As I worked through my Master of Adult Education degree program, I
witnessed each of my teaching classrooms evolve into learning
communities. My rationale for focusing on a collaborative,
experiential, self-directed learning model is threefold. First,
education experts highlight that these types of learning lead to
higher levels of thought than does individual, teacher-centred
learning. For example, Johnson, Johnson, and Smith (1991) and
Gokhale (1995) identifies that collaborative learning fosters the
development of critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity
skills. Rogers (1969) acknowledges that learning will occur when
students participate in the learning process, when they have
control over its nature and direction, and self-evaluation is the
principal method of assessing progress or success; and, Knowles
(1975) recommends that every act of teaching should have built into
it some provision for helping the learner become more
self-directing. Second, as a business manager for 20+ years, I have
learned that if employees want to be successful, they must learn to
set goals, take initiative, and work as partners in their
employment ventures.
