Stolovitch and Keeps's principles suggest that the following teaching strategies would be
effective and well received by adult students. (The words in parentheses identify the
principle involved.)
| |
 |
Case studies |
(Action; experience) |
 |
|
 |
Role playing |
(Autonomy; experience) |
| |
 |
Simulations |
(Action) |
 |
|
 |
Self-evaluation |
(Autonomy) |
Well designed case studies, for example, provide engaging vignettes of real-world situations
with which the students can identify and for which the subjects under study are clearly relevant.
Students are encouraged to augment what they are learning with insights from their own life
experience. And since case studies rarely have a single solution, they invite students to
define and defend their own conclusions and to reflect on the application of these solutions
in their own lives.
