Learning Profile: Middle 30s to Early 40s

Paper Summary:

This paper compiles a learning profile for middle 30s to early 40s. Certain assumptions were made about this age group in order to classify the information gathered. It is assumed that this age group falls into the Generation X, or Thirteenth Generation of the United States, because the ages fall within the age ranges for GenX. It was also determined that this age group is a small portion of the late-boomers, or Baby boomers, due to the ages designated as well. The author discusses interesting facts about this learning population including that they are thought to be dependent on the instructor for direction and motivation, but adult learners are self-directed and self-motivated. This generation benefits from a myriad of teaching methods incorporated from both pedagogical and andragogical areas.

From the Paper:

"Learning Activities: Mutual Consent Motivated by external factors such as grade, learning activities should be standardized with uniform progression for all parties involved. "Learning activities such as internal areas in need of progress the educator needs to create conditions to help the student discover needs, and adapt to change" (Bale 2000) as quoted by Bale."
