Activity 3 Learning methods

Module 1 Introduction to the programme

• Adults learn best through experience• Learners retain only 10% of what they read, 20% of what they hear, 30% of what they see…but 90% of what they actively apply new knowledge to real life• Active learning methods are used (e.g. small group work, discussion, reflection) and require your active participation. • We’re not here to tell you what to do. We’re here to work together to get the best ideas out of all of us, and to share best practices!
