Traditional adult learners are individuals who are in their late teens or early 20s who have
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
come to the practical/vocational program directly from high school or another program of
L L L L L L L L L L L L L
study. A returning adult learner is someone who has been out of school for several years. A
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
person in needed of counseling is commonly a student who has been evaluated by the
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
instructor as having areas that need improvement. This student is a traditional adult learner, and
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
traditional adult learners are accustomed to formal education.

3. A nursing student states, “I have taken advantage of informal learning experiences.” Another
L L L L L L L L L L L L
student asks, “Could you give me an example?” The best example of an informal learning
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
experience is

succeeding. Uncertainty about economic issues is common among students but is not as
L L L L L L L L L L L L L
universal as fear of failure. Fear of ridicule is rarely a concern; if present, it is usually
