How adults learn
What characteristics do i have as adult learners…. Teamwork it is vey important for me to have teamwork.. teamwork is needed for doing any work regardless di mana mana tempat even dalam rumah or semasa waktu membuat kerja dan sebagainya. Understand each other needs atau apa sahaja yang berkaitan dengan kehidupan kita seharian atau di mana mana tempat oleh itu adalah sangat penting untuk mempunyai this characteristics because this will also help to me to learned something new or anything. Kemahuan ingin belajar lagi adalah salah aspek yang penting yang patut kita perolehi dalam setiap individu begitu juga dengan saya … tidak kira lah siapa orang atu di mana tempat kita belajar … the most important things is mesti ada kemahuan belajar sesuatu yang baru and it automatically makes ourself to have more knowledege and experienced which also makes me never give up to do any work.

We need TEAMWORK ... UNDERSTANDING and NEVER GIVE UP
Of course experienced can makes ourself more confident and mature. From experienced also we can learn something new and we can get outself ready to face challenge in the near future. As for me i learn a lot from past experienced like how to communicate with people … how to talk with people … shares knowledge and experienced which will help me today and future needs. I can take this course as an example ( Diploma in youth work development ) … whatever we learned whatever we have teach whatever we experienced from the class .. i can apply to my work as dealing with young people and also my people arround me like family friends or colleague. Whatever we learned and experienced from yesterday .. inda kira what type of pengalaman dan pengajaran ia semuanya ada makna tersendiri dan hikmahnya tersndiri yang mana akan membantu kita di masa akan datang … in order to success we must learn from the past exprienced.
A personality trait that comprises self-confidence, reliability, responsibility, resourcefulness, and goal-orientation.. which we can call it self-directedness. As a youth worker i have this self directedness which is also important when we do any work or even in everday life. We need self confidence in everday life which can makes us more reliable to others. From this we can feel more responsible what ever we do. Sometimes we need self-directedness in order to make the job more creative and more interesting which can also berguna bila we need to makes any decision which we must be responsible also.

Be Confident..Be Responsible..
As a youth worker we must be creative .. we must understand each people needs … we must be equal to people especially the youth because different people different needs and the way of thinking. Untuk membuat sesuatu aktibiti belia biasanya kita hendaklah bertanya and doing some research ( any tools like talk to them ) oleh itu kita akan tahu apa kemahuan dan keinginan belia itu sendiri dengan ini membolehkan sesuatu aktibiti itu more interesting and enjoyable.
Certain activity needs certain types of activity which can make them experienced individually. We can take this course as an example also … whatever we have learned and experienced we share the knowledge to them which they can experinced also. Also we can take our everday experinced… life experinced which we can share to them which can help them to think carefully whatever the decision are they making in daily life. However we can learn from each other also .. inda kira pangkat umur atau apa sahaja yang berkaitan dengannya. Nevertheless when comes to experinced we must share to them which will be useful for them inda kira banyak atau pun sedikit as long it help them.
Working at the youth and sport department under youth section were usually doing any activity with the community. From this we can berkerjasama membuat sesuatu aktibiti contohnya membuat kerja gotong royong di suatu kampong yang di tetapkan dengan ini bolehlah kita mempelajari lebih mendalam lagi dari segi banyak aspek like teamwork dan sebagainya. Dengan sendirinya juga kita boleh share experinced and knowledge to them which whatever we learned from them and we can share to them also.

Doing any activity for the youth need objective and goals which can gain from joining the activity. When we have this objective and goals it will usefull for them but we must make sure the activity reach the objectives and goals. We also need to plan any activity base on what they needs and want. dengan adanya minat untuk mengikuti apa sahaja aktibiti mereka akan sendirinya membelajari dan mengambil sesuatu daripadanya dengan lebih baik lagi. We also need to plan the activity for the future i mean keep on going. In order to make them learn we must give them motivation also make any activity more interesting and beruguna untuk mereka. Walaubagaimanapun tidak semestinya mengajar mereka melalui mengikuti activity belia sometimes we just talk to each other share everything but we must know our limit …. from this they will learned something and can help them for the future.
