CAN ADULT LEARNING BE FUN.....read on

Yes, adult learning can be Fun and Highly Effective.....








At SingTrain Academy, we adopt these adult learning principles:

(1) Make Learning a Social Activity: Group activities and communities helps alleviate the effectiveness of one's learning experience.

(2) Integrate learning into life: Make connections to a student's work or life outside the training room is critical because it provides a context in which the acquired knowledge can be used.

(3) Enable learning by doing: Practical and On-the-Job Training is the best way for a student to truly gain mastery of a subject or concept.

(4) Make it fun: students who are engaged and involved are obviously more open to the learning experience. Fun is not just for children because a playful non-threatening environment also helps adult learners benefit from the experience.

(5) Build in formative assessment during training. Quantitative assessment becomes more difficult due to our content complexity. Also, practical skills may take time to digest and is not accurately measurable within the temporal course.
