4 points of Effective Learning for Adults
Malcolm Knowles was a widely known and influential professor of adult education. He said that classroom lecture formats will not work with adults because adults learn in a different way from kids.

Malcom advocated :
Get your people involved in the training outlines. Ask what problems they are facing and what they like to learn. Think beyond classroom formats. Would a hands-on workshop and free-styled discussions on relevant business examples be more effective? Involve the trainer early to create relevant learning topics. Rather than learning 10 topics that does not apply to your work, just focus on a few that really matters to you and solves practical problems. The next time you are planning for a training program, take a leaf from Malcom. Why settle for a 3-day packaged class crammed with 20 topics and a computer exam to serve your training goals? Be bold. Go raise your expectations and see which training centers can match them! |
Hi, I attended your excel courses recently and am here to give my feedback. I think that overall it was usedful but I would have preferred a hands on workshop rather thatn a hands off seminar as i would feel more engaged. There are times where the steps a bit too confusing and I can’t catch them as I am not practising it so I will just switch off for a while.
Hi Joel. Thank you for attending our Power Up Seminars.
We will be offering future Power Up seminars as BOTH hands-off seminars and hands-on workshops as we have an equal number of participants who prefer either hands-off seminars or hands-on workshops.
