ADDIE-Children+vs+Adults

The ADDIE model can be used for both kids and adults.

Interestingly, when researching the adult theory of learning, it is said that "Adult learning differs from children’s learning in that it is self-directed, problem-centered, experience based, and more often relevant to life." I disagree that adult learning is different from kid learning and believe that both should be relevant; the Project Approach builds on natural curiosity, enabling children to interact, question, connect, problem-solve, communicate, reflect, and more.

I believe that the ADDIE approach to learning works for both adults and children. ADDIE is meant to be used as a model for instruction. Therefore, no matter who you are teaching or who is learning the design process works the same way. It is up to the instructor to cater toward the needs of the learner, be it an adult, a child, children with special needs, adults with special needs or even a class of adults and children. The steps work the same way and allow you to constantly evaluate the performance of any learner or group of learners.
