What Works in Adult Instruction: The Management, Design and Delivery of Instruction.

Abstract

This report, a reprint of a special issue of the International Journal of Educational Research, is to provide summaries of research results for people who must design and deliver instruction. In the international industrial, and military training community these individuals are mostly subject matter specialists not extensively versed in educational research. Thus, it is important for them to have sources of understandable, accurate and reliable information about what works in educating and training young adults. The basic assumption we make is that this information can be useful for instructional decisions and improve instruction. Individuals involved in instructional administration, design, or delivery can benefit from concise descriptions of factors that consistently improve student learning: What works. This document is meant to provide recommendations in an easily comprehensible form as a guide for instructional practice, evaluation, to help planning and policy making.... Training, Instruction, Student learning, Instructional practice.
