Using adult education techniques to teach--not to train--home care aides.
With much to learn in a short time, home care aide students need teachers to maximize learning by conducting a course that is student centered, the way home care is client centered. Standard adult education techniques emphasize recognizing the characteristics of adult learners; they also promote the self-respect of home care aides as they prepare for their increasing responsibilities.
