Abstract

This study discussed some psychological factors that affect adult learning in
selected study centers in Ibadan Metropolis Oyo state. Survey research design
was adopted for the study. Convenience sampling technique was used to select
sixty four (64) adult participants (22 males and 42 females), from the three
study centers organized by the Department of Adult Education, University of
Ibadan. A questionnaire titled Adult Psychological Scale (APS), (r=0.89) was used
for the study. Two hypotheses were tested. The result of the first hypothesis
showed that the joint effect of Memory, Concentration, ability to Absorb/Recall,
and Judgment) on Adult Learning was significant (F (4, 59) = 16.352; R = .725,
R2 = .526, Adj. R2 = .494; P < .05. The second hypothesis showed that the
individual effect of each of these variables on adult learning was also significant
Memory (? = .277, P <.05), Concentration (? = .252, P <.05), ability to
Absorb/Recall (? = .315, P <.05) and Judgment (? = .198, P <.05). In conclusion,
the study showed that understanding the psychological factors that affect adult
learning is important for success in teaching the adult learners. The adult
educator should therefore try to understand the psychological characteristics of
adult learners so as to help them benefit from adult learning experience.
