Andragogy

Various analyses have shown a strong connection between an adult’s critical thinking and decision-making skills. These proficiencies will increase the likelihood the adult will make sound decisions now and in the future. The author’s use of two approaches to adult learning are critical thinking and decision-making. Although there are many facets of critical thinking, Moore (2010) states, “Adults will learn more effectively if the subject matter is meaningful to them and relevant to their goals,…

Educator. Androgogy well known as the art and science of the adult learner. In Greek means, the man-leading. Which is an. dro.go.gy. Andr is man and agogy means leading. Andragogy should be equal to the term of pedagogy. In 1980, Knowles made 4 assumptions about the characteristic of the Adult Learner or well known as Andragogy. And in 1984, he added another 1 assumption . So total of 5 exemptions. Self –Concept The personality of each individual will change once they have grown up. From the…

teach a train-the-trainer course for preschool teachers derived from the All 4 Kids published curriculum. Acelero Head Start preschool teachers were the target audience for the program’s train-the-trainer lesson. In line with Knowles' theory of andragogy, trainers should recognize that the richest resources for learning reside in adult learners themselves; therefore,…

By doing this we can ensure that participants will be engaged with the contents of this seminar. We have decided to facilitate and implement this seminar through the lens of Knowles’ concept of Andragogy, and the concept of embodied learning. Knowles’ concept of Andragogy is based on 6 basic assumptions about adult learners, which are: 1) adults are self-directed, 2) adults have wealth of knowledge based on their experience, which is a good resource for learning, 3) adults learn…

Bear (2012) noted these learning concepts described in the article (a) andragogy, (b) self-directed learning, (c) learning-how-to-learn, (d) real-life learning, and (e) learning strategies. The adult learner participates in learning when help is provided for them to learn, known as andragogy. The concept of self- directed learning takes places when the adult learner takes control or self-initiated learning. Adult learners initiate…

Literature Review It’s the 21st century; the 15th year of the 3rd millennium, and although we cannot predict the future, research suggests that certain types of learners can gain greater relevance when their educational process is merged with eLearning pedagogy (Dailey-Hebert & Donnelli, 2010, p. 216). When designing an eLearning course, and in the future mLearning courses, it is important to consider your audience, their age, and technical comfort level. Starting first with the different types…

Entry 1 1a) Reflect on how your learner’s profile will affect your training preparation (e.g lesson plan in Module 2) & training delivery (Module 3) To provide at least 1 example of all of the following: 1) Demographics – Age, Race and Gender are important parts in planning a training plan. Training must appeal to the young and old learners involved. Care must be taken not to broach on sensitive topics based on gender E.g the antagonist should not always be a female (auntie) E.g Acronyms or…

educational level, wider views and economic development. Creative and critical thinking skills are considered essential for students (Crane, 1983). He claimed that both critical and creative thinking play equal and important roles in completing a better andragogy across the mission of long life learning. Even though both of the thinking are often contrasted, but the combination of these two thinking definitely will…

This results in different methods of student learning and peer educator guidance as well. These were also mentioned in the second reading for the course (The Role of Peer Educators) where it compared child and adult learners through pedagogy and andragogy. “In a pedagogical environment, learning is based on memorizing or rote. Nevertheless, in an andragogical environment, learning generally occurs by relating the new information with the learners’ lives” (Akin, 2014). Since it is less likely…

As I reflect on the semester, I am reminded of all the struggles and triumphs. The struggles consist of conflicting communication, work strategy, and time management styles within a group. The triumphs include how the group consistently managed to work together despite our many differences, and effectively complete each assignment, although the participation was not consistent. I feel that group based projects are better suited for the workplace, instead of higher education. My reasoning stems…
