Abstract:
Understanding the principles and theories that are well recognized in adult learning can have a major impact on learning and teaching today. In an era with much less time with trainees and ever-dwindling experiential learning opportunities, the focus should be on maximizing the efficiency and efficacy of our everyday teaching. By conceptually understanding the myriad of relevant cognitive theories of adult learning, faculty can transform their teaching and the trainees' learning experiences while modeling and teaching the next generation how to invoke these strategies, forever propagating better teaching practices.
