Personal Learning Theory
There are different learning theories that people use as they acquire knowledge and new learning. Moreover, a person can have more than one learning, but this depends on his leaning abilities; the learning program used in the institution he is enrolled to; and the content of the knowledge he is about to learn. Therefore, it is vital and teachers, students, and learning institutions administrators are able to understand that people do not learn in the same way. Further, the educators should be aware of the various teaching strategies he will use because a certain strategy may be effective to one student, but it does not apply to the others. For the purposes of this paper, my personal learning theory is the andragogy …show more content…
For one, it is essential that adult learners are able to understand why they have to learn in the first place, and see what they should learn for their personal benefit. Further, it is vital that adults learn in an atmosphere where they are not deprived of the chance to share in the responsibility of what they have to learn in the process. This is why the andragogy was introduced as a learning theory by Knowles. Andragogy, as a concept, presupposes that adults learners need to know why the need to learn something and that these type of learners learn experientially (Culatta, 2015). During his time, the concept of pedagogy was passive-based because the people behind these theories did not actually teach children in schools, but were trainers of adults. When this concept was introduced, many criticized it because they contended that andragogy applies to young learners. Ultimately, the andragogy theory developed into a popular adult education theory when Knowles created a border line which made andragogy distinct from pedagogy. The former is learner-focused while the latter is teacher-directed (Pappas, 2013). Furthermore, this theory gained such popularity and became the foundation for the adult education movements of the twentieth century because scholars have proven that adults have many experiences and pre-established beliefs compared to the young learners. Hence, it is appropriate that the …show more content…
I have come to understand that in training my team, there is a need to incorporate the andragogy learning theory. With the use of this theory, my team is able to know what they need to learn in the process for them to offer quality services, much more in maintaining and repairing military vehicles. Aside from that, my team should know why they have to offer these services so that they can perform excellently, knowing that their learning is of immediate value to them. Considerably, maintaining and repairing military vehicles is vital in strengthening the national defence. In addition, maintaining and repairing military vehicles reduce the probability of equipment failure. This plays a significant role with how the military operates, much more with how they maintain peace and order in the community. With the use of andragogy, I am confident that my team is able to provide the necessary military services, starting from providing engineering and technical support down to managing upgrade systems. Aside from that, the regularly scheduled maintenance and repair for each military vehicle would also play an important role in extending the life of these vehicles and equipments. This does not only presupposes the strengthening of the national defence and the maintenance of peace and order, but this is also one way of helping the government to lessen its military
