Abstract

There are many theories that explain how adults learn and each has its own merits. This guide explains and explores the more commonly used ones and how they can be used to enhance student and faculty learning.

The schema can be used at curriculum planning level, or at the level of individual learning. At each stage of the model, the guide identifies the responsibilities of both learner and educator.

The guide is designed for those new to education, in the hope that it can unravel the difficulties in understanding and applying the common learning theories, whilst also creating opportunities for debate as to the best way they should be used.

This paper presents relationship between network activity and self-assessment of health among medical students. As a result of the study, it was found that medical students in the initial period of study experience serious problems with adaptation to the educational space of the university, which is resulting in a low selfassessment of their physical and mental status, however, health-related quality of life statistically significantly increased closer to graduation.
