    The document discusses the differences between pedagogy and andragogy. Pedagogy refers to teaching children, while andragogy refers to teaching adults. The main differences are that children rely on others to decide what to learn, accept information at face value, and have little experience. Adults decide what is important to learn, need to validate information based on experience, and have significant experience to draw from. The document then outlines Malcolm Knowles' 5 assumptions of adult learners, including that adults are self-directed, draw from life experiences, are problem-centered, and are internally motivated to learn. It concludes with Knowles' 4 principles of andragogy which

    Lesson II :

    How Adult Learns


    Pedagogy vs.
    Andragogy
    INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES (ILOs)

    • Differentiated pedagogy vs andragogy of learning


    • Explained the 5 assumptions and Priciples of adult
    learners by Malcolm Knowles.
    Pedagogy derives from the Greek for “child” and “leading”
    and refers to the science and practice of teaching children.
    Researcher Malcolm Knowles first introduced the term
    andragogy in about 1968 in reference to a model for teaching
    adults.
    Main differences between Pedagogy and Andragogy,
    as defined by the Institute on Aging

    Children in education:
      
    • Rely on others to decide what is important to learn  
    • Accept the information being presented at face value 
    • Expect what they are learning to be useful in their long-
    term future  
    •  Have little or no experience upon which to draw – are
    relatively “clean slates” 
    • Little ability to serve as a knowledgeable resource to the
    teacher or fellow classmates 
    Main differences between Pedagogy and Andragogy,
    as defined by the Institute on Aging

    On the other hand, adult learners: 


     
    • Decide for themselves what is important to learn  
    • Need to validate the information based on their beliefs and
    experience  
    • Expect what they are learning to be immediately useful 
    • Have much experience upon which to draw – may have fixed
    viewpoints  
    • Significant ability to serve as a knowledgeable resource to the
    trainer and fellow learners 
    Knowles’ 5 Assumptions of Adult Learners

    In 1980, Knowles made 4 assumptions about
    the characteristics of adult learners (andragogy) that
    are different from the assumptions about child learners
    (pedagogy). In 1984, Knowles added the 5th
    assumption.
    Knowles’ 5 Assumptions of Adult Learners
    1. Self-Concept
    As a person matures his/her self concept moves from one of being
    a dependent personality toward one of being a self-directed
    human being.

    2. Adult Learner Experience


    As a person matures he/she accumulates a growing reservoir of
    experience that becomes an increasing resource for learning.
    Knowles’ 5 Assumptions of Adult Learners
    3. Readiness to Learn
    As a person matures his/her readiness to learn becomes oriented
    increasingly to the developmental tasks of his/her social roles.

    4. Orientation to Learning
    As a person matures his/her time perspective changes from one of
    postponed application of knowledge to immediacy of application. As a
    result his/her orientation toward learning shifts from one of subject-
    centeredness to one of problem centeredness.

    5. Motivation to Learn
    As a person matures the motivation to learn is internal
    (Knowles 1984:12).
    Knowles’ 4 Principles Of Andragogy
    In 1984, Knowles suggested 4 principles that are applied to 
    adult learning:

    • Adults need to be involved in the planning and evaluation of their


    instruction.
    • Experience (including mistakes) provides the basis for the learning
    activities.
    • Adults are most interested in learning subjects that have immediate
    relevance and impact to their job or personal life.
    • Adult learning is problem-centered rather than content-oriented.
    (Kearsley, 2010)
