How do effective learning processes work?

To achieve the goal of learning—the retrieval of acquired information—people absorb information stimuli in order to process and store them in the brain. Through sufficient repetition, the stimulus moves from the ultra-short-term memory, through short-term memory, and finally into long-term memory. Which learning methods and strategies are suitable for effective learning depends, among other things, on one's individual learning style. Various theories categorize people into learning styles. One of the best-known theories is that of Vester: he divides learners into auditory, visual, communicative, and kinesthetic learners. Kolb, on the other hand, classifies people in his theory as pragmatists, explorers, thinkers, and decision-makers. Depending on the learning style, certain learning methods are more or less suitable; nevertheless, regardless of the learning style, as many senses and channels as possible should be engaged.

Lifelong learning in a digital context

Digital transformation brings with it many new challenges as well as new opportunities. Digital media and the internet enable new ways of learning and make learning materials and programs available on mobile devices and in between other activities. Examples include gamification, e-learning, and mobile learning. Therefore, it is important not to resist new technologies. Only those who are willing to embrace digital transformation and learn from the new circumstances will achieve long-term success, both personally and professionally. A digital growth mindset is crucial for this development. A growth mindset describes a way of thinking that learning is a lifelong process and that intelligence is malleable rather than innate. In the digital context, a growth mindset encourages people to embrace new technologies and learn how to use them confidently.

The special features of adult education

Adults learn differently than children. They already have more experience with learning and can build on existing knowledge, but they don't have as much time to dedicate to learning. Therefore, it is particularly important in adult education to provide location-independent and time-flexible learning content. Adults' motivation for learning also differs significantly from that of children. Lifelong learning is primarily about individual interests, personal development, and new career opportunities. Continuing education and retraining therefore play a major role in the professional context, but courses can also be taken in one's free time, or new content can be learned autodidactically.
