Five additional training modules, one for each of the featured EM tools, i.e., EnTA, EnRA, RUEA, EP and EMS are also provided. Trainers have the option of offering these in a consolidated training package or of selecting only one module topic for one day of training, since these modules are designed to stand alone. In conducting this training, it is important for the trainer to be familiar with basic adult learning principles which ensure that learners become active participants in their own learning. Because they are faced with countless practical concerns in their daily lives, they will treat learning as a priority if they believe they will benefit from it, and can apply it to real problems. To be continuously motivated, learners also need to know how they are doing as they learn, i.e., to receive feedback.
Adults learn in different ways and at different rates.
Learning is affected by individual learning styles, personal significance of the topic and degree of participation. It is also related to the amount and timing of guidance received by the learner. This is why many trainers prefer to be regarded as facilitators of learning rather than experts. And while information may sometimes produce changes in behavior, learning can be more effective when it is internalized through experience and practice. Adults learn best over a period of time.
