成人教育学理论是马尔科姆·诺尔斯试图解释成人与儿童在学习方式上的不同之处。   马尔科姆·诺尔斯的六项成人教育学原则分别是:(1)成年人需要知道为什么他们需要学习某些东西;(2)成年人需要以他们的经验为基础去学习;(3)成年人需要对自己的学习负责;(4)如果培训能够解决眼前的问题,成年学习者会准备好学习;(5)成年人希望他们的培训内容会以问题为导向;(6)当动机来自内在时, 成年人的学习效果最好。   Andragogy 英文   现在让我们来看看这些假设。   成人教育学的六项原则   成年人需要知道为什么 成年人需要知道他们被要求学习的原因,他们需要了解“这对我有什么好处?”。 做到这一点的其中一个方法是将目标与能帮助到学习者本人的东西联系起来,求助于自身利益,而不是为了学习而去学习。 现在,我们来看看教育学中的第二个原则,经验。   成年人需要以他们的经验为基础 成年学习者拥有丰富的生活经验,这种经验应该为学习活动提供基础。讲师的任务是要去传达学习者的经验和材料之间的关系。 此外,学习者的经验可以添加到课程的知识库中,利用这种经验可以成为学习者的动力。 接下来,我们来看自我概念,即成人教育学原则中的第三个。   成年人需要有责任感 成年人需要对自己的学习决定负责。设计课程可以让学习者控制自己的学习方向,而数字化学习是可以为此提供帮助的一个绝佳工具。 当你有第四条成人教育学原则,解决紧迫的问题时,这种方法效果最好。   解决紧迫的问题 当培训可以帮助他们解决现实生活中的问题时,成年人的学习效果是最好的。当有直接的学习理由时,成年人的动机就会增加。 这将我们引向教育学第五条原则的信念,即以问题为中心。   以问题为中心 当学习内容以问题为中心时,成年人的学习效果最好。他们想学习能解决问题的具体知识、技能或能力。当成年人觉得培训现在可以帮助他们时,他们更有可能去学习。 现在是时候看看教育学原则的第六条,找到学习者的内在动力了。   动机来自内在 当动力来自内部时,成年人学习的效果最好。工作或生活形式的外部动机绝对是一种动力。然而,这种类型的动机通常基于负面情绪并且转瞬即逝。 内在激励因素是诸如知道某事使他们对自己感觉更好,或会给他们更多成长机会之类的东西。   将这些假设付诸实践 促进以合作学习为中心的积极课堂氛围; 研究每个成人学习者的兴趣和需求; 根据上述兴趣和需求制定学习目标; 以每个后续活动为基础,以实现学习目标; 共同制定教学策略、资源和方法; 回顾每项活动并在必要时进行修改,同时不断评估接下来的学习步骤。   结论 诺尔斯试图了解成人学习者的独特性,当你反思他的理论时,请考虑提出一些问题以及你将如何贯彻他的想法。
