4.Orientation of Learning

Orientation of Learning is closely connected to Readiness to Learn. Adults need learning to be applicable in their everyday lives. Adults don’t just want to know, they want the know-how to develop skills and perform better. General knowledge and information about a subject may not meet the learning needs of an adult because they want it tied to real-world applications. Furthermore, the learning needs to be goal-oriented and must be supported by measurable learning objectives to monitor progress and accomplishments.
