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.
