Course Notes - Module 2 - Adult Learning and Andragogy

The document discusses the differences between pedagogy and andragogy, with pedagogy referring to teaching children and andragogy referring to teaching adults. It presents a teacher's view that the approaches are not exclusive to different age groups and that andragogical principles can be applied to students as well depending on their needs and level of self-direction. Participants are then directed to readings, videos, and activities to help them better understand and apply andragogical principles when facilitating adult learning.

Adult Learning and Andragogy
What do you think?

• Are ‘pedagogy’ and ‘andragogy’ similar or


different?
• Is ‘pedagogy’ exclusive to student learners
and ‘andragogy’ to adult learners?
• How can we be effective facilitators of adult
learning?
Adult Learning and Andragogy

Read the article, with a focus on pages 6172, to


identify the similarities and/or differences between
andragogical and pedagogical principles.

Note: To access the article on ‘The Adult Learner’, you have

Adult Learning and Andragogy
A teacher’s view:
“Pedagogy is not exclusive to students and andragogy is
not exclusive to adults learners. It depends on the
learners and their needs. For example, some students
may be self-directed, so we should apply andragogical
principles in our classroom practice. Therefore, I think
andragogy is not exclusive to adult learners.”

Do you agree or disagree with the teacher’s view above,

As you watch the video, think about the following:

• Do andragogical principles apply for both adults and


students?

confirm the view you have taken after reading the
article?
Andragogical Principles
These are andragogical principles we should consider
when planning to facilitate learning:
1) The need to know
2) Role of learners’ self-concept
3) The role of learners’ experiences
4) Readiness to learn
5) Orientation to learning
6) Motivation
