1) The document discusses principles of adult learning, including Malcolm Knowles' definition of andragogy as "the art and science of helping adults learn." 2) Six key principles of adult learning are outlined: the need to know, self-concept of the learner, the role of life experiences, readiness to learn, orientation to learning as problem-centered rather than content-oriented, and internal motivation. 3) Effective strategies for helping adults learn include encouraging active participation, providing meaningful and relevant learning opportunities, using multi-sensory techniques, allowing time for practice and reflection, giving regular feedback, and motivating further learning through recognition and rewards.
