This study explores the implementation of adult learning principles in information
technology adult education and training in the Australian Capital Territory, Australia.
A set of adult learning principles is examined and interpreted with reference to
supporting and contradicting theorists. The development of these theories is also
explored in order to determine the changes in perspectives since 1900. Five of
Canberra's information technology adult education and training providers were
analysed. Surveys were distributed to trainers and students of these providers. These
surveys requested respondents to rate their perception of the extent to which each
learning principle is adopted in their learning environment. Demographic information
about respondents was also obtained. Responses were compared between trainers,
students and different providers. Results illustrate that the rejection or non-rejection
of many adult learning principles is highly correlated with this demographic
information.
