Group behavior is as effective as individual attitudes and skills in coping with the pandemic and slowing the spread of the disease. In this process, adults’ health literacy skills are vital in their strategies to cope with the pandemic. This paper is aimed to examine the learning needs of adults that have emerged with the pandemic from the perspective of Turkey. The COVID–19 pandemic demonstrates the key role of education as part of lifelong learning, in the context of adult health literacy skills and managing disaster processes.","PeriodicalId":43405,"journal":{"name":"New Horizons in Adult Education and Human Resource Development","volume":"30 1","pages":"49 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75412756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach is usually selected because it allows a targeted message to reach large populations using varying mediums of transmission, such as social media, radio, television, and word of mouth. The lyrics can borrow from scientific information, political change messages, or a catchphrase common to many. It is also common to infuse a catchy line that most can remember, and markedly prominent musicians might come together to work on such a project to encourage fundraising or to push the message.

As those operational changes were implemented, the experiential learning theory (ELT) was practiced by the leaders, staff, and human resource development (HRD) practitioners. In general, employees’ operational practices were created to work in a building and not remotely. The normalcy of driving to the workplace changed for many employees to work from any remote location. The purpose of this article is to highlight how ELT helped organizational leaders and HRD practitioners adapt during the COVID 19 pandemic. Many employees did not think that work in their profession could be completed remotely, but when a worldwide pandemic occurred, organizational leaders and HRD practitioners were ingenious and practiced ELT to stay open for business.","PeriodicalId":43405,"journal":{"name":"New Horizons in Adult Education and Human Resource Development","volume":"27 1","pages":"44 - 48"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90051003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Keeping the current COVID–19 pandemic in the foreground, we examined the industrial, change management, and crisis management literature to illustrate how HRD professionals successfully helped their organizations overcome organizational challenges imposed by the pandemic. We propose some essential competencies that HRD professionals, as change agents, need to support organizations to survive a crisis in the long term. At the core of our model is learning, unlearning, and relearning. HRD professionals can develop the core competencies in conjunction with essential competencies such as flexibility, agility, thoughtfulness, effective communication, critical thinking, and creativity. Through our conceptual competency model, we propose that HRD can prepare its professionals holistically to support leaders and employees during a crisis.","PeriodicalId":43405,"journal":{"name":"New Horizons in Adult Education and Human Resource Development","volume":"26 1","pages":"37 - 43"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83270022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result of politics, egos, and a neglect for science, the U.S. government's response over how to handle the pandemic was bungled with misinformation and conflicting reports only fueling skeptics who no longer trust the government. Many adults still question the benefits of social distancing, masks, and a vaccine while more than 1,000,000 Americans have perished from COVID–19. A well–developed and consistent response to future health crises is necessary. The military already prepares its members to survive during challenging times and may offer human resource development professionals opportunities to focus on the skills that are beneficial in handling a global health crisis. The replication of military training in the workplace dealing with a pandemic is considered.","PeriodicalId":43405,"journal":{"name":"New Horizons in Adult Education and Human Resource Development","volume":"19 1","pages":"16 - 26"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89247654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To investigate the relationship between age, gender, computer use, and adult learners’ problem–solving skills in a digital environment, this study analyzed the 4,540 Korean participants’ problem–solving skills in a technology–rich environment using the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies data. Importantly, age showed the strong relationship with problem–solving skills of adults in a digital environment. Such results indicate that it is necessary to use different strategies to enhance problem–solving skills in a digital environment for different age groups. Another key finding was that the relationship between gender and problem–solving skills was weak. In addition, the relationship between problem–solving skills in a digital environment and computer use in one's life was stronger than computer use at work. Such results should be reflected in developing strategies and programs for information and communication technologies training.","PeriodicalId":43405,"journal":{"name":"New Horizons in Adult Education and Human Resource Development","volume":"3 1","pages":"48 - 57"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79365140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
