This is a professional wiki, and while I (Andrew) have started it, it would be appreciated if you could add to (edit) the wiki as a collaboration. I'd be interested to see how it will look 2 years from now. (11-11-09).
(Redirected from Androgogy)Andragogy consists of learning strategies focused on adults. It is often interpreted as the process of engaging adult learners with the structure of learning experience. Originally used by Alexander Kapp (a German educator) in 1833, andragogy was developed into a theory of adult education by the American educator Malcolm Knowles. Knowles asserted that andragogy (Greek: "man-leading") should be distinguished from the more commonly usedpedagogy(Greek: "child-leading"). Knowles' theory can be stated with six assumptions related to motivation of adult learning: [1[
Adults need to know the reason for learning something (Need to Know)
Experience (including error) provides the basis for learning activities (Foundation).
Adults need to be responsible for their decisions on education; involvement in the planning and evaluation of their instruction (Self-concept).
Adults are most interested in learning subjects having immediate relevance to their work and/or personal lives (Readiness).
Adult learning is problem-centered rather than content-oriented (Orientation).
Adults respond better to internal versus external motivators (Motivation).
The term has been used by some to allow discussion of contrast between self-directed and 'taught' education.[3
