Lesson Plan : Metacognition

So..., what do you think? How do issues of memory, attention, development, and metacognition inform your thinking about your lesson plan?

It is really very crucial to consider these attributes when developing a lesson plan.   I have to recognize that adult learners learn differently compared to young learners.  Lessons should be based on the immediate relevance to their personal lifestyle and/or based on a timely solution for their career needs. Lessons for adult learners are results-oriented because they are seeking to learn the simplest and most efficient way to accomplish a task for practical use.   They are self-directed and accept responsibility for they own learning, therefore they need “take home” activities to support their acquired skills and quick reference guides to help them recall the important concepts they need to remember or give more attention to.
