Recognition of Prior Learning

“Adults are relevancy-oriented. They must see a reason for

learning something. Learning has to be applicable to their work or

other responsibilities to be of value to them. Therefore, instructors

must identify objectives for adult participants before the course begins. This means, also, that theories and concepts must be related to a setting familiar to

participants.”Stephen Lieb 1991
