2 second question
Self-Determination Theory
While designing educational programs, the instructional designer must keep in mind areas such as what the motives for learning are, how education leads to a transformational journey, how adults change and develop, how learning changes the adult, how barriers to learning and growth are removed, and how adults can be guided through a learning transition. One example of primary adult needs is acknowledging that as individuals mature, their self-concept moves from that of dependent personalities toward that of self-directing human beings. Adult learners often bring experiences and opinions to the classroom that are different from the experiences brought by traditional students, therefore, adding value to the learning experience.
