ED112R - Enhancing the Motivation of Adult Students

This course is intended to help instructors motivate their adult students. Modules 1, 2, and 3 review characteristics of adult learners and explain issues that affect motivation. Module 4 includes a discussion of the basic classes of motivators.

Modules 2 and 3 focus on two major topics that influence adult education. These are security and autonomy, both of which can be enhanced using motivational strategies. We will often refer to andragogy, which is the art and science of helping adults learn. Andragogy emphasizes methods and techniques that are self-directed, feature relevant learning, and teach real-world skills. You will learn effective motivational techniques that help adult students feel secure and enjoy a degree of control over their learning process.
