Why This Workshop On Adult Learners?
• Is learning the same as changing
behavior?
• How and to what degree will our behavior
change because of what we learn?
– Theory of Diffusion of Innovation
• How can you design your training so that
you can encourage more “adoption”?

Theory of Diffusion of Innovation
• "the process by which an innovation or
technology is communicated through
certain channels over time among the
members of a social system”. – Rogers, 1962

Theory of Diffusion of Innovation
• Innovators- first to adopt, risk takers, youngest, higher social class, and great financial ability, very social, close contact to scientific or educational sources.
• Early Adopters- highest degree of opinion leadership. Younger in age, a higher social status, more financial resources, advanced education, and are more socially forward than late adopters .
• Early Majority- adoption is significantly longer than the innovators and early adopter. have above average social status, contact with early adopters, and show some opinion leadership.
• Late Majority- skeptical about an innovation, have below average social status, very little financial lucidity, in contact with others in late majority and early majority, very little opinion leadership.
• Laggards- aversion to change. Focused on “traditions”, have lowest social status, lowest financial fluidity, oldest of all other adopters, in contact with only family and close friends, very little to no opinion leadership.

How can you design your training
to encourage greater “adoption”?
• Think about who will attend…
– Encourage engaging Early Adopters and
Early Majority to influence others as teachers
and community organizers for change.
– Apply effective “learning” techniques and
“persuasion” as part of the teaching process
to engage late adopters.

![Page 14: Training Adult Learners for Behavior Change](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021800/620d14b2d0f2ec6c815ba60d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Adult Learners
• What do we know for sure:
– Adults tend to be self directed
– Adults have rich and varied experiences that
they can draw upon.
– Adults are clear about what they want to
learn.
– Adults are competency based learners-they
learn what they can apply pragmatically to
their immediate circumstances.
![Page 15: Training Adult Learners for Behavior Change](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021800/620d14b2d0f2ec6c815ba60d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Simple Principles of Adult Learning
• Adults learn best when they are actively
involved in the learning process.
• Adults have strong learning preferences,
biases and comfort levels.
• You should use a variety of
techniques/methods to ensure a match for
their preferred learning style.

Factors that Influence Our Learning
• Physical
– Learning Setting
– Time of Day
• Emotional
– Social Needs
– Motivation
• Intellectual
– Learning Styles
![Page 19: Training Adult Learners for Behavior Change](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021800/620d14b2d0f2ec6c815ba60d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Learning Brain
• Accelerated Learning = Multi-sensory
brain compatible way of learning
• Left-Brain, Right-Brain Theory: Two
brains in one
– Left Brain-”Logical” traits
– Right Brain-”Creative” traits
![Page 20: Training Adult Learners for Behavior Change](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021800/620d14b2d0f2ec6c815ba60d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Characteristics
• Left Brain-Logical
Traits
– Language (read/write)
– Solve math problems
or puzzles
– Process linear
• The Big Picture:
– Separate parts that
make up a whole
• Right Brain-Creative
Traits
– Verbal
– Art, graphic
– Visionary
– Stimulated
• The Big Picture:
– Combine parts to
create a whole
![Page 21: Training Adult Learners for Behavior Change](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021800/620d14b2d0f2ec6c815ba60d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Summary
• People need and use both sides in seamless unity.
• People don’t think solely with one hemisphere or the other.
• The more stimulated and connected the two halves are, the great the brain’s potential is for learning.
• The best learning occurs with a variety of senses being stimulated to help both sides function together.

Multiple Intelligences Theory-
a system of eight distinct
intelligences…
• Verbal-Linguistic
• Visual-Spatial
• Musical-Rhythmic
• Intrapersonal
• Logical-Mathematical
• Bodily-Kinesthetic
• Naturalistic
• Interpersonal
![Page 24: Training Adult Learners for Behavior Change](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021800/620d14b2d0f2ec6c815ba60d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Your Task:
Compare the “intelligences” and
their corresponding activities
references, with the previous
page. Which intelligences do
YOU fit into most?
Checkmark those boxes
![Page 25: Training Adult Learners for Behavior Change](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021800/620d14b2d0f2ec6c815ba60d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Summary of the Eight Intelligences
• Everyone possess all 8 intelligences to some degree. We differ depending upon how we use all 8 individually.
• They work together in complex ways that are defined by individual, social, and cultural preferences.
• There are no standard set of attributes that one must have to be considered intelligent in a specific area.
![Page 26: Training Adult Learners for Behavior Change](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021800/620d14b2d0f2ec6c815ba60d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Summary of the Eight Intelligences
• The Theory shows a way to build
curriculum or training plants for maximum
learning impact.
• The more intelligences you build in to a
program, the deeper, more inclusive and
more thorough the learning will be.
• Think of Sesame Street:

Now…how to design a workshop
and develop (your blueprint)
• Assess your Audience…
– Who are they?
– What do they do?
– What do they already know?
– What kind of learning environment are they
used to?
![Page 33: Training Adult Learners for Behavior Change](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021800/620d14b2d0f2ec6c815ba60d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Your blueprint for interactive
content…
• Key components of the Blueprint
– Course topics
– Course objective
– Instructional strategy (Disclose, discuss, do?)
– Instructional method (Discussion, activity)
– Time
![Page 34: Training Adult Learners for Behavior Change](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021800/620d14b2d0f2ec6c815ba60d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Common Problems When
Conducting Training
• Non-communicative group or individuals…
• Compulsive, insistent talker…
• You lose control of the presentation/class..
• The group gets off topic…
![Page 39: Training Adult Learners for Behavior Change](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021800/620d14b2d0f2ec6c815ba60d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Evaluate Interactive Training
• You can evaluate the individual programs
for quality and immediate impact.
• You can evaluate for impact and behavior
change.
![Page 40: Training Adult Learners for Behavior Change](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021800/620d14b2d0f2ec6c815ba60d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Evaluation
• Sample methods to evaluate the qualtiy
and immediate impact of your training
– + and ++
– The Bull’s Eye
– Polling or Turning Point Clickers
– Index cards with ratings or comments:
– Follow up on-line surveys: https://ucce.ucdavis.edu/survey/surveyadmin/surveylist.cfm
– http://www.surveymonkey.com/
![Page 41: Training Adult Learners for Behavior Change](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021800/620d14b2d0f2ec6c815ba60d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Evaluate your impact
• Objective was to change behavior…
– Surveys over time • Before the training
• At the end of the training
• In 3 months
• In 6 months
– Evaluate the results of the intended impact • Less water used
• Less to the landfill
