One characteristic of an adult learner is that they take a direct role in the learning process. A form of learning discussed in class that has this principle central to its theory is

A.

Active learning
B.

Lecture
C.

Self-directed learning
D.

Experiential learning

Correct Answer
C. Self-directed learning

Explanation
Self-directed learning is a form of learning where the individual takes full responsibility for their own learning process. They actively seek out and engage in learning activities that are relevant to their goals and interests. This aligns with the characteristic of an adult learner mentioned in the question, as they are actively involved in their own learning and take control of their learning journey. Active learning, experiential learning, and lecture may involve some level of engagement from the learner, but they do not emphasize the learner's direct role in the same way that self-directed learning does.

You have a client who has come to the clinic for therapy related to chronic ankle sprain. She is significantly overweight, has a history of smoking, and no real exercise routine. You are discussing the ankle sprain, how often it has occurred, and during what activities and you begin to notice some patterns. As you are discussing these with the patient, you mention the benefits of losing weight and exercising to the patient as a component of helping to stop the chronic pattern.

A.

Contemplation
B.

Action
C.

Pre-contemplation

In this stage, individuals are aware of the need for change and are considering the pros and cons of taking action. They may be weighing the benefits and barriers before making a decision to move forward.
