Knox(1986) stated that “teaching style consists of the characteristic ways in which you help adults learn” (p. 41). He further stated that "teaching tends to be quite intuitive and implicit, largely reflecting the instructor's personal qualities and habits" (p. 41). Teaching style, according to Knox, consists of two aspects, responsiveness and procedures. Responsiveness consists of the ways in which adult educators should respond to the learners. He stated that adult educators should(1) "be supportive and encourage participants to be resources for the learning of others as well as active agents of their own learning", (2) “accommodate participant needs and expectations that fit program purposes", (3) "let participants know early where their reasons and program purposes match, and help them seek resources and assistance to meet needs that some learners may want to pursue beyond your program” ;(4) “help participants understand their characteristics related to learning and will provide options individuals as well as the group"; and(5) "allow for the selection of examples, concepts, and procedures likely to be helpful the participants at their current stage of development" (p. 44).
