Adult Learners

Designing Engaging Instruction for the Adult Learners, the Law and other Social Sciences

Instructional design for the adult learner is a growing field of study in higher education. Engaging instruction for adult learners will be defined in this topic in two ways: designing courses using the significant learning taxonomy, and a paradigm shift to support faculty to involve student participation. The discussion of engaging instruction will be presenting using several research-based foundations such as Baxter-Magolda's self-authorship, Palmer's open learning environments, and Fink's significant learning taxonomy.[1]
