LESSON 1: Introduction to andragogy and adult learning principles
The objective of this lesson is to introduce participants to the concept of andragogy and the principles that guide effective adult learning, with applications in barista training contexts.
LESSON 2: Instructional design models for effective barista training
The objective of this lesson is to introduce participants to key instructional design (ID) models and how to apply them when developing engaging, structured, and learner-centred training for baristas.
- Understand and apply the principles of andragogy to create effective adult learning experiences in barista training.
- Identify and compare key theories of adult learning, including experiential and problem-based learning.
- Select and implement appropriate instructional design models (e.g. ADDIE, Merrill, Gagné) to structure training.
- Design learner-centred and practical training activities tailored to the barista context.
- Integrate digital tools to enhance training accessibility, engagement, and performance.
- Facilitate and evaluate training sessions that respect learners' experience and support professional growth.
