Adult Learning Theory Knowles assumptions of andragogy are based on the progressive learning process. His first assumption on self-concept portrays learners as self-directed, and responsible for their learning process, and he relies on self-evaluation to measure progress and achievement (Knowles, Swanson and Holton 34). Although Knowles places such a learner in the adult category, I believe he failed in giving the age bracket of such learners. This makes it difficult to tell the ages of adults…
