Translations:Building a good learning atmosphere/14/en

Adults have definite emotional needs:

  • To be treated like adults (They want to be peers with the instructor.)
  • To direct their own learning whenever possible (Adults are self-motivated. They are at the training because they chose to be, not because someone told them to come.)
  • To know they are doing it right (or at least that they are trying hard)
  • To feel accepted as they are (Adults come in all forms and styles.)
  • To see a reason for the training (Adults want to know how the training is going to make a difference for them.)
