Adult Learning Styles
MacKeracher
(2004, p.74) asserts that learning refers to the content of thought or to what
we learned, learning styles explicitly refer to how we have learned it".
Learning styles are achieved by combining a number of learning strategies to come up with particular learning styles. Many adult learners can implement several strategies of learning but often prefer to rely on the strategy they know best. It is widely agreed by educators all over the world that students who actively engage in the learning process are likely to achieve greater success. This assertion is backed by numerous education literature which reveals that once students are engaged in a particular learning process that suits them, they feel empowered and their propensity for higher personal achievements significantly rises. The significance of learning styles springs from the fact that "each adult has personally preferred strategies for processing information and for learning" (MacKeracher, 2004, p.79). It is these strategies that determine the manner in which the adult learner goes about the learning task.
