Upon successful completion of this unit, students should understand how 'difference' has been conceptualised in relation to adult learning and development; appreciate how social, cultural and other differences interact with and shape processes of adult learning and development; recognise the implications of difference among adult learners for program design and delivery; and acquire skills and strategies for working with difference among adult learners in workplace and community settings.
