Knowles' Adult Learning Theory or Andragogy - Simplest Explanation Ever

Malcolm Knowles Adult Learning or Andragogy - Simplest Explanation Ever
Learning is a continual process, and we never really stop learning. Malcolm Knowles popularised Andragogy as the art and science dealing with how adults learn. Pedagogy deals with a teacher-centered approach, whereas andragogy encourages a learner-centered approach.
We firstly understand how adult learners are different to children, and then go into how training is designed using the andragogical approach.

"Train the trainer" instruction is one example how to approach andragologically.

Another example of andragogy could be the training provided during a PhD in good scientific training programs

Appraise and discuss the concepts and principles of adult learning by comparing and contrasting at least 2 theories?

[@humanresources8439]

how did you answer this question?

[@aleclefeber2596]

Knowles' Andragogy theory suggests that adults learn best when learning is self-directed, based on their experiences, directly relevant to their lives, and when they're ready to learn. In contrast, Kolb's Experiential Learning theory asserts that learning occurs in a cycle of concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. While both theories underscore the importance of experience in adult learning, Knowles focuses on learner autonomy and the practical application of learning, whereas Kolb emphasizes the continuous iterative process involving reflection and conceptualization. The two can complement each other in adult learning, with self-directed learners effectively going through the cycles of experiential learning.

Where was the thumb nail in this video?😅 was it explained at some point?

[@MisterSimplify]

A version of the thumbnail appears in the 'principles of Andragogy' section. This would be the Andragogy part of it. It symbolises how the Andragogical approach is student-centric. The Pedagogy part of the thumbnail isn't featured as this tutorial is more about Andragogy than pedagogy. Pedagogy represents standard practice, which is a teacher-centric, classroom approach.

Notes from the video Adult learner characteristics: 1. Self-concept. Self-directed 2. Learning from experience 3. Need to know. “Tell me why this is important” 4. Readiness to learn. Topic needs to matter to them. 5. Immediate application 6. Internally motivated Facilitate learning, rather than teaching Principles of Andragogy: 1. Problem-focused 2. Learner and facilitator both learn from the experience 3. Meet learner expectations 4. Focus on usefulness 5. Gather feedback
