another program of study. They are usually in their late teens or early 20s. The learner who has been out of

school for many years and the learner who has children and grandchildren would be identified as a
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
returning adult learner. The learner who knows the routine of education does not provide sufficient
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
information for classification.

Informal learning experiences are those that take place outside a formal educational setting. A person who

cares for a disabled family member would gain knowledge and skill in providing personal care. An education

7. When a class of nursing students discusses their concerns about their program, the concern shared by

most learnersxl is generally the fear of
/ / / / / / /
a. succeeding.
b. economic problems. /
c. failure.
d. ridicule.
ANS:xl xlC /
Some degree of fear of failure is nearly universal and often relates to earlier failures or setbacks the learner
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
has experienced in other educational settings. Few individuals are afraid of succeeding. Uncertainty about
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / /
economic issues is common among students but is not as universal as fear of failure. Fear of ridicule is
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
rarely a concern; if present, it is usually superseded by fear of failure.
