Counselling and demand-driven adult learning

This paper advocates various rolesfor counselling in order to promote lifelong adultlearning. Demand-driven adult learning underlines theimportance for counsellors to recognize the widediversity that is evident in adult learning. The paperargues that counselling for adults must fully takeinto consideration adult learners' psycho-socialdemands and economic realities: the need for adults tolearn throughout life, the economic contributions ofunpaid work by adults, and the sense of socialresponsibility manifested by adult learners.Counselling faces formidable challenges when assistingthe adult learning process: learner-focusedinformation services, psychological techniques tostimulate and support adult learning, a self-efficacyapproach to adult learning, a gender-sensitiveapproach to adult learning, support for workplaceadult learning activities, school violence managementby adults, an active and productive approach toageing, intergenerational learning, and psycho-socialmeasures to remove barriers to adult learning.     

Pictures,audio, and print: symbolic representation and effect on learning

Can presentations by an iconic system (pictures) and a linguistic system (print or audio) aid learning? Tests given fourth-to-sixth graders showed that they alternate between systems, using each to assimilate information. However, when content differed between the systems — and this information was presented simultaneously (visual + audio) — processing of the information was not as effective.     

Proficiency theory of adult learning

The author's theory of adult learning and teaching uses proficiency as a unifying concept to relate acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitudes to improved performance, which motivates much adult learning. Proficiency is the capability to perform given the opportunity. An interest in enhanced proficiency encourages adults to engage and persist in learning activities. Effective adult learning is transactional and developmental, with periodic assessment of discrepancies between current and desired proficiency to assess needs, set objective, organize learning activities, and evaluate progress. Experience, learning effectiveness, sense of proficiency, and commitment to enhance proficiency affect the adult's search for meaning which entails acquisition of new learnings and reorganization of old. Effective teaching-learning transactions encourage adult learners to assume major responsibility for objectives and pacing, combine an overview of content with emphasis on important aspects, and contain a sequence of activities that encourages persistence in learning activities and use of new learnings.

经幡（藏语：“rung-rta”）“rung”是风的意思,“rta”指马,所以它有另一个更形象的名字：风马,把风当作传送经文无形的马,这似乎更加形象贴切。     

成人学习者远程学习适应性研究的思考

本文主要对远程教育成人学习者学习适应性研究的现状及一些问题进行了思考。认为应从多角度、多层次来理解和研究成人学习者的学习适应性:可以从宏观和微观的不同层次来分析和强调成人学习者与远程教育院校之间的彼此主动适应;可以从内外两方面以及观念、制度、活动三个层面对成人学习者远程学习适应性作一结构化的理解;可以从教与学相关联的角度,从学习者所处的不同群体层次来考察他们的学习适应性问题。在提高成人学习者的学习适应能力方面,除了学习者自身的努力外,还应注重远程教育院校对学习者的引导和帮助,注重学习者与他人(包括老生在内)全方位的人际往来。

试论反思与成人学习研究

反思已成为当今成人质变学习、非正式和偶发学习、叙事学习等多种成人学习研究的基石,其原因既在于反思的本质,也来源于反思性教学的影响及其符合成人学习的特点.成人学习研究中反思的目标主要在理性的认知、解放的行动、发展的方略和精神的联结.加强群体和组织的反思、厘清教师在反思中的角色、确定成人学习中的反思模式以及推动成人学习逻辑起点的研究,是反思在成人学习中需要进一步拓展的研究课题.
