest learners are driven by curiosity and the need to understand their worlds. If you’ve ever gotten stuck in a “why?” loop with a young child, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Adolescent learners can sponge information easily. Adults, by contrast, are far more judicious in deciding what, how, and when they learn new information.

Leaders must understand and meet the conditions necessary for adult learning so that new informational content can be retained longterm. Without it, you may find you’ll have to repeat yourself many times.

Understanding and meeting the needs of adult learners improves the quality of your workforce, ensures your material is meaningful, and drives business.
