You've been training Mental Health First Aid for a while, or you were recently certified as an instructor, and you consider the concept of learning styles (visual, auditory or kinesthetic learning preferences) while training groups. You even have your own preference! And now, there’s science indicating this doesn't matter?!? This workshop will cover some highlights of adult learning theory while taking a deeper dive into the concept of task-based learning. Join us to explore a bit about how adults learn!
Learning Objectives:
Describe several effective adult learning principles.
Explain why learning styles aren’t as important as they may have been touted over the last few decades.
Define task-based learning and its basic components.
