The extent to which selected adult learning principles were used by the faculty members of the College of Education of the Institute of Teacher Training and Education-Padang

Aliasar, A. January 1988 (has links)
The main purposes of this study were to learn how frequently the faculty members of the College of Education used selected adult learning principles in teaching and how aware their students were of being taught with those principles. Five principles of adult learning were measured: (1) using the experiences of learners in teaching, (2) allowing for individual differences, (3) allowing for different teaching and learning styles, (4) guidance toward self-directed learning, and (5) providing evaluation/feedback.Respondents of this study consisted of all faculty members (the number was 82) and 160 students. Data were collected by using two six-point scale instruments.Findings1. Responses of the faculty members classified by departmental membership, sex, age, years of teaching experience, civil service grade, and language used at home, how frequently they used the five selected adult learning principles were almost the same in all classifications, except the responses of the faculty members who spoke in the Indonesian language in their use of the principle of using the experiences of learners in teaching. 2. Responses of the students classified by departmental major, sex, years of study, and part-time and full-time status about how frequently their teachers used the five selected adult learning principles indicated almost the same percentages among sub-classifications.3. Faculty members' reports were higher or "different" from students' reports about using the principles of (1) using the experiences of learners in teaching, and (2) providing evaluation/feedback. Faculty members' reports were "almost the same" as students' reports about using the principles of (1) allowing for individual differences, (2) allowing for different teaching and learning styles, and (3) guidance toward self-directed learning.Conclusions1. Seemingly, classification by department, sex, age, years of teaching experience, civil service grade, and language used at home did not influence how frequently the five selected adult learning principles were used by the faculty members, except in their use of the principle of using the experiences of learners in teaching by the faculty members who spoke the Indonesian language.2. Seemingly, classification by department, sex, years of study, and part-time and full-time status did not influence how frequently students reported being taught using the five selected adult learning principles.3. Faculty members reported use of the five selected adult learning principles were almost the same as students' reported experiences of being taught with those principles, with the exception of the principles of (1) using the experiences of learners in teaching, and (2) providing evaluation/feedback, which were higher than students' reports. / Center for Lifelong Education
