Activity 3 Learning methods

• Adults learn best through experience
• Learners retain only 10 of what they read, 20
  of what they hear, 30 of what they seebut 90
  of what they actively apply new knowledge to real
  life
• Active learning methods are used (e.g. small
  group work, discussion, reflection) and require
  your active participation.
• Were not here to tell you what to do. Were
  here to work together to get the best ideas out
  of all of us, and to share best practices!
