Aims

- To develop a base knowledge of the main research and theoretical models related to the question of the factors of learning in adult formation.
- To be able, in the light of the theoretical frames presented in the course, to analyse the factors likely to favour or to stand in the way of the learning in practical situations of formation.
- To be able, on the basis of this analysis, to draw the ways of action for the practices of formation.
