Abstract
This chapter reviews the adult learning theories and principles that guide nontraditional students. Adults learn differently than children do and come to the classroom with different experiences and motivations. Adult learning theories and principles, as well as learning styles, are discussed. Several of the major theories are considered, including andragogy, transformative learning theory, project-based learning, self-directed learning, and experiential learning. This chapter examines the applications of these theories, as well as how instructors can use them to guide their teaching in the classroom to enhance nontraditional learner satisfaction and retention.
