Abstract
The article is devoted to learner-centered learning program development for adult
learners, which are experienced professionals – chief executives. The high speed of
learning and precise learning outcomes are seen as the main need of an executive in a
learner role. A learner-centered learning program satisfies the need.
The article suggests the use of a professional role model of a learner – after learning
program completion – as a main tool for the development of an appropriate learnercentered learning program. The details of the professional role model, as well as an
algorithm of learner-centered learning program development, are discussed.
One of the key problems in learning program development is that the skills, competencies and capabilities developed during learning programs often can’t be applied outside
the learning program – in “real life” contexts. To enable a learner to be successful in
real contexts, it is suggested to use a role concept in different contexts. The learning
program in this case should develop not only the ability to play a role, but also play
it in different contexts; not just to acquire new roles, but to be able to reduce roles for
simpler ones, as well as to compose new roles.
