Adults are not children. They do not obey a parent or teacher.
Adults are not here to have fun. They are responsible and request what is recognised in them, this sense of responsibility.
Adults possess a human, family, social and professional experience that teachers should use as a support.
Adults work in a team, even if sometimes they also need to work alone.
Adults always combine theory with practice when learning.
Adults have a very good understanding of the logics of symbolic exchange: give-receive-provide. They will make more of an effort when they feel that the teacher is not sparing any time or energy; they will not hesitate to share their specific knowledge with others.
Adults need spaces to share with others and time to assimilate.
Adults always study the interest of their time for training.
Adults possess knowledge and can continue to learn, even at an advanced age.
Adults respect knowledge, but they respect human relationships even more.
Adults are not a “filing cabinet”…and are not interested in purely academic knowledge.
Adults are open to a multi-disciplinary approach to problems. They will often consider a question as “a problem to be solved” specifically.
