Integrated Model of Effective Adult and Continuing Vocational Education and Training

摘要

The learning of adult and continuing vocational education and training is more likely to be effectively transferred when the learning objectives of the program relate to the learning needs identified. Besides building up the target behavior determined, however, for Effective Adult and Continuing Vocational Education and Training, it is necessary to understand the triggers of the behavior preventing the learning from the learning transfer. The goal of this study consists in developing a model of Effective Adult and Continuing Vocational Education and Training. Learning transfer as the behavior to bring over the acquired behavior to both similar and new situations is effective learning. The model to be devised will be a priori and synthetic. Essential properties and generalizations will be established by intuitive reasoning as a direct observation by the intellect and by deductive reasoning as act of deriving the wanted theory from a general theory. The newly developed Integrated Model of Effective Adult and Continuing Vocational Education and Training combines two strands of models: the model of the immunity to learn and the model of intentional behavior. The context as appropriate environment and the trigger as the mental state of the agent are conditions for effective learning.
