Factors for Learning:

• Relevant/Authentic
• Missionaries learning to "be" missionaries, yet they don't understand really the reason why because they aren't "doing" missionary work. Somehow missionaries have to see why they are learning the things that they are learning--why it is relevant.
• Perhaps one way to do this I believe is to have the missionaries be trained while they participating in real missionary work.
  
• The chat feature in Mormon.org allows anyone to chat with missionaries instantly at the MTC. Perhaps this is a way that the learning can become more real and missionaries can learn to "be" missionaries.
• The Referral Center could also allow missionaries to "be" missionaries by talking with real people that have real questions.
  
• Doing, actually practicing
• Missionaries can't just listen all day
• "Life's lessons are caught not taught" quote from Elder Bednar in CES broadcast.
• Learners cannot be lectured to, but given opportunities to try or use what they have learned, if that does not happen I believe a significant amount of the knowledge will be lost. Perhaps the motivation would improve if they knew they were going to use it.
  

Reciprocal teaching? Perhaps a method to engage the learners more.
