Orientation to Learning is Life or Problem-Centered

Orientation to Learning is Life or Problem-Centered banner

Training and education must be attuned to the concerns of the students. Adults are motivated to learn to the extent that they perceive the new knowledge or skills will help them perform tasks or deal with problems that they confront in their daily lives.

Learning themes should include materials that address real life concerns. Staff rides, simulations, and practical applications using realistic settings provide a problem-centered orientation. Those who are teaching can also demonstrate the relevance of concepts by relating them to the experiences of their students.
