Aus dem Klappentext

In the more than a decade since its original publication, Enhancing Adult Motivation to Learn has been widely used in all educational and training settings where adults are learners, and has remained a work of Anduring value to both practitioners and students of adult learning. This completely revised edition of Enhancing Adult Motivation to Learn offers updated, culturally responsive practical advice and strategies in the jargon-free, readable style that made the original work so popular. This valuable resource is for teachers, trainers, and anyone who wants learning to be a motivating experience for all adults. Wlodkowski reveals that motivation must come from within the learner. He explores the factors that trigger student motivation and shows the ways in which teachers of adults can create learning environments that stimulate and nourish the motivation to learn. Drawing from recent research in the fields of cultural and ethnic studies, communications, cognitive psychology, systems theory, and multiple intelligences, Wlodkowski shows how to use this information in practical ways and to the best advantage of adult learners. For example, he examines the role of culture and gAnder differences in student motivation and presents strategies for creating motivationally effective lessons for diverse adult learners. With each strategy, there are clear, effective examples solidly based on applied research. Wlodkowski identifies the characteristics necessary for a person to become a motivating instructor expertise, compassion, enthusiasm, cultural responsiveness, and clarity. He also analyzes four major motivating factors inclusion, attitude, meaning, and competence and provides advice and examples on how to employ them during the instructional process. Throughout the book, Wlodkowski provides a wide variety of detailed strategies for increasing learner motivation so that instructors can choose from among them based on the subject being taught and the learning situation.
