The Adult Learning Theory COLL100 D143 American Military University Amy Peterson The Adult learning theory is a topic that depicts how adults adapt to life circumstances and styles of learning from childhood to adulthood. The basic grasp of how our minds works and operate under different situation and life demands. It is my in-depth interest in this topic that prompts me to do further research into this topic. To gain the knowledge and insight of how we obtain new challenges and develop our own style learning helps society move toward the Adult Learning Theory. In How Adults Learn, Marcia says, “people can learn from the moment of birth.
Fryer, the then Secretary of state for the Labour Party to respond to the Dearing report. Fryer’s report encouraged all to embark on a process of life long learning. This report was fuelled by New Labours New deal initiative to enable people on benefits a new chance to gain employment. ‘Life long learning’ was a net for the disaffected youth, who the educational system had previously failed. The Moser Report challenged further Dearing’s and Kennedy’s report by suggesting that the disaffected youth could be a result of deficiency in the basic skills of individuals such as literacy and numeracy.
Positive Reinforcement Case Study Shantel Rider ECE201: Intro to Early Childhood Behavior Management Instructor: Maya Raimondi September 30, 2013 Positive Reinforcement Case Study In case with Doug the 2nd grader in Mr. McGrady’s class the strategy I would use to address Doug’s behavior problems is criterion specific rewards. “Criterion-specific rewards can be used as part of a proactive intervention for managing classroom behavior. Students may earn criterion-specific rewards such as activities, privileges, and tangible incentives after the occurrence of an identified target behavior(s) at a set level of performance.”( Curran 2003) A reinforcement system supports students in making connections between a behavior and its consequences (Alberto & Troutman, 2003). Effective, criterion-specific rewards are delivered immediately; contingent; desirable and appealing to students; planned; and realistically attainable (Martella, Nelson, & Marchand-Martella, 2003). Rewards should be simple to implement, easy to record, inexpensive, and nondisruptive (Levin & Nolan, 2000; Smith & Rivera, 1993).

Just as the author, I have been alerted to grow up due to my transition as a high school student to a college student. Now as a college student I realize the value of time and my need to grow up to be more productive. Because when you grow up, productivity is what you learn and productive is what you learn to be. Here is where the author’s understanding of unproductivity also leads him to seeing the importance of productivity. Marginal places, people, and activities allow people to learn the meaning of productivity.
Due to individual beliefs, there are three different approaches and treatments that Jake’s psychologist could recommend. If the psychologist uses a humanistic approach, which focuses on self-actualization and free will, he or she might suggest that Jake is freaking himself out. He might say that Jake has low self-confidence and is not studying enough. As treatment, Jake should study more and take practice tests after studying to boast his self-esteem and realize that he can understand and repeat the information he has learned. On the other hand, if a psychologist would take a behavioral approach, which focuses on behavioral responses, followed by enjoyable consequences being enforced or strengthened.
Concepts and skills in literacy in one language will only transfer if they have been completely learned. Cummins calls this the “threshold hypothesis” and asserts that native language literacy can only transfer to a second language when students have reached a critical threshold in their native language” (New York State Education Department, 2000). When educators are appropriately trained to inspire LEP students to achieve to their greatest potential in their native language, these students will build confidence and skills in the second language. Teachers need to be proactive in ensuring LEP students have full access to content material and literacy experiences to help promote meaningful problem-solving and
Teenagers adapt to their surroundings in order to live, and in a non conventional sense, reproduce. The adaptations they have to make are a little different, however in a sense, it does include shedding one's skin and growing a new, possibly tougher one. High school students have to adapt to socially constructed levels; height, sexuality, weight, grades, social life, socio-economic standards, the list goes on. In essence, they survive by changing themselves, whether for better or for worse. For most teenagers, school is as much a popularity contest as it is an opportunity to further one's education, maybe even more so.
I think that a general education and/or college student would be able to use this as a self-assessment for researching a career path. Students who have learning disabilities and/or trouble reading would need the assistance of an adult. I did not find anywhere the qualifications needed to administer this test, but I would think any adult who could read would be able to assist another person in taking this assessment. The assessment booklet is laid out systematically and gives excellent explanations for using the booklet. I do believe that for a student to have the most effective experience, a teacher or counselor would work out best in administering the assessment.
From the moment we are born to the day we die, we are constantly learning new things. Some people associate learning only with school or other educational institutes, but we learn in different places and situations our life. In the 1930s, American psychologist B.F.Skinner proposed that learning is the result of the application of consequences. It means that any behavior that has good consequences will tend to be repeated, and any behavior that has bad consequences will tend to be avoided. B. F. Skinner defined this method of learning as a “Operant conditioning”: the type of learning in which voluntary reply is strengthened if it is positively reinforced and weakened if it is punished.
