Andragogy

We take experiences from life as well as daily obstacles and learn from them. Andragogy theory is derived from four assumptions differentiating from pedagogy.

The subject matter is sequenced logically and centered on the subject versus personal learner needs, and the motivation to learn the subject matter is mostly external, such as from parents, teachers, or…
