Synopsis: It is widely recognised that lifelong learning is key to Singapore's economic viability in the 21st century. Many courses and programmes have been launched to help working adults pursue their continuing education. Financial and other types of support were offered at various levels. Institutions have tried to redesign their courses to address adult learners' needs such as incorporating it into bite-sized units, flexible schedules and locations. However, are these the main factors related to their intention to enrol in the courses? The session revealed the recent research findings showing that one's internal growth mindset is an even stronger predictor in addition to these types of external support. There were also engagements with the expert panel on the implications of this for Adult Educators, course designers and policy advisors.
