Book excerpt: Research has shown that there is no better way to foster team spirit and promote harmony than to engage team members in experiential learning activities that impart lessons or encourage insight through direct experience or practice, as opposed to listening to a lecture or watching a demonstration.

Never before published in one volume, these classic activities-- personally selected by e-learning magazine executive editor Jack Gordon-- are those that have stood the test of time. Gordon presents forty engaging, excellently conceived and designed team-building exercises that help to build trust, improve communication, understand roles, and improve performance among team members.

Download or read book The Adult Learner written by Malcolm S. Knowles and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-20 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website.

Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.
