Adult Learning Principles
Malcolm Knowles
(1913 – 1997)
Name one adult learning
principle.

• Adults need to be involved in the planning and
evaluation of their learning.
• Experience (mistakes included) provides the basis for
learning activities.
• Adults want to learn subjects that have immediate
relevance to their work or personal lives.
• Adult learning is problem-centered not
content-oriented.
