Module 1 – The Adult Learner Glossary

“I want, mainly, to prove I can do it, and to the other people out there that thought that I couldn’t, that I can – I just didn’t want to do it, but I really can if I want to.” |
Follow-up Self-Assessment:
Now that you’ve completed Module 1, we’d like to give you the opportunity to review what you’ve gained from your study of this topic by using a post-survey. On the survey, we again ask you to rate yourself on your comfort level and familiarity with the topics presented in this module.
Clicking on the link below will open a text document in a separate browser window. You may print the post-survey and write your answers, or type your answers directly into the electronic document. If you choose to type directly into the document, be sure to print and save your work and include the work in your records when you have completed the survey.

Review your responses on the post-survey. Are there still areas in which you do not feel confident or still feel unfamiliar? If so, consider reviewing that particular topic. The “For Further Study” links for that topic (on the right) should be helpful. We have compiled
a list of ALL "For Further Study" web links
from this module for your convenience in further studies.
Review Your Goals for Learning:
- Using your worksheet, review the goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the course.
- Did you accomplish what you set out to do?
- If not, what might assist you to reach your goals?
- If so, what’s next? How will you practice what you learned?
 |
Consider both your responses to the post-survey and your goals review. On your worksheet, state your goals for further study on this topic – The Adult Learner. |
A Tool for Further Learning:
During this course, you created a worksheet of notes, ideas, and thoughts on the topic of the adult learner. It serves as a record of your learning in the module and a resource for your teaching. Whether you are an experienced instructor or have yet to start your career, you should come back to these sheets after a few months and ask yourself:
- Have I seen evidence of these principles in my own students or in myself?
- Have I been able to implement what I have learned?
- Have I used any of the ideas generated or gleaned from the course?
- What do I still need to do differently?
- What do I still want to learn more about?
