Adult Learning Styles: Discussion on Kolb's Theory of Learning Styles and Silver and Hanson's Learning Style Inventory- Abstract
Abstract
This paper explores the
subject of Adult learners with particular bias to the various learning
styles exhibited. Adult learning styles have been ignored and considered a trivial component in the learning process due to the general assumption that adults are self-directed.
Research indicates that the lack of knowledge on learning styles by both the adult student and the adult instructor can lead to a reduction in performance and satisfaction of both parties. This paper discusses the different learning styles as proposed in Kolb's theory of learning styles and Silver and Hanson Learning Styles. The strengths of each style are also articulated and the significance of being well versed in the reality of learning styles to both the student and adult educator highlighted.
