Adult Learning Principles 2-2

This document discusses key differences between teaching adults versus children. It notes that adults come with existing knowledge and biases, so teaching requires unlearning old ideas before learning new ones. It also identifies four types of adult learners - prisoners who resist learning, vacationers who are casual, IKIA who want to know just enough, and explorers who seek continuous learning. The document emphasizes tapping into adults' natural motivation by showing what's in it for them regarding new skills or knowledge.
